The clearing of the throat

tilly_stratfordYes I believe but I'd rather not pray
What I believe in I'd rather not say baby
Did your God show you the door
Well I'm here to eat your apple to the core
My arms. Have. Fallen off. I have walked back and forth across the town picking up big parcels at the post office with things I couldn't get on the train, my Christmas toys mostly. And with a new laptop I can finally play Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of the Undrentide. Half-elven fighter, baby. I'm limiting myself to one hour per day.
Funny I should speak of arm loss, really. I had a really bad nightmare last night, the sort you wake up from with a jolt. A gigantic alligator ripped off my arm. Sure, that was bad in itself, but the worst thing was that no one cared, I was forced to tend to my empty arm socket spurting blood all by myself.
Don't you dare try to psychoanalyze me. I've got a weird phobia of sea monsters, that's all there is to it.
Anyway, voice post meme time!
I haven't had to talk English in any great detail for so long. I know I sound utterly bored, but that's just me concentrating to get my words right. And I sound utterly posh in the process too, don't I?
Not a quick thinker on my feet, me. Behold, five minutes of ers and uhms. Or rather øhs, which is the Norwegian equivalent.
Voice posts are fun, right? You get to hear funny accents if your friends are from far, far away. All we really want is to hear your voice, we don't care what you're saying. So here's a list of typical meme questions that would otherwise be boring, but when communicated aloud - well, it's entertaining. Answer these questions in your post, and encourage others with voice-posting abilities to do the same.
1) What's your name?
2) How old are you?
3) Where are you from? Are you living there right now?
4) Is it cold where you are?
5) What's the time?
6) What are you wearing?
7) What was the last thing you listened to?
8) What was the last thing you ate?
9) What was the last thing you watched on tv?
10) What's your favorite tv show? Why?
11) Quick! Find a book, or something with text on it! Flip to a random page and read some of it! GO!
12) What was the last movie you saw? How was it?
13) Do YOU think you have an accent? Talk about that.
That's probably the most embarassing thing I've ever posted to this blog. I hate my voice and lack of diction, ugh.
ETA: OH MANG I TOTALLY FORGOT THE MOST EXCITING QUESTION. About what time it is. Well, that's MY SECRET now, isn't it?!
Yes - Sherlock Holmes, Gene Kelly's bum and Daryl Hannah, all in one pointless sound file. This is is indeed your lucky day.
Come on, flist, I want to hear your lovely voices!
