My First Vlog! Word Meme

I’ve never done one of these before, but I saw it on The Wifey’s blog and thought it was a pretty cool idea to hear different people’s accents. We spend so much time reading each other’s words…sometimes it’s a little bizarre to me to know your voices so well without ever having actually heard your voice, you know? 


As a disclaimer, I’m still in my PJs on the couch, I haven’t showered, the camera is at a weird angle that threw my body into darkness, and I’m pretty damn hungover with last night’s makeup still on. I guess this is the “real” me though. LOL. Enjoy. 🙂

  1. I loved hearing your voice!!!!! And that is so funny how you say words differently. My husband and I say different things, too, and we grew up in different states. So funny. 🙂

  2. Yay! It was great to watch you in action. Even hungover your still pretty and have the whitest teeth!

  3. You talk like me…for the most part.H is from Colorado and the funniest thing people from Colorado say is Porkey-pine instead of pork-u-pine. I think I'll give a Vlog a shot later today.

  4. SUCH A COOL IDEA! You definitely have an accent to me…Probably half those words I would say differently. I love it. I think I might do this!ps – still working on those flights…

  5. Love this! 🙂

  6. I just realized the webcam contrast was dialed up super high, hence the harsh crappy unforgiving look to the lighting and really dark looking under eye circles. LOL. Ah well. I'll do another one someday when I've actually showered and gotten prettied up. 🙂

  7. BOOORING. 😉 Everything is just like I would say EXCEPT when its raining and the sun is shining I've always yelled "Its raining sunshine" but maybe that's me and not a minnesotan thing. LOVE LIVE POP! And duck duck gray duck of course!

  8. *LONG LIVE POP. Oops

  9. duck duck grey duck – ALL THE WAY. I didn't even know other people said goose until I was in college!

  10. How fun! I'll have to do this tomorrow and you can see if I talk like a true Texan. 🙂

  11. That was awesome! I grew up saying sneakers which you think is weird and I think tennis shoes is weird. hahaha – at least we appreciate each others' differences 🙂

  12. Very fun! I would not have pegged you as a Minnesotan just when you're talking. I can only hear it with a few of the words (like route).

  13. So fun Josey! I would love to do this – will have to see if I can get a good video to give it a try 🙂

  14. so fun! Our midwestern accents are very similar. except for mayonaise, i think I say that slightly differently.I'm too lazy and too much of a pansy to tape myself..I hate the sound of my own voice!

  15. That is so hilarious! I'm going to try and join in the fun tonight! How fun!:)
