Listen to my voice
Time for some voice memes! Took me a while to work the technical side out but I got it in the end and here they are. I stole cool_rain_kiss's idea and uploaded to tindeck, so hopefully that worked. Ignore the amount of times I say "so", m'kay?
Pronunciation Meme
Make a voice post with the following things so that your F-list can hear how you pronounce them (and laugh at you, of course):
- Your name and/or username
- Where you're from
- The words "roof", "aunt", "direction", and "naturally"
- Your favorite song
- Your favorite character
- A word in a different language
Part Two
Say These Words: Aunt, Route, Wash, Oil, Theater, Iron, Salmon, Caramel, Fire, Water, Sure, Data, Ruin, Crayon, Toilet, New Orleans, Pecan, Both, Again, Probably, Spitting Image, Alabama, Lawyer, Coupon, Mayonnaise, Syrup, Pajamas, Caught
Now answer these questions:
What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
What is the bug that when you touch it, curls into a ball?
What is the bubbly carbonated drink called?
What do you call gym shoes?
What do you say to address a group of people?
What do you call the kind of spider that has an oval-shaped body and extremely long legs?
What do you call your grandparents?
What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket?
What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining?
What is the thing you change the TV channel with?
In life news. Hmm. I have become (re)obessed with porridge and have eaten it every weekday morning for the last week or so - twitter is also obsessed with porridge it seems, as every time I mention it I get a tonne of @ replies on the subject. :D I have also been going to the gym. I'm going for little and often, so only 30 mins or so each time, but as many nights as I can.
We finally started watching Mad Men last night, which I really like, and are going to see The King's Speech tomorrow, which I'm looking forward to. On Saturday (after helping out at Littlest Miss King's 4th birthday party) I went to see Tom Lenk do his comedy show in town and he was adorable and hilarious - I want him to do a West End musical! And then on Sunday we went to IKEA in Croydon. I love IKEA! And this one is really easy to get to, it turns out! We will be going back.
And now I should go to bed. I was going an hour ago, but then I decided it'd be a good idea to faff around trying to do a voice post. Excellent decision, self.
