In awe of the wonderful people here,

Haha Bob - you can be real funny when you try!
I actually love American accents - except maybe NY/Brooklyn type ones (sorry to all who have them, but they sounds a little jarring to the ear), but my fav are those guys with Southern drawls, especially if they have a deepish voice - maybe we should all start making recordings...? So polite and so charming - I loved New Orleans
Sadly Bob, you are a Yankie, but it still sounds good to me - I have a horrible clipped Brit accent meshed with a little SA twang, not nearly so smooth on the ear.
Hey, Jack is from Carolina - maybe he has a great drawl?

My eyes aren't actually all that dark! They're more a blue/gray color. Just the lighting in that photo makes them look darker than normal ;).
I do have brown hair and quite dark other features (eyebrows/lashes), so in that respect I guess that's how I've avoided makeup for years. Which works well for me, because I'm a hippie girl when it comes to appearance.
I'm just happy as punch for the weather to be nice so I can wear my Birkenstocks honestly

Sorry to dissapoint you Ally, but I have no noticable accent. I grew up in deep South, Columbus Georgia to be exact but never had a heavy southern accent. How I missed it I do not know, maybe watching to much Walter Cronkite on the CBS Evening News growing up, but it probably has more to do with living in a military town and going to school with kids from all over the states.
Most people, when they try to guess, think I sound like someone from the Midwest, say around Chicago.
Personally, my favorite American accent is from the Texas Hill Country. Maybe Arti sounds llike that!
World wide, I'd have to say nothing sounds as good as a gal with an Austrialian accent. When I was in college, we had an exchange student at our school for a semster. Every time she spoke to me I just melted.

Nenu,
Know what you mean about to many other things to worry about. That's one of best things about having long hair. Just tie it back and get on with life. Think how much money you have saved on cosmetics and me on hair cuts.
You look really sweet in that last picture BTW, with that Mona Lisa smile.
You said it was warm enough in new Brunswick to wear you Birks without socks. What is it like up there now, in the lower 80's (F) here.
Take care,
Jack

Hi Guys
Nenu, you do look very dark in that pic, so if your eyes are actually a blue/grey then you are indeed blessed with great colouring. Love the hippie look - don't have th estyle sense for it myself, so I am just plain scruffy...Had a pic in my head of it being really cold where you live, guess I have to adjust that! We are still a bit unseasonally hot here (your equivilent of Nov - Southern Hemi) and the last few days it has been hitting 30C with high humidity - just when I thought I could get out my hot water bottles!
Jack, I am very disappointed, I was hearing the lovely voice in my head, but I guess I will get over it...
Agree about the long hair - my husband is always asking me to cut mine, and I refuse because, with 2 small kids and a life to live, it is much easier not to have to style it, just clip it up!
Shannon - I have to move on to you now that Jack has let me down (glad you had a great day, but you should know better about the sunburn!) - do you have a great Texas drawl? Greta's accent must be really cool too...
Anyway...check you later my

Deep voice and Texas draw, both. Sometimes I think I sound like a hick though.
The sunburn wasn't as bad as I thought it is already gone. Guess the whiskey helped the symptoms. HEHE I'm better. Being red headed I still seem to tan fairly well.
Greta I guess has been around me so long I don't notice her accent that much. I think all Texans have a different accent depending were you are. We live so close to Louisiana that alot of our dialect comes from there.
I would love to hear everyones voice. I find it interesting how people sound. The internet is great but hard to appreciate someones sounds through a keyboard and it often lacks the luster of how someone says something too. Sometimes I can be a bit of a smartass , but who would know the difference when you can't hear me.
Wouldn't it be great if we all could meet? I know this is just dreaming but wow what a good time we would have. Lots of laughing and story telling.

Some of my friends say I sound like Dr. Phil if that gives you any idea of how I sound. Personaly I don't like the guy but he's from Tx and I guess we do sound alot alike.

Ha Nenu thanks, but the cameraa does lie - there are so few pics of me because most of the clothes I wear are ful of holes, clash horribly (so I am told - can't see it myself) and would look better on a homeless person, so no-one wants me in their pics. My son took those pics especilly for the thread, and you can only see my face, so you can't tell.
I seriously spend my life in frayed shorts (I have several pairs), t-shirts with holes in them because they are so old (I hate shopping) - I even go to the grocery store barefoot. I do not and have never owned an 'evening or cocktail' frock in my whole life, and that is just how I like it - I am very comfortable with myself - as are you! Good stuff
If I absolutely have to look respectable for church or a meeting at my kids school, I will put on a pair of jeans or cotton pants depending on the weather - and I may wear sandles (my hubby just bought me a pair of Crocs - dead flat sandles, not clogs, and they feel very steady to walk in and are comfortable, so I would probably wear those).
