I had an American think I was Irish when I spoke over ventrillo once, I wish I had played along now and just told them what happens in Father Ted was my life.
But you're from up north. You practically do the same things anyway. Hard drinking, swearing and tea addiction.
This is true!
Wiet you accent is very hard to place though, only when you speak quickly does the Dutch appear.
Really? First time I've heard that too!
I'm actually pretty self-concious about my voice. I occasionally hear an echo of myself during voicechat, finding out I sound differently than what I thought I sounded like is really weird.

Ah, don't worry, sounds fine to me. I don't like my voice much either, not many people do!

I just remembered a being nice story that is closely related to Pooro's story that spawned all this.
I had a roommate in college whose parents were conservative first generation Chinese Americans. He was gay.
We were in an eight person suite with 4 bedrooms, all full. He and I shared one of them. The social climate in that suite was essentially SE++. Homoeroticism out the ass (tee hee) 24/7. My roommate was the only one that was actually gay. When he and I moved out to different apartments, he thanked me for being a good friend and told me that I had "made him more gay." He told me that, while he was out to other gay people he knew, he had never been comfortable being openly gay until he had started hanging out with me.
Here are some things I learned about him that significantly heightened the impact of this:
- His parents always sort of knew and were clearly ashamed. They compared him to his older, successful, straight sister in everything.
- He attempted to commit suicide twice as a teenager
- He had a string of roommates before me, all of which had the school transfer them to a different dorm after learning he was gay
My contribution in no way makes up for all the bullshit he's had to deal with in his life, but it sure did make me feel good to hear it from him. All I had to do to make a difference was be a decent human being instead of a complete piece of shit.
I pay into the karma bank whenever I can. I hold doors, reach things on high shelves for people at the supermarket or other store and always treat service employees with courtesy and kindness.
Two years ago on New Year's day I skidded my car over some black ice and ended up with my vehicle wedged on top of a stone wall in the freezing rain and hail. All I had to wear was my work uniform (a dress shirt, vest and dress pants and shoes) and an old winter jacket that was soaking through. A couple of guys across the street let me hang out in their house while AAA repeatedly lied to me about a tow truck being there "in about 30 minutes". The guys, whom I had never met before, let me stay in their house while they left to go to work. It is hard to imagine leaving some random stranger in your home unsupervised. I was very grateful and to thank them I left a $20 Dunkin Donuts giftcard on the coffee table with a thank-you note before the truck finally came and dragged my Buick down from the wall.

Karl, I know a very short lady who hates getting help with anything because people constantly assume she needs help.
I've known several overweight teenage girls that constantly have a look of barely contained, smouldering rage on their faces for reasons that are easy to surmise.
What I'm saying is, sometimes people are broken because of other people. It doesn't make antisocial behavior ok, but it does make it more sympathetic.
This was a little thing but when I was visiting family in Arkansas I had some food poisoning, complete with upset stomach and everything. Now, usually drinking sprite or 7up helps my stomach feel better, dunno why. My grandmom and granddad were out and about and stopped somewhere to pick up a can of sprite, but the place they went to didn't have any. But apparently they guy they talked to went ahead and just took a can out of a six pack and gave it to them.
The moral of Bab-Beat's and Liiya's stories is that british people lie.
I told some people at PAX that my name was 'Viceroy' thanks to a British family tradition and they should call me 'Roy' for short.
The worst part was that of the 4 other people in the room, 3 of us believed it, but he told the 4th who, for some reason, never questioned our calling him "Roy."

This girl I knew in college was born without hands. She kinda had Winnie the Pooh nubs on the end of her wrists so she could manipulate most things just fine. She even used forks and knives by holding them in her "wrist" even if she couldn't get a great grip on them.
She was taking illustration as her major.
Insanely inspirational girl. Just don't call her disabled or pick something up for her when she drops it or you might set her off. She hated people assuming she needed help with anything. I once had an argument when she snapped at me for using a descriptor like "disabled" or "handicapped" or something. I apologized and tried to find a correct term. All I was doing was digging my hole deeper and she knows karate so I was happy when she let it slide.
She owned a Playstation 2, though. Which I could never figure out. I think she only used it for DDR.

When I heard this I had to ask if his name was really Roy because hey maybe he was using his real name as part of the joke.

What about Hong Kong

She yelled at me for assuming that she couldn't open the door herself because she was a girl.
Women, am i right?
You know what i'm saying.

But I guess its a trueism that people don't like hearing their own voice
oh, so you'll tell the truth?
Really take it for granted that I don't have crappy parents
Yes. Or will I? Because we both lie... its like a riddle!
It makes learning how to sing a right bitch, let me tell you.

You're totally right about women, though.

Thought that was pretty cool.

oh so it would be more accurate in america to say we were running a line on your mother last night
Oh. I played this once during a free weekend. That's really it.
Snap.
Its kinda fun. I say about two words.
"eee, bygum."

I know, I was just responding to the part where Wiet felt self-conscious when he caught echoes of his own voice from someone else's voicecomm
I'll be waiting.;-)

Langly was telling me stuff.
''Oh, sorry!''
You should speak up more! And play more or something, I never see you online on steam.
Crap. Is this a thing now?
