Bonny, I code-switch a lot depending on a person's accent. I go to a very much more Southern country voice when dealing w/ urban AND rural KC teens, a kinda Buffy voice with suburban teens, and a neutral/snotty intellectual voice on the phone and jerks.
All else is kinda intellectual Buffy with a small amount of snot. And a weird mix of British and Mexican slang. I called someone a bloody fucking pendejo once. It was road rage.
Shir and Nilly, stay safe, please.
Oh, and I chopped my hair yesterday. It's a EAR LENGTH center-parted red bob with some texture.
EAR-LENGTH, Hec! You should be proud.
Fay, the clicky link you requested: Donna beta-reading The Doctor's bad Angel/Spike fic. It's ridiculous, but very funny. (And no pics, but NSFW, I suppose it goes without saying.)
I found that via a rec from my new favorite Doctor Who fic writer. She goes by the_tenzo on LJ--do you know her? Seriously talented writer. I read fic rarely and seldom for the smut (I know, heresy), but she does character, story, AND smut beautifully. I've seen "real" literature written with far less grace. To get a sense of her work, read The One True Free Life, which picks up right at the end of season four with
the two doctors on the beach with Rose.
Pretty cool stuff. Her master fic list is behind the clickly link.
Enjoy!
Jeez Erin, I think we must be related!
Seriously. My vocal inflections are your vocal inflections. I've never met anyone else who does that.
Huh. Cool.

I switch depending on where I'm at without realizing it. Although, when I first spoke to Amy on the phone, she said I had a slight southern accent which surprised me, since I don't hear it.

Oh, yeah, constantly. The funniest is when I go from southern to little old yiddish lady in a matter of seconds.
I think maybe it has to do with liking words. I spent a night drinking with a bunch of Irish guys once and my accent was muy fucked up by 3 am. Kinda CeltoCornponetastic.
But vomiting in a gutter is COMPLETELY accentless!

"Ach, lassie, you spew like a Sassenach!"
It was more like "Aye, that's DISGOOSTIN! Here, have a hand, and can we be gettin you a taxi?"
