I take it by the time this was uploaded you're somewhere in the States that's located in the Eastern time zone!
Wow, how have you met so many xangans?
And I love your "any three words you want"! XD
You dont have much of an accent but you have a very nice voice.
you don't have a greek accent AT ALL.:P:P
Dang, hiding your location. Who told you I was planning on stalking you?
You sound like you'd be a good dramatic announcer--throw in a little echo and make some grand pronouncements.
Nope.
you most definitely have an accent!! don't let anyone tell you different. I'd list the words you said weird, but I don't feel like listening again. I'm just gunna say it was the majority of them.
um, you haven't met me so you haven't met everyone.
I love your facial expressions throughout the whole video, aha.
ps, it took you FOUR HOURS to do this?! that's ridiculous. obviously I passed out long before this, lol.
you haven't met me. or My_Hat_is_older_than_you or NaitoofNarnia. So you should come meet us cuz we're all in the same town now.
LOL. My very favorite part "What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket?" "the chariot of..." LOL.
I laughed at your video far more than anyone else's. You, sir, are hilarious.
Plus, you could name drop with the best of 'em.
Ohhhhh, way to steal the words I call my grandparents!
AND JOHN, YOU HAVEN'T MET ME YET. I'M PROBABLY ONE OF THE ONLY ONES. Add me to your list! :p
awesome hahaha
You, sir, are adorable. And you do have a very lovely voice
Can't view the video on my phone, but I'll be back...
Some Northern state maybe Pennsylvania or New York, If I didn't know the Greek part already I would have said I hear something European and you seem very careful in your pronunciation as if you're an English teacher or as if English is your second language (which you said is the case in the video). You made that very entertaining to watch.
LMAO @ the grocery ccart part
You pronounce some of your words surprisingly oddly
and you're right... it IS pop. thank you!
someday YOU WILL HAVE MET ME!
Pop? Really? I am surprised from where we met.
Greek Mighty King, I herein pronounce you, very lovable. You deserve riches and concubines.
Wizards are cooler because WIZARDS HAVE WANDS!
Definitely agree, it's pop. It's also a chariot, I'm not sure why you said you don't actually call it that xP
lies. you just didn't wanna talk to me!
hehe this is so cute!! I love this post!
nice! you do pronounce mayonnaise different lol!
@fromprivatetopublic - haha, see, I'm a weirdo. You should do the accent challenge too!
WHY AM I NOT SURPRISED YOU KNEW WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY! and of course I thought "those big wands" and then realized how it sounded, heh.
Made me smile!
@Romanticized - haha! thanks! You should try it too, I want to hear that Canadian accent of yours
@bittersweetreflections - :-p ahaha. Never! you know that can't be true.
@GrainsAndOats - haha I know, right? My noble chariot Excalibur can hold all the groceries in the land!
@Lost_In_Reverie -
@Emilythefairy - DREAM ON! I WILL BE FREEEEE haha. Someday, yes.
@steph843 - I KNOW! Btw, so sorry I wasn't around the other day on chat to give you my news. Lots of weird stuff lately. But I want to catch up, and we will, promise. Will send you a message about it all.
@epiginoskete - Did you ever return?!
@tsh44 - I love that you analyzed my accent
@TheInappropriateSkirt - AAAAAAAAHHHH SHE SAID I'M ADORABLE! (freaks out). :-p Ha, Chelsea, that's very sweet of you to say that. Warmed my heart.
Thanks for enjoying the video!
maybe one day I'll be there too.
@nimbusthedragon - Thanks Liz! Loved your accent video too
@xWaltzAlyssax - I know! tell me when you're going to Cedar Point. Someday we shall meet!
@methodElevated - Sadly I couldn't say MethodElevated on the list of people I've met.
@lanney - MWAHAHA your stalking plan is foiled! I win again! :-p
@IrisLoamsdownofDeephallow - ha, I do need to meet you all! so true.
@mypandabear - I travel a lot, it helps! But I don't think I ever get to Arkansas
@livexlovexlaughter - Thanks! You should do an accent video too!@cassie_and_the_muffins - thanks!
@GreekPhysique - Well you are!
lol so funny! I love the shopping cart part! I also didn't know how to say the GPOY acronym thing... So I kind of guessed XD
@GreekPhysique - :) I know. we have too much fun talking for you to not want to.
@GreekPhysique - I thought that's what we were supposed to do. Did I get it anywhere near right? Glad I made you smile
@GreekPhysique - Of course! I just have only been accessing Xanga lately through my iPhone, which doesn't have Flash and thus couldn't play the video. However, I'm on a PC at this moment and was entertained watching it. I recognized the traces of the Midwest, whether in accent or by the words Midwesterners use (for the record, I'm in the minority calling it "soda" around here). Fun stuff.
I enjoyed this.
I loved how confused you looked when you were reading the list of words, haha.
You say "pop"? Yessss. I was surprised about how you say a few of the words, though. Mayonnaise and caramel, for example. But who cares because you say pop!
