VOICE POST OF WORDS AND OTHER SUCH THINGS AS WHAT TOOK MY FANCY, HUZZ! [mirror.] It's very, very quiet, though, as always, so you're probably going to need to turn up the volume. Also, I warn you now, it's like 10 minutes long, and I'm ridiculous. I sort of hate myself, lolz.

DISCLAIMER: I KNOW THAT GLOTTAL STOP IS TWO WORDS.

ILU, and I'm sure you're not ridiculous even though I haven't listened to this yet.

[delgaserasca.livejournal.com]

Heh, you're very nice to me. Unfortunately, ridiculousness stands.

I can't download it for another 360 minutes because Casanova ate my MegaUpload download limit, but I'll let you know.

Gmail is being mean to me now and won't let me reply, sigh.

[delgaserasca.livejournal.com]

Where do they pick these numbers? lol. I'm upping a mirror anyway, because not everyone can use MU.

Go watch Casanova. I have to mingle with The Rentals for a while anyway, and you know.

[twincy.livejournal.com]

I have no idea, but it's annoying as anything.

I will, in a minute. Have to get random Libertines song out of my head, first. (What is it with that band? I don't even like the music that much.)

Go forth and mingle!

:(

Although, maybe you should be relieved. You're not missing much, I promise.

We Scottish do not sound like that! Ha. But your voice post makes me grin like a loon.

[delgaserasca.livejournal.com]

Ha, yes, I know. Mostly because I suck, lol.

[sepiaxtoned.livejournal.com]

Apparently I sound Scottish. Sammie says I do my friends at home don't. I'm blaming FX for that.

& 20 is just so ancient.

[delgaserasca.livejournal.com]

HEH.

Well, no. I'm freaking out less about old-ness, and more about sheer speed of time.

[sepiaxtoned.livejournal.com]

No point in pondering time it's endless!

You're having a quarter life crisis. It's ok!

I have to say I am impressed with your attempt at "teknologkårsordförande"! I did feel rather mean about picking that as my favourite word, once I realized what you were planning to do with it. By then I had actually written it down and I do like the word, so I thought I would give you a challenge (and me in thinking of how to explain its pronunciation.) I am a geek, and that word contains so much of my geekiness -- thank you for giving it a try! *hands over tea and cookies* The only 'complaint' I have (and this is due to my poor explanation) is with the "å" and because I have now thought about a better way of explaining it I will give it to you: "å" is pronounce like the 'o' in "born" or like the 'a' in "all" (though I do get into trouble trying to explain pronunciation with examples of English words, because all my vowel sounds are Liverpudlian). You may find this vital information one day, if you are stranded in Sweden with no English speaking people... Yeah, OK not likely.

Firsly: I always forget which way around your sername goes. *headdesk* Which is why that came out wrong, lol.

Well, I'll try again eventually. Maybe I can get it down without having to stop in the middle!

Oh M! How delightful! You sound just fine - not ridiculous at all. I rather liked the chattiness of it so the ten minutes went by quite fast.

And you love chuffed too! Such a great word to say. My French side takes a back seat sometimes and my Brit side comes out and I *must* say I'm chuffed. Hehehe

You didn't say my username though. /pouts/ You called me Em which amused me since you're called M. LOL! (Together we make candy or a white rap star - take your pick /snicker/)

You'll have to do this again sometime once you've got Dopplegangerin down. I'll ask you to say Everlasting Gobstopper or something fun like that. I can swear in Farsi, but can't spell it, so I'd have to look up how to mangle them with a Roman alphabet for you. /grins/

Now I kind of want to do a voice recording myself. I had once tossed around the idea of doing fic podcasts or some such thing, but it's been ages since my training and I'm sure my cold reading skills and elocution have sadly gone by the wayside.

One final note... Surrealismo!

Ley turned me on to it. Such fun! J'adore Dali! LOL!

[delgaserasca.livejournal.com]

Chattiness = rambling, but you're very kind.

Chuffed is brilliant, and a word that I use more when I'm at home than when I'm at uni, mostly because of the phrase "proper chuffed" which is a regional phrase from slightly north of where I live. (Whilst I go to uni on the south coast).

Haha, when I was in primary school - elementary? - M&Ms was my nickname. (I think my post was a little misleading because no-one ever calls me M out loud, they just send/sign things to me that way.)

Hee. Well, I'd have had a better time with doppelgangerin if I knew the pronunciation of the vowel sounds. I know the 'o' and the 'a' aren't the way we use them in English.

You should, hee. It's a lot of fun. Speaking of podfic: onlysensible has some. I don't much see why you'd need to train yourself to read out aloud; it comes fairly natural. *pokes* You should have some fun with it!

[pretty-cynical.livejournal.com]

you sound like a very mature Emma Watson.

[delgaserasca.livejournal.com]

Hee, okay. I don't really know what to say to that :)
