Something about my voice is... distinctive? I need to listen more to say exactly what it is.

You sound a lot like my best childhood friend's husband, as I mentioned when you called on my birthday. It is distinctive, but not quite a one-in-a-million voice like Casey Kasem or Sterling Holloway. It's more like, one in a hundred thousand. There's something in the tambre that has, I think, a little more vibration than most. It's not a deep baritone like Thurl Ravenscroft, but it has a similarly rich quality at a higher pitch. (Higher than Thurl; still slightly deeper than average.)

Pedro has a deeper-than-average voice, but it is very soft and has very little resonance. If it were a can of paint, it would be a matte finish, whereas inev's would be satin and Ravenscroft's would be glossy. Pedro's carries like a motherfucker, though; when he calls the kids inside you can hear him across the whole neighborhood.

I hate the way I sound in recordings or over the phone. I deliberately drop my voice when making a business call because otherwise I think I sound too young. (Like, prepubescent young.) Inside my head, I have a beautiful husky contralto with soft vowels and sharp consonants. It's so disappointing when I actually open my mouth.

These are the things I think about. Perhaps I have Issues.

Today, my GF's parents got into town. I offered several times to give her directions to good restaurants, and she kept saying that that was silly, her parents would look up directions on their car GPS. Eventually I gave up.
I say hi to them when they show up, her mom gives me a weird hug that I didn't know how to respond to, they leave to walk to her dorm. 3 minutes later I get a call-- the GPS is broken, could I please tell them how to get to X restaurant?

for some reason this makes me feel like Asherdan.

(secret: the one place she wanted to go was the one place I couldn't remember how to get to, but I did an iPhone-TV-ad worthy trick where I looked it up on google maps while still on the phone with her. Would have been able to drive there, but forgot the name of the street.)

Better get used to it.

She grabby?

[theinevitable]

They were on the other side of a fence. Before we figured out where the gate was, my girlfriend gave her mom a hug through the fence. And then her mom gestured that she wanted to hug me through the fence. I had never hugged her before. It just caught me off guard. I guess this means they like me?

Today I'm gonna clean out the mother fuck*ng basement with the husband.  It's been two years of build up down there.  We are starting to look like mini hoarders.  Holy shit.

We have a lot of sale worthy stuff, so I'm thinking witty ads with photos on the local used stuff for sale sites are in order.  Fun!

Specifically, I said your voice is comparable to satin finish interior latex paint. Take that however you like.

I think I've been spending too much time in Home Depot lately.

You're not going to want him to talk in the kitchen.  With that finish it won't really be scrub-able.
