Who are you?

Julen mentioned this as a thread idea, and I figure, well heck, why not? I'm sure pretty much everyone's noticed by now, but I suck at this whole internet privacy idea so let's have some fun! Participation in this thread means you WILL NOT be stalking us!!! That's the disclaimer. :D

So anyway, what do you look and/or sound like? It seems that most of the men we have here have fantabulous accents that I would love to hear demonstrated. For posterity's sake of course...

If you can't think of anything to say, use this script. Apparently it's designed to highlight accent differences in speech. It's also somewhat hard to say. I stumbled a bit the first time I read it:

Please call Stella. Ask her to bring these things with her from the store: Six spoons of fresh snow peas, five thick slabs of blue cheese, and maybe a snack for her brother Bob. We also need a small plastic snake and a big toy frog for the kids. She can scoop these things into three red bags, and we will go meet her Wednesday at the train station.

Yes yes, I'll start. First of all, here's what I look like:

Pirate Day at work, approx. 2 years ago: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v353/ ... 000109.jpg

Gothed out for Halloween. I was a goth/punk hybrid. You can decide for yourself if the piercings are real: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v353/ ... 00433a.jpg

Me chillin' with Satan at the local wax museum: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v353/ ... C01059.jpg

And finally, a close-up of me trying to be pretty for the company Christmas party 2 years back: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v353/ ... 000277.jpg

And now for my voice! I do have an accent but it's not like redneck-strong, sorry guys:

And finally just for fun, me singing (bleh) because Theo and I made a deal that I'd sing for him if he sent me a clip of his Irish accent. He did so I complied. You have my apologies in advance:

Totally not what I expected you to sound like Jen...not sure what I expected. Yeah, as I have no fear of stalkers (if I can't handle you myself there's enough weapons in this house to arm a small militia) I'll be joining this thread once I find my computer mic. Haven't used it since the last time I recorded an acoustic track which was a whiiiile back.

Yeah I'll join this when I get back from this lil 2-3 week trip.

I recently found out my little sony e-book reader has a memory card slot that takes SD cards like my camera. So I uploaded the pictures from my last deployment onto the reader. Unfortuanately the card and e-book is in our rental car which our Chief took to go pick up an officer. So maybe this afternoon. As for hearing what I sound like? Well, I'll see if I can grab a mic to work with when I get back home.

Jen, I totally thought you would have a smokier voice, but I like your voice alot. .....and yes...your singing too.

Well, as my squirrel seems to have died I won't repost those squirrel pics...

Here's me looking uncharacteristically friendly:

And since I'm sick of just posting the pictures where I don't look ugly and my usually grumpy self, here:

This is cool. You can sing really well, Jen! And Metarie, you should share those .wav files.

I cut my hair last week, so this is me with my long hair, dressed up: http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/8804/lookiebu8.jpg I don't normally dress like this, I do this for clubs.

This is me with my new haircut. I think I look much better. I'm not wearing my glasses which I almost always wear, but was trying to get good pictures of me. This was the only good one of note, and it's a weird expression. Oh well! http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/2799/headshotbf7.jpg

This is not a good picture, but I have on my glasses, and I didn't feel like wading through pictures to be picky. Bleh. So nowadays this is what I usually look like. http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/560/glasseskh2.jpg

Now for my voice: http://www.zshare.net/audio/8583408f63a8da/ I listened to all the cool accents at the site this was from one time. Pretty cool, and yeah, a little hard to say it.

Ice, you're so adorable :) And Dev, of COURSE I want to hear your voice, that's 1/2 of the whole point of the thread! Get on it boyeeeeee! :P

I can personally attest that both Xyon and Rail have very nice accents, ladies. Posterity of course.

I hope Cherry's just hibernating, Fruggles :(
