She has a wild and cantankerous personality that in a nice and humorous way seems to fit you.

What am I going to say? This is all in my mind. Just imaginings of my mind.

I have to "hear" words in my head as I read.

When I encounter River in Chat, he sounds like a fun person in my head.

When I read him here, his voice is less fun.

I would rather not see real images of members. Scary! And then lookism infiltrates how I digest <burb> their uploads meanings.

Consider Moi's avatar. The government says it is safe but people do not want to live near the "radiation" or EMF or any cosmic effect of high power lines. They devalue a nearby property. Yet people are so accepting of living a few hundred feet of cell towers and their horizontally facing dishes. And also holding a source of synchronized frequency against their head. Ear piece based on electromagnetic diaphragm movement are just as bad. In the day, that magnet was a few important inch or two away from the brain, not screwed in the ear canal.

My avatar expresses me and my independent take on all things, except EA rules.

Interesting. What's my voice like?

Okay don't judge me, but I have to go with Sandra Bernhard. A sultry voice, you just want to crawl into bed listening to, and sometimes a little over the top, often very funny. I especially hear it when you're taking someone to task for being inconsiderate.

I probably watch too many movies.

And how would the voices of those who have avatars that are not photos?

It takes me a little while, but I usually start to hear the voice after reading a few posts, and getting a sense of the person. The Avatar can add something to the personality, but not always. For example, even though I know Moi is a guy, and his avatar is Alfred E. Newman, I hear the voice of Kathy Bates (less Misery, more of The Unsinkable Molly Brown in Titanic.)

Oh, dear. Moi's not going to like that little admission... I meant Morgan Freeman... That's it! Moi sounds like Morgan Freeman... Anyone, wanna back me up on that?

I'm gonna get in trouble for this, I just know it.

Moi sounds like Kathy Bates? I love it! Fantastic.

I don't know if you will get into trouble or not, but somehow I don't think that this one will be forgotten quickly.

im just old enough to know who bette midler is, but boy sandra bernhard completely passes over my head.

I should probably be thankful nobody said Fran Drescher.

Moi sounds like Elmer Fudd in my head I think, but more drawn out, sounding slurred and stoned.

She's an American comedian. She's been in a huge amount of TV, and has been doing comedy specials for quite a while. The only movie you might remember her from is the Bruce Willis bomb "Hudson Hawk". She was a regular character on the TV show "The L Word".

Sorry. I guess she's only famous in my mind. She does have a very distinctive voice, though.

Here's a Youtube video of her http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0qWjqW4Pkw

You might not enjoy her comedy, but at least you'll know who I'm talking about.

I don't really watch L Word. Oh dear now I just sound too old like I've not been keeping up with pop culture. Hmm

[cronoserge (imported)]

i have to be the only straight guy who watches the l word, which is odd considering what its about.
