I feel all sci-fi-ish. When I was with Kin, I bought a half-headset (with only one ear-thinger) and a mic that's really a slender rod-thing that unfolds from the headset. It looks like I ought to be going "no, Operative, there's a platoon of marines headed your way, go back two meters and get in the air vent! Do you copy?"

And today I went to Skype, the program that lets you call for free all over the world from the computer.

And then I tested it OMFG DO I REALLY SOUND LIKE THAT. DDDDD: I sound all... preppy. And stuff. WTF NOOOOOOOOOOO. no phone sex career for me. sadness. This is so f*ing weird. And then I'll have to talk with Saro in english homg I'm gonna die, my spoken english is awful, I don't know how to pronounce half the words and somehow I can't remember the two thirds of my vocabulary when I have to say it anyway. Also gramer whut. *flails*

I'm SO not giving out my skype name in public. XD



edit oh my god we are the lamest losers who ever loserly lamed.

25 minutes. 25 minutes. And we said about ten words total and giggled nervously a lot.

Oh, and I made meep-ing noises.

looooooooooooooooooooose. I'm gonna go and dig up a hole to bury myself in now. X'D

And now I'm curious about what the great Asuka sounds like. ^_^

My voice sounds annoying over the phone/Internet. And I've been mistaken for a girl, several times.

Don't feel bad--th sounds are difficult (there are even native English speakers who can't pronounce them). Most languages kill them dead when they have the chance. And English pronunciation is complex and crazy (i.e. OMG unstressed vowel reduction. And unpredictable stress. And stuff).

If it's any consolation, my French pronunciation's probably just as horrible, and my vocabulary's definitely much, much worse. Il faut pratiquer de parler souvent, pour l'améliorer.
