who the hell do you think i am?

babe....you were good..... but i was fantastic

so today i wanted to talk about modesty...........



im ONLY JOKING people......t'would be an oxymoron for me (a bloke without much modesty) to talk about such a straining subject..... so instead im going to talk about accents

accents define our area of living........ and people's perception of us (be that of our social status or class.....). they're subliminally quite important features of our personality's.

some of us love our accents whereas others dispise them. my own accent seems to be a combination of english and welsh, but seeing as i live in a valley with quite a soft welsh accent anyway, it seems to fit... this is compared to the harsher versions of the welsh accent from the rhymny valley (where every sylable sounds like a threat), or the north walien accent (where it sounds like everyone has swallowed their voice)

no matter where you're from though, you cant help but listen out for an accent. it identifies who you're talking to.......so, as you become familiar with accents of friends and family, on things like msn, you read things from them and imagine them saying it, in their voice (or is this just me?)

anyways.......recently, ive started talking to a few irish and scotish people on MSN. there's about 5 of them, and i've only actually met 2 of them......so, i can imagine the voice of two of them..... but the other 3.....clueless

i've concocted accents for them, based on display pics, language used, and stereotypical irish and scotish things i see:
problems with this:....... their display pics change daily, and therfore i make them sound posh 1 day, and (their equivalent) chav the next....
also, they seem to come up with new words every day for different things..... ie: 1 day they might be good, the next great, the next 'grand'.......
and finally.....all i can think of when working out these accents are either dara o'brien, or sir jackie stewart.....not exactly the crucial feminin i was looking for, but as close as ive got..

so.....worst case scenario for me is they either sound nothing like the voices i invisaged......or they sound EXACTLY like a middle age scotish/irish, quite chavy (yet quietly posh), bloke......


jolly good........ though for the day

do you do this? imagine people who are saying whatever it is they've written......ie, me reading this blog

lemmie know :P
