Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Working in a Jewish high school has me spouting random bits of badly pronounced Hebrew frequently. I still can't say the "ch" sound correctly. I sound like such a lame WASP when I try
My Jewish neighbor's daughter is named Chen-li. My pronounciation of it always makes me cringe internally. I would love to be able to do it correctly--especially when I address her directly.
Yeah, it's swell that...mediocrity wins.
Go Team Mediocrity!

Oh, funnest part was walking the red carpet with ita, Kat, and Kristen. It was hilarious.
I would have sprinted across the red carpet but a) I thought that might have attracted more attention and b) new shoes.

When I'd spend the night at one friend's house, I'd get to go to hebrew school with her and her siblings. I was a source of great amusement with my attempts.

I think I just suck at all pronounciation in general. My Welsh friend laughed like a drain whenever I tried to say Llanelli--which is where he is from. It apparently has a "th" sound in there somewhere but I'm damned if I can find it.

Somewhere I heard an explanation on how to pronounce several different languages by varying the amount of phlegm in the back of one's throat....

Some intonations/accents I can do. Heck, I fooled a german 3 years after I last was fluent (got outed when I started using czech and then swearing in english.) I'm told my spanish and french accents were passable when I spoke them regularly around native speakers.
Of course, I can also sound whatever variety of southern or midwestern if I'm around those speakers long enough. Less talent, more impressionable.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
My AC just died. I resent that it should even matter at this time of the year.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Bon Bon, that sounds great.
Plei, something got here, but the post office wouldn't leave it, so I have to go get it tomorrow morning.
That sucks, amych.
Kristen, did you get your shirt?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Stopped by krav, realised I was having difficulty keeping my eyes open, picked up some paperwork, came home.
The Post Office isn't really delivering my mail. I had it put on hold from the 9th to the 17th, and I've gotten mail only one day this week. Which means a visit to their lovely offices tomorrow.
