So in my last post I brought up Yoda... which reminded me of another odd question I have posed before. At work one day we were talking about interviews I think, or hope, you see it wouldn't be unusual for me to be totally off topic. Anyways, we were discussing interviews or weird interview questions and I began to wonder what people would do if they were asked to call whoever was training them Yoda while they were being trained. It's a legit question.
Would you though? I totally would... well depending on how creepy they were. :)

Voices...
Hello... I have a question for anyone reading this. First things first - read the following few lines in your head;
Scottish Terrier.
Hello Governor.
Very intelligent you are.
You betcha!
Ok. So my question is when you read these in your head how do they sound? Do they just sound like you saying the words? Or does each of them sound different? I ask because in my head - this may sound weird but it's not... it just makes things more interesting - in my head they sound like... well, how to say this without actually being able to say it...
Let's start with Hello Governor, in my head it sounds like I am saying it but with a really good English accent, like 'ello govna!
Scottish Terrier of course is me with a Scottish accent, not as good as the English accent but still.
Very intelligent you are sounds like Yoda. Who else would it sound like? Although when I actually try to say it out loud its more Muppet.
Lastly, You betcha! comes across Ya youu betcha... with a Minnesotan accent. While they claim they don't have it some people do... I try to because I think it is awesome but it comes across Sarah Palin-y sometimes. Although I would like to clear something up since I am from the Midwest and went to school in Fargo... it is not like the movie Fargo, as much as I would like it to be minus the murdering and wood chipper.
Anyway I am rambling. Nice chatting with you world.

Hello!
I am considered by many to be weird, whatever, I am pretty fond of myself. I have a really unique way of looking at things and if that is considered weird so be it. But for the record, I prefer eccentric... or quirky. Some people think it is funny but some people are embarrassed to be seen with me "more than sometimes," I would have preferred that they be embarrassed to be seen with me less than all the time, it just sounds a little less harsh than the former. I have a coworker who has been insisting I start a blog documenting some of the things I say or the things that happen to me, so here we are.
