5 stupid survey questions

nah, we're all geeky in our own special ways.

christ. i sound like willtupper.

I sound british. Or at the very least, stuck up

not really...i hadn't detected any stuck-upedness.

wes, though. you can HEAR his accent in his posts.

What, Wesley Sonck??

yes...the one and only.

*L*
He's anything but british

i know that...i meant you can hear his australian accent.

Can you hear mine?

nope, not really...

So, what DO you picture me sounding like?

1. Fuck yeah. I'd probably ask them for money, too.

2. I have a letter ready, but I've yet to find Chuck's address...

3. Martha Stuart

4. On the day I walked out of class I remember saying, "I am Jack's Humungous Ballsack"

5. I'd take Kitty, so we could make love, and that of course would mean lots and lots of condoms.

don't forget the bactine and bandaids, caulfield. i scratch.

[URL=http://www.chuckpalahniuk.net/authorcontact.php]Here's how to contact chuck.[/URL]

rohan, i don't know...i tend not to put a voice with written words very often...

Me neither.

1. No, because I sound like Mushmouth from Fat Albert and that has a tendency to creep folks out for some odd reason.

2. No, but if I did write Chuck a letter I would just ask him a string of really odd questions. (I.E. What's your favorite flavor of headcheese biscuits? and Who is your favorite Backstreet Boy?).

3. I would love to get in a fight with Emanuell Lewis, not because I don't like him but because I figure I could just stomp him. But then again he does have that advange of being write at crotch level so he would probably just punch me in the nuts and the fight would be over.

4. I walk up to random people and say "testing, testing, one two three." then run away laughing hysterically/maniacally all the time. For some reason they always give me these weird looks.

5. I wouldn't take anyone because for some reason it just seems weird to me. But this never-ending supply you speak of would be a toss-up between giant novelty condom halloween costumes or kleenex or Rubex cubes made out of re-fried pork fat.

I LOVE EVERYONE!

That's nice, will, but you should really answer the questions. I'm excited to see what you'll say!

Yeah, I'm a nerd. Okay.

jane, I'm pretty sure I did already. I think my answers are in here somewhere... if they're not, I'll answer them. They're good answers. This was a good questionaire!

Woah, I made it on Ruby's list.

That surprising 'cuz i'm not like Mr. Personality like a lot of people on these boards...

ok, rents, jane, because i suck at romantic stuff, rents, you should teach me the ways of a woman, and jane, when it's our romantic time, i'll try what dr. rents taught me. and when rents is being super cool and winning jane over, i'll watch fightclub and be okay
as for the chick flicks, no no no no no. hahaha... not meg ryan!!! she's hot, but always acts the same!!! damn damn damn. perhaps we take a large selection of sappy tear jerkers and some good stuff like boondock saints, rushmore, and um.... tenenbaums!!! a huge variety we shall take, from all our personal faves! yay!!! let's go get stranded!!!

Ok, well, all this learning how to romance a girl stuff might not go over so well. I mean, the key word here is HOPELESS romantic. I'll try to teach you the way of the suave, but I doubt it'll work. God knows it hasn't done me much good these last 19, oh sweet jesus almost 20 years. As for movies, I'm down with whatever, but somebody better request a tv, dvd player, and plenty of good dvd's for their limitless supplies or else we're screwed. Once we're on this tropical island, we're there for good.

That is so weird y'all calling me rubes now, cuz all my friends IRL (aaayyy props to Rohan) call me that. spookAy.

Kitty - totally know what you mean about Wes's posts. Ahhh i heart Master Snack.

I actually keep reading everyone's posts in their respective accents in my head (Rents, for some reason, are all in a Scottish accent). and i started to re-read Fight Club again last night with the American accent in my head

i see Kitty, Rubes and Rohan have been talking about me behind my back, eh? how interesting. i go away for 3 days and chit-chat is breaking every which way but loose.

do i really have a type to speech connection happening?

is it just my lazy typing? i wonder. thanks but.

thanks also for the *hearts*.

Rohan-- you have to fucking come and eat dinner at Stuyvesants House down my way- it owns-- also- costs a shitload- but def. worth it.

Details, Wes?

YEAH! Don't change a thing cause sooner or later I'll really talk like that. I'm going to force the accent on myself.

rubes, what accent do you hear with me?

i've always wondered what an american accent sounds like to ppl w/ other accents. i can't help but hear it as "normal." well, except when gee-dub talks, but he's just plain not normal in any sense of the word.

wes, it's the spelling (s instead of z, ou where i'd use just o, expressions like "thanks but.")

rents let the accent develop gradually. otherwise ppl over there will think you're a wanker.

its Dutch/German/Indonesian cuisine- the most ridiculously good/expansive wine list ive ever seen and all round brilliant.

My precious Welsey Sonck! Where have you been! I miss you so!

Kenny, you are a genius. But knowing how I'm a total sucker for Fight Club, Rents would probably be trying to romance me and I'd keep sneaking looks at the TV and answering all his questions in a monotone.

We do need some tearjerkers though. I nominate Basketball Diaries. I know that's not a tearjerker but it freaking makes me cry every damn time.

And not just any wanker, but a yankee wanker. I don't think this'll be too much of a problem though, getting the accent gradually, cause I doubt if I'll even be able to understand them for the first few weeks.

Hey little sister jane s. - have you ever read the book The Basketball Diaries, by writer/god Jim Carroll? He's in the movie, too. Memory serves, he sells himself (DiCaprio, playing him) some smack on the subway.

If you haven't, you should read it. I've kissed him! Jim Carroll, I mean. I had a bet with a friend (hi Claire!) who said I wouldn't be able to do it. I did, and I got her an autographed copy of his book, "Forced Entries."

I was nineteen at the time. It was just a peck on the cheek. But it was a peck on the cheek of genius.

k, rents... i'm the jealous/hopeless romantic... in really real life, i don't need teaching, i just need an ear to bitch into, then that ear goes and hooks up with the girl i've been whining over... okay, that's happened a few really real times, but who knows, maybe this is fantasy island.. perhaps... and maybe i'll be a new person after watching basketball diaries eight kagillion times!!! hehehe....
oh, and, rubes, dahling... do you detect the hillbilly in my twangy typing skills? alabama stereotype accents are hard to hide.

Shit, dude, that sucks. Guy sounds like a real cock. You ever need an ear on the island, I'm your man.
On the topic of accents, you kids only have 'em when I feel like thinking about 'em, otherwise you're all american whether you like it or not. Though I guess Wes and few of you England kids have the slang you like to throw in every once in a while that definitely resounds with accent. Which is totally hot.

nah, looking back, i don't feel very dicked over... landing a special lady friend around here is hard, and i think what i did wrong was indirectly talked my friend into liking her... before, i remember him thinking she was stupid.
wait... maybe i am a good motivator!!! haha. thanks for the ear, rents... you're a true pal.....
rents??
rents???
jane??
dammit, not again!!!!!

Wanna know what I associate american accents with? Movies.

I only ever hear them in movies, so when I do hear someone sounding american, it sounds... wrong.

That whole set of accents means just one thing - I'm at the movies. In some ways (this will sound weird) it's part of how I differenciate so easily between 'film' and 'real life'.

In real life we speak 'properly', not with one of those 'movie' accents.

I've never met an american. I've met numerous canadians and heaps of europeans, and quite a few people from around asia, but never an american.

I've heard a few american tourists before, but when I hear them I almost recoil at how bizarre they sound.

rohan, we are dull and not cool. we are the all singing all dancing crap of the world. i'll shut up now. hahaha

I'll agree with the crap part. As a nation, that is. Most americans I've actually had conversations with over the net have been cool.

Except that texan woman who asked me what state Australia was in.

Hahaha, nice Rohan.

Anyhow... Dammit Rents. You're a cooler, not bitter, talented verson of me. Oh how God laughs at my retarded life. Really, everything in my life is just so STUPID. It's not like I have all these horrible problems, but everything is just so god damn DUMB... Blah... And ok so there are some terrible parts to it, too, but I'm sure everyone's got their shit and I'm getting way off topic...

Anyhow.

Questions:
1) Sure, why not?
2) Nah, no reason to, really.
3) Hmm, I think Alexander Hamilton was who I said.
4) Not really.
5) I suppose one of the girls. I mean, you know.. I wouldn't know who to pick, though. Although, Wes & Fucko's drugs are certainly enticing. If my partner was bringing drugs then I'd bring food/water, and vice versa. I guess I'd prefer X, so it's the lame trendy drug, but fuck it's nice, and there's really no downside to it, imo. Although I've never tried acid, and I've recently been intrigued by it, kinda tempted to try it out. For food, I'd have to pick pizza. Can't ever go wrong with pizza. Spaghetti, too. And coffee ice cream. It rules. Drinks? Dr Pepper, for sure.

Oh my god. That guy is my favourite author (along with Chuck). That is really unfair. His music is just as cool as his books, but yeah...lucky you.

Speaking of Basketball Diaries, one have my friends is moving to New York, and she still has my copy of it! Grrr.

dr eveil rules . . .

Kitty - for some reason you have an English accent to me! it's the voice of one of someone i know of have on the radio/tv, and it's driving me insane because i can't remember for the life of me who it is - will come back to that.

The Kenster - to me, you speak like the American drama teacher in my school. i think he' from alabama, but he spent alot of time in the cuban part of miami (yeh this was news to me too). he doesn't really have a southern hillbilly accent, just a 'regular' american accent, which y'all probably don't know what it is since you guys can tell the difference between someone from florida, cali, etc.

the closest i can think of who i speak like that is famous is kate winslet, but that's only cuz she's from Reading (like me). im a tad more common.

[totally unrelated but:SnowWhite - you coming to reading fest this year?]

ive been sampling the *cough* illicit substances *uncough*, red wine and fine dutch cuisine ( also, not forgetting a fine lobster bisque ) that our fine city of Sydney has to offer.... oh yeah, and celebrating the death and re-birth of Christ Our Saviour as we do in Australia- by taking as many days off work as possible.

(no offense intented- just telling it like it is)

Maybe, I went last year, and the year before. But, I might be in New York. Otherwise, I will (if there are some decent bands.)

uh oh... ruby, or "rubes", you called me the kenster. you sweet talker, you! hehe
sometimes the covering up of accents seems so funny, but saying anything with I, like tire, is fucking hard for me.. it's something i have to work at and my friend byron... my mouth doesn't want to do good at pronouncing it the way it's suposed to be done... it's a frustrating thing that most people puss out on, here, so they say, for instance, "tire", like, tar, and byron, well, that's hard to spell out as fucked up as it sounds when most people say it..
it's hell, rubes, hell!!!!!!
rohan, i'm sorry that a dumb bitch from texan said something so fucking retarded... a german friend of mine said a lady once asked him if they had stars in germany. my god, i can't think of a better cue for a bitchslapping... then again, over a computer, it's hard to do.

2PK, i used to date this guy from georgia, and i think his accent made me break up with him. kidding. kinda. anyway, we went out for dinner once, and the waitress asked what kind of dressing he wanted on his salad and he goes "franch" (meaning french) and the waitress said, "what the hell is franch? do you mean ranch??"

really excellent lobster bisque actually has no lobster chuncks in it, rather the broth is intensely flavored by steeping lobster shells and other fruits de mer in awhite wine, boullion and a splash of cognac.

accents rule. accents i can imitate:

indian - think subcontinent
english
irish
scotch
german
french
spanish
southern
texan
jamaican

try calling me and the answering machine will be a different voice depending on my mood. btw, moe.ron, i would definitely dump a girl whose voice irritated me, whether it was the accent or not. for example, i could never date someone from state island. that accent is horribly unintelligent. everybody go out and rent my fair lady.

My fair lady was filmed around the corner from me.

no way! an excellent film. that snobbish henry higgin meeting the darling eliza doolittle. melts the heart.

I HATE it actually. It's the kind of film my dad goes on about, and then pretends he knows about movies.

that's ashame. i was being ironical, too, btw. still, some of the songs are fun.

i have a british accent? heaven fuckin forbid!! although coming from a brit i guess that's a compliment.

no offense to britons here, but when i went over there three years ago, i HATED every second of it. people were just so...argh. i kind of blended in physically--most of my ancestry is from the UK, and i wasn't tan or dressed like a total hobag like most of the american girls i was with. but no sooner did i open my mouth to order in a shop or a restaurant than people would literally recoil at how i sounded. then they'd be about three times as mean to me as they would have been if i'd clearly been american--i guess because i tricked them. i got into soooooo many retarded conversations with people who said things like, "over there they give you semiautomatic rifles over the counter with your cheeseburgers". so, i guess, the ignorance goes both ways.

actually the problem isn't that crime is so bad, or that too many people have guns, it's that we're better shots. americans know how to kill. e nuf sed.
