Voice posts are fun, right? You get to hear funny accents if your friends are from far, far away. All we really want is to hear your voice, we don't care what you're saying. So here's a list of typical meme questions that would otherwise be boring, but when communicated aloud - well, it's entertaining. Answer these questions in your post, and encourage others with voice-posting abilities to do the same.

1) What's your name?
2) How old are you?
3) Where are you from? Are you living there right now?
4) Is it cold where you are?
5) What's the time?
6) What are you wearing?
7) What was the last thing you listened to?
8) What was the last thing you ate?
9) What was the last thing you watched on tv?
10) What's your favorite tv show? Why?
11) Quick! Find a book, or something with text on it! Flip to a random page and read some of it! GO!
12) What was the last movie you saw? How was it?
13) Do YOU think you have an accent? Talk about that.

The girls over at Book Binge have a meme going on. It's a contest to win an ebookwise, but what with the whole blindness thang, that won't do me any good. That being said, I do lurve me some sreevays, so here we go.

These are the top one-hundred-six books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing’s
users. Bold those you've read. Italicize those you started but couldn't, didn't or
haven't finished. Strike through those you despise. Put an asterisk next to those
you've read more than once. Underline those in the TBR pile.

So what we learn from this? Man, is Shannon going to have fun when she takes manditory lit classes later on in her college career.

This isn't book related, but hell, I like these things. Yoinked from singeruvsongs, who I should mention knowing when he was the most adorable little boy ever. Now he's grown into an intelligent, articulate young man who I can't wait to get to know better. (Not *that* way, you pervs!)

--Pick a song everyone knows
--Take the lyrics to babelfish (

) and translate English to German to French to English.

I actually reversed. I translated from English to French to German to English. And I don't know if you all know this, but I figured it wasn't obscure.

The water is broad. I cannot cross the o ' it. And neither one nor have the other
wing I to give to fly me a ship, which can carry two. And all two become rudders
my love and I.

I finally got posting by email to work on this damn thing. This makes me a
very excited little monkey.

Your Birthdate: January 19

Your birth on the 19th day of the month adds a tone of independence and extra energy to your life path. But at the same time, it poses a number of obstacles to overcome before you are able to be as independent as you would like. The number 1 energy suggests more executive ability and leadership qualities than your path may have indicated. A birthday on the 19th of any month gives greater will power and self-confidence, and very often a rather original approach. However, a somewhat self-centered approach to life that may be in conflict with some of the other influences in your life. This 1 energy may diminish your ability and desire to handle details, preferring instead to paint with a broad brush. You are sensitive, but your feeling stay somewhat repressed. You have a compelling manner that can be dominating in many situations. You do not tend to follow convention or take advice very well. Consequently, you tend to learn through experience; sometimes hard experiences. The 19/1 is a loner number and you may experience feelings of being alone even if you are married. You may take on a tendency to be nervous and angry.

Well, I'm not sure if I quite buy all of it, but it's sort of interesting.
