i find it amusing that on this page of crack fanart advertisements for various airlines featuring tenipuri characters dressed in their colours, atobe kaidoh with remarkably atobe-ish hair represents finnair (possibly because the artist didn't think anyone else would be as believable swathed in a fur-trimmed coat).

wax_jism: well, that's some hobby.
me: i guess it takes all kinds.

kshdskjdhjdh I love how you just come up with these fic ideas out of nowhere. God. ♥ ♥ ♥

hahahhaha. öajdsöflj. the idea is the easy part.

...very true.

*kicks Word* Someone in Microsoft needs to invent a program that writes itself. Dictating straight to Word would be so much easier, not to mention faster. *grumps*

well, there are voice dictation programs. after you take quite a while to train them to recognise your voice and all, they actually get pretty accurate - although i don't know how optimised they are for irish accents... ;)

jshdjsadh I can imagine. I do have an accent, I've discovered after meeting a few of my flist, and I can recognise the lilt/brogue in certain words, but it's not very strong. I don't have a Cork - county or city - accent at all, much to many people's surpise, since I've lived in Cork my entire life, but I use a lot of Cork phrases (putting "like" at the end of a sentence for no reason at all, for example). It took me years to forcibly pronounce the gs at the end of words, too. I pick up accents very easily, though - I prounounce an awful lot of things with a Japanese accent from watching too much anime too. Case in point: I pronouce Abel with a Japanese accent from watching Trinity Blood too many times, and when I was talking about it with a few people from college, they were all, "... Who?" That was sort of embarrassing. -_-;

It could be worse: I could have a Dublin or Northern Ireland accent, two accents I loathe and which make me twitch. And, yes, going to Dublin when the voices of a good chunk of the population will drive me batshit insane is fine logic, I know.

Um. Sorry for the rambling. I think I talk too fast for voice dictation anyway. :D

And. Hmmm. I'm working on your fic right now, and I'm all gleeful and excited. ♥

heeeeeee. my dad writes a lot so, now that he can't type, he has to use a voice dictation program to operate windows. he has a pretty standard, tv-like american accent, no strong regionalisms, and he speaks clearly for most things, which is optimal for dragon naturally speaking (the leading program in the field of voice recognition). but we had a family friend from minnesota, and i imagine you know what they sound like - he tried to use the same program and it couldn't decipher his accent, so he ended up with an 80% error rate. as you can imagine, next to useless.

and please ramble as much as you want about accents! there's a little kernel of frustrated linguist in me that never got to study much linguistics and i find it fascinating. i don't know much about the irish accent though. i keep getting it confused with scottish and welsh which makes wax, who spent six months in ireland when she was a teenager, very impatient. :) you'll probably get used to the dublin accent though. i spent six months in texas, and i used to think i hated the accent, but i did mostly get used to it. and i even learned to appreciate the deep south accent from alabama where i grew up (which as a child i also loathed).

i was trying to work on my band of princes fic but then i was um. writing crack telepathic tezuryo drabbles for aja instead. :? i am so excited about this mystery fic you're writing for me! even though i kind of feel that i am undeserving. i mean. ♥! ♥♥♥♥
