Anyone else hear the "voice" of the poster when reading their post?
I mean some folks have accents and inflections and gender-identifiable timbres ... if i heard them speak, i would recognize them ... (?)

So what do I sound like?
I don't really "hear" posts that way. But I rarely do with books either.

Of course, that's cheating because it's not from posting.
Yup, I think I know what some posters sound like although I'd be surprised I'm sure, if I heard anyone else.
I like reading the British posters because of the subtle word differences used - like "going on holiday" instead of "vacation". They just sound so much cooler than I do.> So what do I sound like?
Dinah, I feel like you have a vey soothing, caring quality to your voice. Maybe medium to high pitch? And although you comment on your insecurities, i think that people you talk to don't sense that at all.
Don't argue because we all have different perceptions of our own voices. Man, I hate to hear my voice on the answering machine. My voice is...well somebody guess!>I rarely do with books either.
It's funny; I always do with books. Then I was completely freaked out after seeing "The Hours" because most of them sounded just like I had imagined they would from reading the book.The men on the board- I have NO idea.
Most of them are falsettos (sp?) probably...I'm kidding guys, I am totally kidding! It's the Demerol talking.

hi Dinah!
> So what do I sound like? >
{jim's disclaimer(s):
i do not begin to have the skill to put into words how these 'voices' "sound" to me ... ... i guess i'd need a command of the linguists' lexicon ... well, i guess we'd all need it, if i was to be understood ...
... then there's the fact that _i_ don't hear voices all the time ... but i will develop a voice the more i read someone ... most of the time ... and for some, i hear no voice, regardless ...
... which are my disclaimer's disclaimers, for this::
... i answer this specific request of Dinah's because i feel close to her, but without being able to necessarily answer any other specific request(s) ...
... (oh, and i can "hear" 'my' "own" 'voice'. too.) ... ... (end o' disclaimers ... maybe!!! ...))dinah i hear you very clearly
... (heh, i guess i mean that in more ways than one ?) ... ... besides your voice being just appealing to the point of alluring ... it has a presence ... it wasn't built up as i read you, like most of the others ... your voice was completely distinct the first time i read you and has not 'developed' in the way i usually experience ... ... ( i have been thinking about this some ) ... your voice has had its own character from the beginning, and that would be what i find most striking about your voice ...... that and how much you sound like a very young lauren bacall ... only sultry ...
>
> I don't really "hear" posts that way. But I rarely do with books either. >i get a lot of "audio" with my reading ... ... heck, i get constant "audio" all the time, it just focuses the "audio" when i have print to tell it what to "say" ....
... i AM going to be Really interested in anyone reciprocating with this description ... i thought everyone would have been like this ... (?)... i get voices from newspaper articles and textbooks and scriptures ...
... does this imply i'm orally fixated ?hopin' to "hear" ya soon,

hi chicklet,
(why did you change your name? ... i like your new one ... should i change my name? ... what should i change my name to? ... should we take a poll about what to change my name to? ... do you want to be a "chicklet" as in a little chick? ... i think that's cool ... it's how i have heard you btway, youngster-ish ... ... teenager

>i would most definitely have been disturbed, if voices in a movie were to match my voices from a book ... ... i would be more than surprised if our posters had any of the voices i've heard ...
... when i wrote that i'd recognize them, i meant i would be able to identify the poster form the voice should i hear that voice ... where, having heard my version of Dinah's voice, say, outside of my head, her "voice" is so distinct that i would think of her specfically ...
... but if i turned around and the person who had that voice told me she was Dinah?

Chuckle. Well, I won't disillusion anyone.
Besides, maybe my psychic voice sounds different than the one constrained by my larynx and adenoids. Although I hear my psychic voice as a little girl one.
It's funny that some people can "hear" posters. I can't see or hear them except in very rare circumstances. And when I've seen photos or heard the real voices I've usually been surprised. I guess I'm pretty comfortable with the text medium.
But Dr. Bob you don't have to guess on. You can watch and listen to him on grand rounds. That was a bit of a surprise to me. I expected him to sound a bit more.... I dunno. More like he writes I suppose.

That's what you should change your name to. it's kind of a "cool-dude-I-got-it-under-control-no-problem-I'm-a-fun-guy" name.
Why'd i change my name...oh my, I suppose I just wanted to shake things up a bit.>i have heard you btway, youngster-ish ... teenager
"Cool with me"? I wish I were teenager-ish! my husband and I went to visit his brother who just started undergrad. The other night when I was all dudded up to go to a club, I looked completely different and actually passed for someone in her 20's.
WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL- we went back last night and the little innocent at the front desk said...

Oh thanks. It's a freaking long story but the short of it is that I have had an ice pick headache for 10 days...came on suddenly, worse headache I've ever had...waking me up at night...keeping me up at night...3 trips to the ER...negative CT scans...well it ain't migraines or cluster headaches and it's not from my meds. And I don't get headaches usually. They tried Fiorinol but it didn't work so now they're treating it symptomatically. Grand. Another demerol? Will possibly have a lumbar tap and mri next week but I really think we're just gonna come up dry here and that's what scares me the most...And frankly, I don't want to waste any more of my "up" mood so I'm getting rather frustrated.

Enough with the Marilyn Monroe! I get that all the time.
I've even been asked to sing
'Happy birthday Mr. President' by complete strangers
Its true.
Sadly I've always wanted a whiskey voice.
If I try to make mine sound "take me seriously"
I end up with a sore throat by the end of the day.
I was born way too 'girly'

" ... and implying to me that something was trying to post ... i panicked ... thought that i had just bombed like 300 of my posts here ... so i clicked the back button .. .. .. quit the browser ... restarted my computer ...

I didn't think I should tell everyone the truth.
The Phyllis Diller voice just isn't that appealing.But if you keep smoking maybe you can grow some vocal nodules and abuse your vocal cords enough to achieve a Kim Carnes-esque timbre.

... ... because you said, "it's kind of a "cool-dude-I-got-it-under-control-no-problem-I'm-a-fun-guy" name" ... and it is so flattering that that's how you think of me ... thanks, babe! ... that's sweet ... really ...... i got one problemo with it though ...
... i positively do NOT see myself as "cool-dude-I-got-it-under-control-no-problem-I'm-a-fun-guy" ... ...
... ... well, maybe the "fun Guy" ... ... "fungi?"
... but, i'm sorry, i am Not cool ... really ... not Even .... i may let myself be superfical enough to go through the sham of "being" the 'I-got-it-under-control-no-problem ' facade there ... ... but i can't even pretend to being cool ...
... can you understand ?
... please ?... when i'd crashed my mail server's inbox, i was directly faced with this issue because i had to re-register ... and i thought about you .. and "Jimbo" ... as i faced those blanks on the registration page ... ... i really like being your Jimbo ... but i didn't really want to post under 'Jimbo' ... ... okay ?

hi chicklet,
> But I don't see you changing your username so I'm not sure. >
this is a complex issue for me ... ... i admire your gumption in changing yours ... ... i am deeply ambivalent about this ... ...
... ... i have diffculties with any of the options i've imagined including lil' jimi ... ... especially lil' jimi ... ...... my grandmother used to insist on calling me "little jimmy" even after i was an adult for decades ... she was blind and we indulged in this little game, as if she didn't know i had grown ...
... but i do not like "lil'" and i am not cool enough for "jimi" ... for as much as i resonate his music ... i'm still not well for indulging the pretense of any like comparisons, please (?) ...
so i'm left with like these things i want to reject but i don't feel like there's anything to ... ... go for?
actually, i was dismayed when i realized i had the option to change my username here ... ... "lil' jimi" 's not tooooo bad, really ... if i didn't have any choice i could live with it ... ... now i have to live with it, because i can't figure out a choice ...
... ... i'd enjoy a survey / vote asking pbabbers, "hey, whaaddya wanna call his guy here?"
... ... HA!... "fungi"? ...
how was your day, beautiful ?
~ jim

Aw gee Wally, I'm sorry- i thought you'd know I was being a tease.
Funny you should say Karencita. My Spanish prof used to call me 'Katarina" and i always loved it. "Karen" is just so...so...well, so.
Now I have to spell it all the time and I hate that. Karen with an 'I'? Karen with a "c"? Karen with a "y"? All of the above? Oish.
my friends and fam call me Kar or Bean. Or nimrod. i kid.> ... i positively do NOT see myself as "cool-dude-I-got-it-under-control-no-problem-I'm-a-fun-guy" ... ...
Oh see the beauty of this is that you don't HAVE to see yourself that way! It's just the image I get when i think of a Jimbo.
>i am Not cool
Oh that's enough crazy talk.>the sham of "being" the 'I-got-it-under-control-no-problem ' facade there
Life's a sham. Ride with it.
> ... can you understand ? ... please ?
I will try.>really like being your Jimbo
Ok now, this is going way too fast for me.>... ... okay ?
> ... ... sorry ...
Oh you must not feel too great tonight. Silly- I was kidding about ALL of it.> i would NEVER drop you !
I'm pretty hefty- I don't know about that.> ... so how's your day been?
Gimmee a 'C' gimmee an 'R' gimmee and 'A' gimme a 'P'!!!! Goooooo team. That's how my day was.
but thanks for asking. hope yourn was good...

You took all the fun out of it.

Mais oui! And she is beautiful, inside and out.
Saucy looking just like you'd imagine.Only in pictures so far though, a trip has been planned for a while as we are the best of friends, but one or the other of us keeps crashing at the wrong time and messing up the plans.
I'm wondering where Kara Lynne is I'm missing her company.
