Talk to me, baby!

[tebtosca]

Hello my lovelies! The awesome samena brought to my attention this super fun VOICE MEME that was going on in the HP fandom (among others) and I thought it would be something that we would all enjoy in the SPN fandom! The show is still on hiatus this week, so what is a better substitute than listening to each other ramble on about it (and more importantly, ourselves), amirite?

The internet is an amazing place that has allowed us to communicate and share with each other, but there is just something about listening to someone else's voice and getting to know them through the things that make them unique. Cadence, accent, the amount of times someone says "UM" -- all of those things are a delightful way to appreciate the friends you already have and the friends you are hoping to make.

The instructions are super easy: record yourself answering the questions below the jump and then post it in the comments!

- What is your username, and where did you come up with it?

- Tell us where you are from and something about it

- When did you start watching SPN? When did you get into fandom?

- What is your favorite and least favorite episode?

- Pronounce the following words: Aunt, Route, Caramel, Syrup, Pajamas, Potato, Gif, J2, Kripke, Impala, Castiel, Lycanthropy, Croatoan, Wendigo, Exorcizamus Te, Jus in Bello, Malleus Maleficarum, Hunteri Heroici, Azazel, Abaddon, Enochian, Leviathan, Succubus, Crocotta, Rugaru, Pishtaco, Grand Canyon, Mr. Fizzles, your favorite bit of anatomy, and a dirty word of your choosing.

- Share something you love about your primary SPN ship. If you prefer, share something about your favorite character.

- Share a favorite story or piece of art/vid (with fandom/pairing/author) that you think everyone should read or view.

- What is your favorite SPN quote?

- If you they could shapeshift into any SPN character for a day, who would they be and why?

- Do you have a hobby outside of fandom?

- Anything else you'd like to add?

There are several ways to record. I used Vocaroo because it was easy and free and let you get both an embed code and direct link with a few easy clicks. That, however, does require some sort of microphone or recording device, as does Soundcloud. Your iPhone or other device might also have built in sound recorders that can work. There is also a way to make a recording via your phone on LJ if that's easier for you.

My recording is unrehearsed and stream of consciousness and sincere and dorky and utterly ME, so if you have ever wanted to get to know me, listen here! It's so long that it's practically a podcast but my enabler fiercelynormal assures me that my ramblings are very representative of my personality lol.

I'm positive mine will be the longest recording in this meme, so please don't feel like you need to ramble on as much as me. Or if you want to, go ahead and beat me! It doesn't matter how your voice sounds or if you aren't a native English speaker or if you have an accent -- this is fandom, we are all dorks here!

AND SPECIAL BONUS: JC'S BOYFRIEND'S RECORDING!



The key is to HAVE FUN and get to know each other, so let's get to it! Please feel free to pimp this out on your own journals -- the more the merrier!

Note: I would say that anyone being a dick in the comment section is going to get President Collins mpreg fic in reply, but I know that's an incentive for some of you dirty birds :P

ETA: LJ is sending random comments to spam, so if it happens to you don't worry! I'll unspam it as soon as I see it (I'm checking periodically)

LOVE YOU ALL IN ADVANCE! <3

JC I WANTED TO LET EVERYONE KNOW I HELLA SHIP YOU AND YOUR SISTER

ALSO I TRIED TO DO THIS FIVE TIMES WITH SOUNDCLOUD AND NOW I WISH I HAD JUST STARTED WITH VOCAROO, GODDAMN.


Online recording software >> (http://vocaroo.com)

[keep-waking-up.livejournal.com]

Swan Song all the way! *high-fives*

[cherie-morte.livejournal.com]

YOU ARE CORRECT AND MAY CONTINUE TO LIVE.

[fiercelynormal.livejournal.com]

D'awww I'm picturing little Cherie going to school dressed like Agent Scully <33

ANT!!! *runs away*

[cherie-morte.livejournal.com]

I WAS A TERRIBLE SCULLY MY COLORING IS ALL WRONG.

I CAN'T HEAR YOU.

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

YAY PERSEVERANCE!

OMG I am so curious as to what your horribly offensive Phantom username was now! AND BB!CHERIE!SCULLY IS MY FAVORITE VISUAL EVER!

"creepy incest pairing" *gigglesnort*

Pretty sure pishtacos were the fat sucking spa monsters, BUT WHAT THE FUCK IS A CROCOTTA? Is it like ricotta? CAN I EAT IT? I DO NOT UNDERSTAAAAAND?

I still need to read Hail Mary. /o\

BUT BUT BUT MOST OF ALL I LOVE YOU FOR YOUR 'JIF' PRONOUNCING WAYS!

[cherie-morte.livejournal.com]

Nooo, it was an Orlando Bloom username. I can't tell you. It's too terrible. *dramatically throws hand over forehead*

I am sooo glad to hear this, because I have not yet reached that episode in Season 9, so that perfectly explains why I do not know what a pishtaco is! BAM. My spotless record for knowing All Things Supernatural At Least For The Episodes I Have Watched remains untarnished.

Crocotta is the monster from Long Distance Phonecall who was pretending to be John and calling people and when Sam tells him the monster is a Crocotta Dean (or crocotta!Dean, as it turns out) is like, "What, is that a type of sandwich?" and I love that fucking line so so much.

YOU REALLY DO NEED TO READ HAIL MARY, OH GOD, NICK, YOU NEED IT SO MUCH IT WILL FIX EVERYTHING AND GLOW LIKE A BEACON OF PERFECTION AHHHH.

[yohkobennington.livejournal.com]

Omfg, you chose Coño as your dirty word. I'm laughing so fucking hard. It's the same for us, it's like Fuck, and I say it as much as I say fuck. That's awesome.

Well, then that day to shapeshift as Sam would be the Pilot, because Sam was just with Jess, and then he leaves for the weekend with Dean ;)


♥

[cherie-morte.livejournal.com]

IT IS THE BEST WORD. We like it so much that there's a store in Hialeah (which is a city right by Miami, where I grew up) called ño que barato!

NOT LYING:



:DDDDDD

[deceptivemirror.livejournal.com]

Sadly, when I read "aunt," I pronounce it correctly, but not when I say it. I know, I know. It's terrible, but it's true.

I love how you ramble. It's exactly how I thought you'd talk, considering your journal entries :D

[cherie-morte.livejournal.com]

ARE YOU TRYING TO IMPLY I RAMBLE A LOT?

LOL, J/K, I know I ramble. I'm Ramblin' On. ;)

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

You are so God damned impressive, lady. I swear.

(Remind me again which QB 'verse story I should start with?? I forgot all about it but the way you've just talked it up is making me CRAAAAVE it! And isn't Daunt the cat's pajamas? I love her to pieces. I have Hail Mary and Next Man Up on my Kindle right now.)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

it's this one - I just re-read it the other day.
It starts here - you can just follow it through. It's one of those fics that flows so you don't realise how long it is until you've done and look back at all those pages.... http://archiveofourown.org/works/281016

[cherie-morte.livejournal.com]

What is impressive about me other than my incredible ability to ramble, tho??? XD

Well, remember, Daunt and I DISAGREED ON THIS because I started with the first timestamp (All Wrapped Up in Him, Too) and read in chronological order but Daunt recommended reading in the order they posted (so starting with Next Man Up, then the before NMU timestamps, then the in-between timestamps, then Hail Mary, then the post-HM timestamp). SO SO SO SO EITHER OF THOSE ORDERS IS GOOD. IT IS JUST SO IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ IT ALL. *shoves it in your face*

[maichan.livejournal.com]

TL;DL

[counteragent.livejournal.com]

Phantom of the Opera! Haha.

Funny, you don't sound like I remember. It's so weird how memory works. I remember people with the wrong hair color all the time.

[firesign10.livejournal.com]

Ha, my experience was the opposite - I couldn't get Vocaroo, but soundcloud was fine!

Got a tab open with your name on it!

[dolnmoon.livejournal.com]

So glad that you finally got yourself recorded. <3

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Just thinking about the boys as dangerous (your point about Henriksen...) have you seen this vid?

THIRTY MINUTES, WOMAN?

[cassiopeia7.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow, you sound exactly like your emails and posts! XDDD

Your "aunt"/"ant" rant is CLASSIC. And I've only ever read "Hail Mary" -- there's more of that 'verse?

. . . but nary a mention of tentacles? *iz shocked*

[ash48.livejournal.com]

So YES! You sound exactly as I imagined you would! And not even the accent or anything, but all the little asides "so suck my dick"... "I'm right, you're wrong". OF COURSE!

And wow - every minute of S9?! How horrible for you (but I get it!).

And I listened to the QB verse and absolutely loved it. I didn't think I would because I know NOTHING about American football. Afterward I actually spent an afternoon You Tubing US football. It still doesn't make a heap of sense (all that stopping and starting!), but it helped me understand it a lot more.

Oh and *twirls you* Does that mean you actually like Luke Skywalker?! I thought I might have been the only one (bit like liking Sam I think...). He started off as an ugly ducking and grew into perfection!

Thanks for sharing (I also figured you'd be someone who likes talking! *g*)
xoxo

[tipsy-kitty.livejournal.com]

That is such a good point about Supernatural versus other fantasy worlds. I'd love to hang out in the Gryffindor common room and drink a butterbeer, but I've never really wanted to go to like, the roadhouse.

Also, I think I'm going to need a fic of this perfect day where Sam bangs Dean AND Jess :)

[secretlytodream.livejournal.com]

BUT THEY'RE BROTHERS

ahaha who could have known back then... :DDDD and omg you totally sound like you write your tweets/emails/posts! I CAN EVEN HEAR CAPSLOCK IN YOUR VOICE :DD

[sagetan.livejournal.com]

You sound so lovely! You sound just like I'd imagined, except your voice is a bit deeper than I expected. And I absolutely adore how much you swear, it's so cute and very Cherie XD

I did indeed crack up at the "creepy incest pairing" bit, oh how things change.

[siennavie.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, I hold the record for most fail attempts at a recording :P

Hee! You fell quick to the brotherlove.
