tiamatladyThings are better from the other day. Welcome to Mood Swing Central. Now if only my internet woudl stay up and running at home, pretty sure it's the router, replacing it today.
But.
I had to share this
Article from the BBC about how all it takes to get ahead in America is a "British Accent"
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/6470095.stm
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Just for the record:
- pretty much spend my ENTIRE VISITS to England turned on. Even the dumb ugly people, when they open their mouths I go all gushy.
- the only thing BETTER than the British accent is the SCOTTISH one. *drools*
- equally as important - the AMERICAN accent surrounded by Brits (See Captain Jack in Torchwood, or John Barryman from that Castle thingy I saw on one of the DIY networks. That was SO FUCKING HOT.)
- I might be asking you to repeat yourself because the soft running tones of the accent I can't hear so well (heh - I guess years of headphone use IS an issue!) OR I might be asking you to repeat yourself because it's DEAD SEXY.
So, in short, it's damn well true, and you Brits better be USING THAT for GOOD, not EVIL.
(OK maybe a LITTLE evil. Dirty talk in that accent? Excuse me - I need a bit of alone time right now. I'm looking at YOU Kit and 'Tasha.)
And no, this is NOT an invitation to chat me up. My willpower is strong and I will resist. I'm giving you enough by saying it'll be HARDER.
Perhaps later I'll essay on the WHYS of this.
(PPS - most accents work on me this way. So Mr. Dead Sexy Puerto Rican man - feel the love. *grins*)

I think that bratwurst thing was more my Bawston accent, we were both wiped out by then and I was drawling at that point. There were no Rs ANYWHERE to be found! Butthead Germans, why couldn't he have been GOTHY and SEXY? Because then I would have invited him back for a bit of "language lessons" *evil grin*
(Yeah, when I'm not thinking about work, my thoughts are SO Xrated. and I have no time to deal with it *sighs*)
