churlita: i guess most of us don’t like to hear our own voices. i do the explosive laugh that kind of terrifies people if they’re not ready for it.
vahid: awww, thanks! and omg – i totally forgot about old maid! that was the best – especially because we all got free drinks that night due to unsanitary ice. maybe i’ll just make a pact not to record my laugh and have to listen to it over and over and over again while i transcribe interviews…

What’s all this? Jenny, I ADORE your laugh. You know what makes me happy? When I think about how hard you laughed when you were about to introduce Dustin and I to our GIRRRRLLLFRIEEEEEND. Or last December when you laughed so hard over our game of Old Maid that you started crying and tried to salt the rim of your glass with your tears. Or laughing over “Dumpster Milk” just two months ago.
I could go on and on here. Keep laughing, mmkay?

I hate having to hear the sound of my own voice. Plus, I do that nervous laughter thing and it makes me sound like such an idiot. Maybe I should just record my voice, so you could listen to it and feel better about yourself.

don: heh. heh heh. zoom.
shari: gladly! when are you coming to chicago? well wait – we’re supposed to get about 10″ of snow tomorrow, so you might want to hold off a bit.
tracy lynn: interesting. i wouldn’t have pegged you as a cackler. but maybe we should both just embrace our animal laughs!
mad william: eventually, the pendulum will swing my way, and we’ll all be back to rotary dial phones and mimeograph machines.
cheryl: like that lily tomlin character? wait – can you say, “and that’s the truth, pbbbblttt!” for me?
derfina: no way – you have a parrot that mimics your laugh? okay, you totally win!

I HATE my laugh, and I have to listen to it all day, every day from my African Grey!

I like to pretend that all recording devices manipulate sound and that I don’t really talk like a five-year-old with a cold.

I have to agree with Dave2, except that, now, it’s all ball bearings.

Yeah, well, it turns out that I’m a cackler. That’s right, I CACKLE.

Yeah, well, unicorns are a kind of horse y’know.
Also, I believe that there is disagreement about your laughter, wherein you aver it’s objectionable, and everyone else maintains that it’s perfect. Which… >i>obviously requires another in-person meeting so we can all clearly re-evaluate the sound of your laughter, just to be safe. The decision of the Committee will be final and binding.
