I wanted to post some more audio clips of Viggo's poetry, but vegetariansushi said: Hey, you just have to post some clips of yourself reading your poems! And I squeed a bit but then said, no no I couldn't do that.
I talked to Silme, who said: Dude, you absolutely have to. Why not?

Yeah. Why not? So I recorded some. I recorded me reading my poems and then me reading some of my favorite Viggo poems. My voice sounds strange. I probably pronounce some words wrongly, but that's what happens if you use words you can write but hardly use in spoken language. Figures. That's so me.

I still think I have a funny voice. I wish it was ha-ha-funny, but it's just funny-funny.

But here you go, right-click-save. *facepalm*

Oh, my god. You have a beautiful voice! Those are fantastic, love. Also, just for the record, I can't didn't notice anything mispronounced, so you're clearly insane and vastly underestimating yourself. Oh, man. I've been sitting here for about ten minutes, listening to them on a cycle. Seriously, thank you so much. I'm not sure that you're understanding how much I love to listen to people speak, especially people with pretty voices, and double especial when said people with pretty voices are speaking poetry. This totally made my night. *kisses*

also, I owe you other comments, but i'm not sure that I'm going to get around to it tonight, as it's already six a.m. and the baby will be waking in a few hours and I feel like I should maybe try and sleep at some point, you know?

*eeeek*

You're making me blush. It's the first time I posted clips of myself, and I was kind of nervous (yeah, kind of, that's a huge understatement).

I was madly in love when this audio post thingy started and I could hear LJ people for the first time. I listened to every single post. I love to listen to people's voices. Oh, and don't get me started on accents!

You're too kind to me! *smooches* And eeeeep.

Go get some sleep, hon. I'll squee a bit over your lovely comments!

*kisses*

Oh, god. You have the cutest voice, love. I seriously have all those clips saved to my computer now. I'm going to try and make a playlist of people reading poetry, and I will be the happiest person ever for it.

I'm not at all kind, I'm actually fairly cynical and bitchy. But I like you, and you're clever, and have a pretty voice. So there.

[kohaku1977.livejournal.com]

Oh, mmm, a playlist of poetry readings. Nice. I might try that too.

And I like you too *grins* No really, but imagining you bitchy right now doesn't work for me. I can be bitchy sometimes too. But I see you as very kind and cute and lovable and beautiful!

My new goal is to get everyone on my flist to audio post themselves reading poetry, because how amazing would that be to have a CD of?

You're so nice, with the not being able to see me as a bitch. I assure you that I certainly can be, just not to people that I like. And I like you.

[kohaku1977.livejournal.com]

Awwww. *kisses*

And I so like your plan. Tell me what kind of poems you'll get! It's a great idea to make a CD. People who don't write can read their favorite poems. Speaking of which, I'm sitting here with poetry books. I asked my hubby, he will help me record some more poems! Woot! I already chose four books to read from. I didn't know I had so many favorite poems.

Get more people to read poems! I want to hear about the results!

[vegetariansushi.livejournal.com]

I think that I'm going to just put out a plea for people to read whatever they like, in whatever language they like, however long they like. And just see what happens.

Whee! Your hubby's nice. We like him. Tell him thanks for me, because I'm so so pleased about this.

[kohaku1977.livejournal.com]

He says you're very welcome. *pats him*

You have to keep me updated with your project! Because, mmm, read poetry and stuff.

*hugs*

[vegetariansushi.livejournal.com]

Aww, nice hubby.

If the project works, I'll eventually post a link to everyone who did it, and their soundfile and all that. Promise.

What a wonderful idea!!!

I love your voice ever since I know you
and now I can hear it all the time we don't see each other.
You have a beautiful voice.
I'm happy that finally someone other than me also thinks that you have a wonderful voice.
Thanks vegetariansushi
