Hi! What is the furthest place you've received snail mail? And have you come across any cool postcard or envelope art?

yet the day has only just begun, unless you actually wake up early which is insane

are you erring or arring presently? i could make you ahh in awe if you like

How is it lazy? We can't be endlessly specific. Literally everything in our lives is, in one way or another, a generalization.

The only problem is when a generalization doesn't fit into the context of the conversation. Like, when we use a generalization that nobody cares about, such as people who enjoy driving bikes, even though it's generally not safe.

The first two are correct, which is a new record :D And the third one sounds funny as well, where is that from? :)

Handicapped people, like very old people, are allowed extenuations. :-P

Do you dislike generalisations?

I talk to them, of course. I hate shouting. Shouting is annoying and stupid. A person shouting, unless in humor, is a person who is emotionally unhealthy. And stupid.

I had to choose, when I decided to read this poem (and a few others, with it.) If I read it as a narration, then it wouldn't be displayed as a poem. After all, poems are meant to be sung! :-D Like in pubs! So, I saw how it's supposed to rhyme, and went for some rhythm.

I always talk to my pets, and to animals at large, but I'd never think of hosting animals with a story.

I'm having a lot of fun doing narration and poetry readings for Librivox, and for my blog. :-) Although I need to work on my tone and accents, it appears I have a rather pleasent bass voice.

Here's the latest poem I did, about Death. :P

Nope, never had anyone read to me. :(

That's the thing. Unless you already have familiarity with storytelling, not to mention a foreign language (English is my secondary), then having a professional narrator can be really useful.

Reminds me of a pic I saw, where kids volunteered to read stories to abandoned animals. :D

Yeah, a bad narrator, although rare for professional recordings, will ruin the story.

Most narrators are like storytellers. They make the story come to life in a way that I could not have done, by my own means. :=D Of course, imagination is rather subjective, but narrators are sensitive to key story elements.

I compare this to having a cool elder that tells you stories as a kid. :P Something I never had. It's a very human thing to do.

I enjoyed them all. On audiobook. The narrator is brilliant. I love that British accent! I enjoyed them endlessly.
