✨Highlights and Bombshells💥

If you are in that waking up period- that first 15-30 min., can you get back to sleep if you try to?
Not really. I'm awake and ready to be moving, I'm just unpleasant (I know, how could that be, all us Canadians are so nice 😂).

If I'd been up last the night before, there is potential, but even then it depends.

Anyone else Team Pigeon?

I used to be a night owl.
I've never been any use first thing on a morning really. I try to sleep at a decent time but I'm not very good at it and because I usually have to be up early I'm normally wading through permanent brain fog.
I'm likely more of a Coffee-Fueled Crow..... an intelligent, resourceful creature that functions best with caffeine and sarcasm as their primary fuels :)
 
The voice threads are actually the best example of thread post FOMO for me. Sometimes I just don't have the privacy to listen and then there's so much to try and catch up with so I just gave up trying.
The voice threads do interest me, and I lurk in them occasionally.

It's always interesting to hear what people sound like. But I think people often have a different tone when they're saying something out loud, as opposed to writing. Has anyone else felt that?

Definitely. I think it's easier to be flirty or dirty in writing. If you hear yourself saying it out loud... that can be too real for an anonymous site.

I've experienced a few surprises https://media4.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExOXVsNHdnNjFrbmFjYW9lYmMwd3A0b3dnaHVrMmlraDN6NTBnOGcycyZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/QBXCS6WlxbShWfBnZF/giphy.gif

But I consider it more like discovering a new layer to that person...or like putting together another puzzle piece.

I agree. So much gets lost in translation when written out. It’s so helpful to hear their voice to get a more complete picture.

Or it can be awful…

“…ooh yeah baby, I can’t wait to kick your big clock…Duck you’re so ducking hot!”

*send*

Wait wait wait!!!

*dies*

Some surprises have been so pleasant, too. Somehow hearing some voices change my whole view of someone. It is a window into their personality.

Duck me! You’re such a dirty talker! 😘😂
 
Oh yes?

Yes, I know what you mean. You hear them differently.
Definitely. I think it's easier to be flirty or dirty in writing. If you hear yourself saying it out loud... that can be too real for an anonymous site.
It certainly feels different but...too real?

I guess we could just type and get AI to say it for us. Although I'm not sure how food a job it would do.

"Hey, Siri? Describe a facial."

One thing which interests me is how some people can record an extempore audio lasting twelve minutes, without any pauses or umms or errs, and with a perfectly coherent stream of logical thought expressed with charm and wit and eloquence. And then there are the rest of us.

And it isn't always who you'd necessarily think, judging from their written posts. Which is interesting in itself.

Or do people edit their Vocaroos?

Maybe? I’m sure some people do. Or record and delete, and then re-record. And then there are those people who just have that gift of gab and they are comfortable with that medium of communication. Or .. also maybe? It depends on the topic. I’m sure I could speak more eloquently about certain subjects than others.
 
Warning: Late night ramble

Enacting the Blonde Highlight mode to bring back this topic of friendships…
I had a conversation with a close friend looong ago, when I was in high school or thereabouts. One of those eye opening conversations that make you realize that you’re different from even your closest friends. We were discussing which qualities about ourselves we thought of first as our defining factors. I can’t remember everything that I said, but I remember the first thing was that I was feminine. My friend’s first defining attribute was that she was African American. We’d grown up together. Gone to elementary school together. Vacationed together. Cried together. Shared so many experiences and thought the same things were funny and scary and awful. But there were still differences and this was a peek into how she saw herself, and how she saw the world. And actually, how I saw it too.

…..

The friend that I spoke of here was someone I knew from elementary school on up throughout the rest of school. She was there for so many rites of passage, and through my best and worst times. She saw my good, the bad, and the ugly moments.

Thinking about her brought up so many memories of those few friends who I’ve ugly cried to or been able to be at my lowest, and they haven’t left my side. Sure maybe they have taken the space they needed for themselves, but I knew they still loved me and counted me as one of their people.

There are numerous professional development courses and workshops that one needs to attend when you’re a teacher. One of the first ones I attended was about recognizing signs in students when they are really in need of help socially; heading off problems like feelings of isolation or depression before they fester and become worse problems.

One of the speakers talked about how students didn’t need a bunch of friends. They didn’t need to be “popular”. All one needs to feel secure and safe, according to this child psychiatrist, was 1 consistent friend. That was it.

So what I’m taking forever to get at is, it’s sort of the same here. Most of the time, if people have a small, reliable circle of friends, or maybe even just one special person who will let you weep but still count you as a warrior, that’s all you need.

That’s what’s spinning in my head tonight for some reason. And I liked that quote. It’s way past my bedtime. G’night 💛

I think this is definitely true. I also think how well you know who you are talking to makes a difference, at least for me. I don't send my voice to many people here, but I would sound (and feel) far less confident in a voice note to someone I don't really know/haven't chatted with than I would someone I've been chatting with for years. And I certainly agree that the topic in which I'm chatting about would change that level of confidence, too.

My anxiety kicks in sometimes!

Do it. I do it often. Sometimes I even quote things from years ago just to see what reactions it brings🤷‍♂️
I’m not going to yellow highlight, because I want to get spanked.

But, this is a fun thing to do. Go back to a random page from years ago and see what all the strangers of Lit were talking about back in the olden times.

I particularly enjoy answering a question someone asked in 2006! 🤣

No no, you get the time out chair. You don’t get spanked.

I’m not sure. @AmberLGreen was hired as the acting punishment master, so she might just have something up her sleeve.
There are a lot of naughty fuckers on here so all the ropes are in use 😈. We might need to start using superglue or some really strong cum. Somebody probably has a supply in a sock somewhere. I am looking at my business partner @Lord Pmann here 🧐
