I’m still a little bit in shock, really.

November 16, 2009

So you know how when you wander around on the Interwebs, discovering bloggers and blogs, and seeing people all over Facebook and such and you’re all Hey! Check out that chick! and stuff? And while you’re doing that, you picture them in your head except not really because you’ve probably already seen their picture and so in your head you just imagine their voices and their gestures and stuff?

I’m completely disturbed at how off base I was about one of my blogger idols, Jenny Lawson aka the Bloggess. For some reason I thought – no lie – that she would have this sort of authoritative voice – not boomy, but just in-charge sounding – and Y’ALL. She totally does not. She’s got this tiny little girl voice that makes me want to put her in my pocket and carry her around, wig and all. No lie.

That said, I started thinking that maybe you all wonder what I sound like. Do I have a Southern accent? Do I say “y’all” and “um” a lot? The answers are YES and YES. Would you like to hear? Should I promise (this time with makeup and un-scary hair) to post a video here tomorrow? Or better yet, after a glass or 6 of wine TONIGHT?

    Isn’t that funny? My best friend in the whole wide world was someone I met through blogging. She’s from NV but still has this horrid Michigan accent that I didn’t expect the first time we talked. I was so frightened but couldn’t stop laughing! And she laughed because she said I didn’t sound like someone from Texas!

    Except for the y’all part. I say that, like, constantly. In fact, I caught myself saying “Y’allselves” to my students the other day! LOL!

    FWIW, I’d love to see a video of you and your wine!
