I don't know if you're putting it on, but my goodness you are terribly RP aren't you??

p.s. i am too, hahaha.

[rionaleonhart]

I was trying to speak quite carefully for fear of being unintelligible, but that is indeed my natural accent. I am embarrassingly RP.

[timydamonkey.livejournal.com]

I concur with the above comment - very RP! You have a nice accent though. It reminds me a bit of picaropicara's - I don't know that many people fromv the south of England so it's not a particularly common accent to me. :D

My accent is a really odd mix of that of my town, some limited degree of RP, the accent of the town I went to college in, some scouse and now some mancunian due to university. It's a very weird combination. :D

Nice rhyming by the way! :p

[rionaleonhart]

Why, thank you!

[thrennion.livejournal.com]

Win!

[misskass.livejournal.com]

Oh your voice really is fancypants. You sound like I do when I affect an English accent. xD I love it really! ♥

[rionaleonhart]

I am slightly embarrassed by my fancypants voice. I can't help it!

[misskass.livejournal.com]

Don't be embarassed! I love an English accent, and one that's RP is that much more awesome.

[zeitheist.livejournal.com]

SHOCK AND AWE.

[amy-wolf.livejournal.com]

Aw! It's lovely! You have a magnificent voice, and are wonderfully impressive. You're like scary posh.

Also, hug tiem? Hugs seem good now. Partly because of life stuff (ants, among other things), partly because of your general awesomeness. Because you are awesome.

[rionaleonhart]

It is always hug tiem.

[bubbles-san.livejournal.com]

Waaaaaaaait, did you get a new hug icon? What happened to Jez and Richard? (also, why don't I have a hug icon? I should get one of those.)

[rionaleonhart]

Jeremy and Richard have transformed as if by magic into Squall Leonhart and Rinoa Heartilly, because I was feeling my lack of Final Fantasy VIII icons. (Richard, of course, is Rinoa.)

[dracothelizard.livejournal.com]

I DID love it really, how did you know?

Also: SUPERNATURAL PREMIERE TIME.

[picaropicara.livejournal.com]

O.O I second the RP accent comments, you sound how I used to before I started sponging up Devonshire twangs.

And yay, Seussian rhymes about a Seussian man

[amy-wolf.livejournal.com]

Riona would indeed do a poor job of being a telephone.

[rionaleonhart]

How'd I forget that this comment was here?
I can't believe my failure to respond.
Your rhyming skills are quite spectacular,
And took my glee to Saturn and beyond.
Apologies for not replying back
When a reply would not be overdue;
I wished to write a poem in response,
But nothing I could write compared with you.

[bubbles-san.livejournal.com]

I've always imagined your voice being much higher (possibly given how exitable you are) so it's very odd to put your real one next to the one in my head.

But I liked the verse. Laaaaahvly.

[rionaleonhart]

You're at least the fourth of my Internet friends to have said they expected a higher voice from me. I tend to imagine that everyone speaks with some sort of English accent, because through watching American television whilst living in England I've somehow developed the subconscious belief that English people are real people and Americans exist only on television, so it's always a bit startling when I listen to voice posts from the Americans on my flist.

[bubbles-san.livejournal.com]

I always imagine people with American accents, and then mentally berate myself for it. ("Silly Bubbles, she's from England/Ireland/Norway/Dutchland/Australia/Portugal/Canada/New York. She doesn't have an American accent.")

[saaski-moql.livejournal.com]

What's funny is that everyone I've ever talked to always say that they expected me to have a lower voice. Boo for me.

I don't know what RP is but sheesh Ms. Posh. Where in England are you from, exactly?

...It'd be cool if I existed only on television...

[amy-wolf.livejournal.com]

She is impressively posh. She just sounds like a staggeringly suave and competent person who I find myself ridiculously inclined to obey for no reason. The receptionist at work has a similar thing going on, which gets really funny, as she's generally supposed to get information on what to do from me.

[rionaleonhart]

who I find myself ridiculously inclined to obey for no reason.

Hmmm, I wonder why that could be?

[amy-wolf.livejournal.com]

Was this part of Tricks of the Mind? How to give yourself a voice that makes people want to obey you?

[saaski-moql.livejournal.com]

She just sounds like a staggeringly suave and competent person who I find myself ridiculously inclined to obey for no reason.

Obviously, if this is the case, then Riona's future is side-kicking it with Derren Brown.

[amy-wolf.livejournal.com]

If they team up, we're all doomed.

Especially Derren. He'll teach her all his tricks, then end up one day writhing on a pile of broken glass, with a plastic bag over his head, wondering why that's all he ever seems to do anymore.

And Riona will smile and go "Don't worry, Derren. I saw to it that your world domination plot went more-or-less according to plan. Keep going with the glass. I know how much you enjoy it."

[saaski-moql.livejournal.com]

...

That is the creepiest thing ever.

[rionaleonhart]

Don't be silly, amy_wolf. You know I would never do anything like that. Go to sleep.

[amy-wolf.livejournal.com]

I think your mind control only works on me if it's a voice post, or you're trying to prod me to write fic.

...don't use voice posts to prod me into writing fic, okay? Because I don't want to know how powerful your mind control would be then.

[rionaleonhart]

I am from London! There are a few different accents in London; mine (RP, standing for Received Pronunciation) betrays the fact that I am middle-class and privately educated. It also, according to my English Language seminars, makes people assume that I am competent and intelligent, but unfriendly and untrustworthy. Hooray!

[saaski-moql.livejournal.com]

Hooray!

Received Pronunciation huh? Interesting...

[saaski-moql.livejournal.com]

Also I am ridiculous and just realized that this was inspired partly by Yahtzee because of the limerick. I am so cool.

[adraekh.livejournal.com]

Whoa. Awesome verse. (Things I wish I could write: Poetry.)

You sound . . . different than what I'd imagined you'd sounded like in my head. Also, I completely forgot to add in your accent into my head-voice, so that was rather strange.

But I like your voice! *g*
