I have a theory about this. I found, (as a Brit in the US) that I had to repeat things I said - not because I spoke too quickly, but because the accent registered first and the listener was concentrating on the fact that this was something different, and not on what I was saying.

Yeah I have that problem a lot. I'm constantly having to ask some of my friends to repeat themselves because I get so wrapped up in their accents that I have trouble paying attention to what they are actually saying.

I'm sure it's quite annoying to them, but I don't mind at all.

I'm not sure about the rest of you, but I'm starting to worry that I can hear my own bones creaking more than the bed when I get up in the morning.

I think you are right mumsey. I have a couple of doctors with an English accent and I start listening to the accent and then remember I'm supposed to be putting the words in the computer.

I find hair dye a wonderful invention

You mean there are people out there who actually remember what their natural hair color is? I find it amusing when I go somewhere and someone makes a comment like 'Oh I really love the color of your hair' and I can respond with 'Why thank you. You can have it too, if you'd like. It's Clairol #26'. I've been going grey since I was 19 years old, so my hair color typically changes with the season.

I'm with you, Kat! I don't know what colour my hair is these days (and I don't think I want to, either!!). It was bright copper when I was a girl, then it turned darker towards a lighter brown/red and now? Well, at the MOMENT it's copper again. Last year it was deeper burnished red. I may go blonde in a month - who knows? It's getting long, also. I think I need to cut my bangs short again, haven't done that since, well a LONG time. Kinda scary! Lets all pick a date and change our hair colour, shall we? Heehee!

I actually can see my natural color for the first time in *years* (maybe since Junior high). It still has highlights though. When I saw my friend in Vegas that I only see once a year, she said that it was the first time she's seen me with 'normal hair color' heh. I used to get bored easily and change it every 8 weeks. I think I'll be sticking with the blonde highlights for a while though

mini, are you trying to go undercover, so no one will recognize you at Gabit

[minigeek]

Rats. You've foiled my Machiavellian plan!!! Now I'll just have to come up with another....

[dipsofjazz]

I have my fat quarter, but seem to have lost the address for sending it. I know it was posted somewhere in the thread, but I can't find it.

Can someone please repost it for me? I have my envelope and stamp all ready, but can't post it.
