So, the other day my friend Nicole had a great thought – isn’t it weird that some people who read our blogs have never even heard what our voices sound like? My real life friends and family who read obviously know what I sound like and say they can hear my voice telling them these stories. I think it really makes a difference!
So, because I am susceptible to peer pressure and Nicole asked nicely, I’ve taken one of my blog posts (I’m a Panicker…about the time I almost became a criminal) and recorded it.
Unlike other people, I think my voice sounds awesome. Like Valley girl meets pot head. Plus, I won a speech competition in like 7th grade so BOO YAH!
Is the story funnier or in any way different hearing me say it?
P.S. Thinking about reading people’s blogs when they don’t know what they sound like reminds of something weird I always think about. You know how you have photos with random people in the background that just walked in your shot. Isn’t it weird to think that someone is looking at a photo album right now, flipping through their most precious memories and your dumb ass is like in the background of the shot totally clueless?? WEIRD, RIGHT??!?

love this! definitely gives your post a personality. your voice is awesome.
i don’t think my blog posts read very well. hehehe.
This was such a good idea especially since the written version is my favorite blog post. Btw, your voice hasn’t changed since 2001-which is a good thing.
Your voice is pretty awesome!
As for the photo thing – I always wonder if I’m not on the mantle at someone’s house wandering past in the background of a cherished family photo. I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks about these things!
i love your voice. seriously, nicole has the best ideas.
hahaha. i think about the people in the backgrounds of my photos all the time. i hope there are some good ones of me in the universe.
