Are you in the love with the sound of your own voice? I most definitely am not head over heels for the soundwaves that escape these lips of mine. My voice is atrocious, but I’m fine with that. I have no intentions on hitting it big in radio.
But, you know whose voice I want to marry? Whose voice I want narrating my life minute by minute? Forget Morgan Freeman. Who has the PERFECT voice?
wrekehavoc, that’s who, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
As part of my weekly monthly semi-annual Phone-a-Blogger endeavor (okay, not so much an endeavor as i have phone numbers for a few bloggers and i can only let so much time pass without calling before i look like a total a$$hole for never calling) (xup, you’re next), I finally strapped my balls on nice and tight and phoned wreke. Of course, my initial call fell during her ten lords a-leaping through her twelve exploding toilets fiasco (or something similarly chaotic). I didn’t catch much aside from, “Toilets! Water! Carpet! Soaked! Husband! Yelling! Boo! ImleavingforDisneyWorldtomorrowbye.” Yeh, no time for voice analysis there.
Oh but, people. The next we spoke, when her basement was dry, ahh her voice…it’s amazing the difference dry carpeting made.
Damn, girl. Get a room with unlimited long distance. And, leave us out of your sick, twisted audio fantasy.
Seriously, you all have to hear her voice. Chances are many of you have already. Her voice has been prominently featured on the internet in the past. See! It is that good! I know good voice when I hear it. But, I’ll let her tell that story if she hasn’t already and so desires. And, I hope there’s an audio clip because it. is. so. good. (i’m still waiting on the jeopardy clips, wreke. in case anyone forgot, 3-time jeopardy winner! you thought this was veteran’s day? my calendar said it’s wrekehavoc day.)
The funny thing is I had always imagined her voice sounding like mine. I’m not sure why exactly. When I read her blog posts, I’ve just always heard them in my voice. Pfft. Totally missed the boat on that one.
So, cross your fingers that she treats us all to some of that fine, smokin’ hot voice of hers. 
Sh!t, I think I’ll call her up tomorrow just to get my own personal fix.
And, if you’re in the market for some baaaaad 70s musical flashbacks, holy cow in a spandex jumpsuit, wreke’s dropping daily doozies. Blatantly bad 70s songs is her theme for NaBloPoMo. Telephone man, anyone? Yep, she’s leaving no lava lamp unturned.
While the music may be bad, at least imagine the posts being read in. the. perfect. voice.
**And, not to make light of Veteran’s Day, a big thank you to all the veterans out there.

I think your category for this post is dead on. Not that I’m “jealous” or anything for not being on your stalk a blogger thingy (ok, maybe just a little) but yeah…you’re a funny bird.

aw, shucks. thanks! you’re voice is lovely, too, my twin
you should have heard my voice last week when we discovered lice. yeah. smokin’ wasn’t the half of it 
i’m just sorry that the first time you called, we were in hell mode. i think we may possibly still be in hell mode. next week, i have my surgery. after that, well, maybe things will settle down long enough for me to realize that i have done no christmas, chanukah, OR birthday shopping (for BC).
you can always stalk me, sistah. and if you don’t, i’ll stalk you, lol

Gadzooks! I didn’t realize this long-awaited phone call was going to be an audition!! I’ll have to start tuning up the pipes in anticipation. But I warn you, if you start talking to me all Alabama, I may develop a southern twang part-way through the conversation

I have to start practicing some crazy voice just in case you ever decide to call me. I can do a decent Carol Channing impression. Or maybe Ethel Merman. Or perhaps Elmer Fudd. Or maybe some mixture of the three of them.
Ooh, this could be fun!

See, now I want to call Wreke. Here I am across the continent, at work, without her phone number, or any particular reason to call.

I love it!! I know what you mean about voices when you read. You have it all set up in your mind how their voice would sound if they were telling you the same story as you read it. Oh yeah. Now I am sooooo curious….
Nylonthread // November 12, 2008 at 1:03 pm |
You do have a deep and sultry one, m’dear. My adorable husband told me this past weekend that he could fit all of my voice in a tin cup. I sure don’t resonate, but seriously?

In other news, Wrekehavoc and Monkeyrotica could do a great radio show together with their excellent voices and charm!

One of the benefits of having a lot of voices in your head is you can get them to read for you. Gives each post it’s own flavor. You just have to pay attention and make sure they are actually reading you the blog and not trying to slip in some subliminal suggestions… like the time the Sean Connery voice had me chasing the neighbors cat around the front yard with scissors.

I am not normal. Never have been. Oh, I can stalk you, too, Grandy. You just have to send me the digits and I’ll add you to the list.
Come on, wreke. My voice reeks and you know it. Geez, I couldn’t even properly pronounce your name (what i figure is a one-syllable name, i managed to turn into two…i also cannot properly pronounce ‘oregon’…oregon, take me away…i need an oregon transplant…fahget about it). I’ll stick to writing sans an audio feed. But, you dear, you’ve got to entertain the masses with that hot voice of yours.
hehe, yes, xup, it is an audition. I suggest drinking warm tea with honey before we speak. And, expanding your chest cavity by filling five balloons. I like an expanded chest cavity.
Ooh, goody, goody. Voices, Mary Lynn! You’ll definitely earn a spot in my top 5 with impressions.
Hi, foolery. Thanks for stopping by. You know, I’m thinking wreke needs to start her own podcast now. Did you hear that wreke??? PODCAST! Then, none of us have to have a reason to call. We’ll have her perfect voice in our computer whenever we need a hot wreke voice fix.
onthecurb // November 12, 2008 at 1:42 pm |
tp, I’m glad I’m not the only one giving voices to my bloggers. I had totally pegged wreke as sounding like myself. I am so happy for her that she doesn’t.
Ha, nylon, that is exactly what I thought about your sweet voice. It is cute and tiny and adorable like your precious pixie self. Really, would you want a deep, booming voice coming out of your petiteness?
And, yes, those two should do a show together! Or, we should at least petition for wreke to do a PODCAST! (wreke? listening? i know i want to listen)
DFlynSqrl, that’s how I am with a book. (minus the snip-snip cat chasing part) I HATE seeing movies made of the books I’ve read and ruining all these great characters I had in my deranged head. Or, vice versa, if I’ve seen a movie first, the book is ruined for me…doesn’t give my many internal voices a chance to come out and play. And, now we’ve extended this habit to blogs. Blog bless us all.

a podcast, huh? i’ll have to talk to BS about whether santa wants to give me certain things for christmas — or chanukah. certain geeky recording things
oh, and fret not, dee. my full name DOES have two syllables. nevermind that some of my southern pals have turned it into one. one even calls me shirley. Dog knows why.
tp and foolery, you can call me anytime. i may not make any sense when you do depending on which crisis du jour is unfolding (as dee pointed out. fall 2008 can basically kiss my a$$), but you are welcome to try it
i certainly would welcome hearing you guys on the other end of the wire.
and nylon? you and i both know that monkey would be the funny person and i’d be the straight man. so to speak. he is one of the funniest people i know.
that being said, i always like hearing your voice, and it isn’t tinny!!! i’m just sorry i have had exactly 0 seconds to return phone calls lately.
