And you know, you sound like a girl who could actually pull off saying "eee!" in real life, which yes, is a compliment. And now I finally get how there can be a difference, but it's a very subtle difference. So there.
I hadn't heard you talk before, but you sound exactly as I imagined you would. I actually always read your entries quickly because I assumed you talk quickly... does that make sense? Anyway.
My friend Candice (also from New York) also drops the "t" in certain words; she once recorded me a cute message of her saying "I live four and a half hours from Manha'an, I've never liked President Clin'on, and my coat needs new bu'ons."
I pronounce "Mary" and "marry" the same way, but "merry" differently. I could definitely hear the difference in each of the words when you said them. Accents fascinate me.
Um... I had more to say, but I've forgotten it. You've reminded me that Roxy and I need to do that second phone post sometime soon, though.
Hee!! I do talk so quickly and I babble and it's all just very fast and random and I'm always afraid that I don't make sense.
Accents are really a fascinating topic, I'm tempted to take a linguistics class just to learn more about them. They're really very strange and interesting.
You should do a phone post! I love hearing how people speak.
I did one a while ago, with Roxy, but it's kind of pathetic because we couldn't think of anything to say, so we resorted to swearing at each other and giggling a lot (therefore completely ruining our reputation as standoffish bitches. Hee). We'll do a real one soon. ;)
It's okay, I understand the overwhelming Seacrest hate all too well. I am thinking that we could force the two of them into a compromising position and take pictures to sell to the Enquirer and the two of them will be shunned and forced to move to Siberia.
Hee! I'm glad that I lived up to expectations and I am glad that I found someone who says mitten the same way! We are few and far between.

And this is how you can use Ryan Whathisargyle's skeevy crush on you to your advantage. Brava, my dear.
They should be shunned. The combined effect of their douchebagness will destroy America.
I feel honored; did I vaguely inspire that post (or at least that topic of conversation) with my confession in Pasha's journal yesterday? I can definitely hear the difference when someone else says it, but I just can't vocalize the differences myself. It sounds weird and over-enunciated or something.
Just for the record, I was totally NOT singing the 98 Degrees song when I typed that. NOT AT ALL.
You should feel honored, I would have given you a shoutout but, as you can see, I was a little babbly and not thinking straight, just thinking quickly and talking even faster.
I don't know any 98 Degrees songs, and yet I am the sole person who voted for Nick Lachey in your poll. Yesterday on VH1 I saw Driven: Jessica Simpson which featured shots of Nick Lachey and the rest of the band in huge overalls with bright yellow sweatshirts underneath. Perhaps I did not have the proper information at my disposal when I voted.
You're my sunshine after the rain You're the cure against my fear and my pain 'Cause I'm losing my mind when you're not around It's all (It's all) It's all because of you
The video was on the Golden Gate Bridge. 98 Degrees was the lamest group ever, but he has gotten better, I think.

It's the other thing my twin and I don't have in common, besides the suckiness.
