Ladies, gentlemen, labratory experiments, I have recieved some bad news as of last night. My aunt has ovarian cancer. Luckily they caught it early and it will be relativly easy to treat, but this is the thrid time they have found cancer in her.
Now with something like this I would usually feel sad, but for some reason I can't help but feel angry. She lives near a river down in Florida and a power plant uses part of the river for cooling and I can't help but feel that they are using it for dumping of chemicals. I know this sounds a lot like A Civil Action, which wasn't a bad movie actually, but I've done research on this and there is some seriously strong evidence of the same going on in other parts of the country. I told her sons, my cousins, to tell her to get someone to test the river and their soil for chemicals and hopefully it will happen.
But really through this all, I just hope she will turn out okay.

Hope things go well with her. I'm sorry to hear that she has had to go through this not one, but three times so far
Actually it's for Filipino class... and Poring happens to be one of my best friends both in High School and in College. He's my seatmate actually... I forgot that he mentioned something about this to me.
Well, yeah, I looked at his thread, but I want to have different people saying different things... because we might be considered cheating and all... and I don't want him or me to get in trouble.
EDIT: I found my own research, so thanks anyway for those who wanted to help. Anyway, I'll be seeing ya when I see ya... till next time.
EDIT 2: And I'll appreciate it that you do not link this to his thread... He might think I'm copying him or something... and I don't want that... woo I'm getting paranoid... Must get some sleep... but I can't... have to work have to work... hahahaha *going crazy*
Hey everyone, I just woke up a few hours ago, and soon I think I will eat lunch.
I'll let you all know when I decide to do something else, but for now I just thought I would say hi!
Hi Coffeehouse!!! :D:D:D

As much as I would like to poke fun and run, it would be insensitive to ignore this. First of all, I'm sorry to hear this, but it's fortunate that they caught it early. It seems as though your aunt is a tough person, if she has managed to fight it off on multiple occasions. Secondly, I really would be concerned about the fact that there could be an environmental factor contributing to it, and I would heavily encourage your aunt and others in her community to begin looking into it. If it is as you suspect, it could be affecting the health of not only her, but everyone around her, and others may not be so lucky. It really is up to a community to ensure that companies within their community take responsibility for their actions, particularly if those actions could be compromising the health and safety of those around them.
OMG Pohton I'm totally riveted. Plz keep us updated on what you ate for lunch. It'svery important!
You're sexy when you egg me on.
Anyway, look guys- a shiny new topic-
Voices: Are you comfortable with your own voice? Do you tend to imagine people in the Coffeehouse having a certain kind of voice, and if you find out otherwise, does it surprise you to hear that they don't sound like you imagine? Do you tend to see certain vocal qualities as signs of certain personality traits, or not?

I really, really strongly dislike my own voice. I feel like I got the worst of my mom's Wisconsin accent and my dad's Bronx accent. I sound sarcastic and condescending all of the time, even when I'm trying to be sincere. I've actually consciously worked on my voice for a little while, and I think it's getting better. Still, if there were one physical thing I could change about myself, it would still be my voice. I also 'do voices' enough that I barely have a natural voice.
Here's what I sound like, trying to affect as little as possible.

Aha, so THAT is the sound of a Joyd in the wild! I have to admit, it sounds a bit like I expected- perhaps a bit deeper than I would have guessed, but the inflection is there.
I don't think your voice sounds bad at all. You don't sound sarcastic in as much as you sound deadpan to me.
This will probably come as no surprise, but I usually am pretty confidant with my own voice, although I cannot sing to save a life. I do sometimes get a little self conscious about my own voice, because I'm afraid of coming across as sounding too gay- my voice isn't as deep as I would like it, either, but it's not exactly feminine. Still, my voice is fairly flexible, and I can do a lot of different voices if need be, and often do.
If I could find my microphone, I would give you all a sample, but it looks like that isn't happening.

Well, I've been talking with Lilly, and she, well, is ultra-sensitive about how she sounds, but to be honest, she sounds great for a transgirl of her age.
As for me, if you haven't already, just watch this.
Made it a while ago for the c-house.
As far as being shocked/disappointed that people don't sound like what I thought they would, that's natural I suppose. It's even more surprising to see what someone looks like and notice that they're not what you expected.
Evan: Hope your aunt gets proper treatment--and yes, go, go on, sue those bastards.

Simply put, my voice sucks. I don't really like it that much. It's kinda a high at times but there are times when its far lower than normal for no apparent reason. On top of that, I must have a really odd voice since it actually sounds higher to me than it actually is (I'm pretty sure I was taught that our voices sound lower to us than they are). I'd give a sample but finding a place to store the sample isn't easy for me...
Edit: Evan: Here's to hoping your aunt has a smooth treatment - as for going all Erin Brokovich on em - you go ep!
If anyone wants to send me a voice sample, I will be more than happy to host it on my website.
This is why I want some sort of audio-chat program for the Coffeehouse. Ever since Lilly brought it up, I've kinda been wanting an online audio-forum for us to just chat about stuff, even if it would be awkward at first. It would never really override all this posting nonsense though.
Check out my wonderful voice here. I hope its as wonderful as I think it is.
Note: You're all probably gonna have to turn up the volume a bit. My software is set for max volume from the mic and the headset has no volume control so I guess my sound card sucks or something...

Um, wow. Totally different than I expected. You sound familiar to me for some reason. Still, not bad. It isn't a bad voice by any means- kinda cute, actually.

Hi everyone, i keep wanting to write and say im back but i never seem to find the way to say it...
Its been a harsh couple of weeks... family is getting over what i did and i have been trying to steer away from trouble as much as possible to prove to them i mean it when i say im sorry... anyways i have been trying to keep up with the topics here but i just never found anytime where i felt good enough to post again.
I've lately been going through some depressing moments... nothing bad i just feel down every now and then and i start to question things a lot... i realized i screwed up a lot of things in my life and i keep reliving them over and over and it kinda depresses me coz i see it affects my family, specially my wife and the way I interact with my son (BTW i forgot to say im gonna be a father again!!... two little bundles of joy kicking me in the nuts and poking me in the eye every morning what more can a father ask right?...oh yeah! a daughter to take all my money!!!! :p)
anyways back on topic (dont want to upset anyone for bringing my own personal issues :p), voices....i personally dont like my voice simply because i dont sound anything like what i hear myself...deep voice... kinda harsh...would make you think im a strict overly tense person. ill see if i can find my mic, and ill try a sample both in english and in spanish to show you all what a crappy voice i have (actually i sound a lot nicer in spanish dont know why).
regards all ill see about taking myself out of invis soon...still have some issues to solve.
ow and i almost forgot... name's carlos family calls me carlitos, you can call me charlie if you prefer, or carl or just sep, i dont really mind, not many people call me by my name anyways, i actually have a family nickname but im not comfortable enough with you all to share that :p.
subtopic: BioShock Shocked my PC/XBox 360!!!!.... how many people have experienced the total melt down this game brings? that te main reason im not a pc/xbox gamer that and the red rings :shudder:
edit:
@Alacar...for some reason i hear you and i think im hearing pablo francisco...sounds similar in some way... either that or im just crazy and deaft.
@Itinerant Soldier: you actually sound good...sound like the guys who do radio shows here, hey you could actually have a career in radio (at least here in the phils)
Awww hewo everybody, look myta phased in and out of reality just like that, kinda like a bloody glimmer.
@ voices, I sound different whenever I open my trap, so blah you will never hear me unless I go on pokemon diamond and then you can hear me *****ing at everything, hahaha!
Lastly ether, you can talk as much about persona 3 as you want, I have just started mine and I place it with my top 3 games, I love it, its f*****g sweet, just a pity some games have to end. Like when I played FFXII to death, 300+ hours later I just did not want it to be the end. So go on where you upto at the moment???
P.S. One other thing, hope dolores44 enjoys her date with her fiance!!!
He's actually getting ready for the final battle, and he's up to Floor 252 of Tartarus, and has opened the Monad Depths- and he's only a few more levels away from unlocking Messiah. Meanwhile, I'm still in May.
I actually managed to make a voice clip using the voice recorder on my brother's MP3 player, so as soon as I can find a place to upload it, I'll be posting it.
I really should record something with my new headset. Or something.
As for the video.. watching it now.. there's an obvious audio issue, and the thing is too damn dark. I remember having to use that lamp to illuminate everything. I need a better camera to try something better. Or I could've just waited until the sun was shining all in my room, but then I would disappear into a cloud of vapor.
Sepiriel: So, you're back? I'm still wondering why you were deleting your posts. I hope you feel better.
Tanthalas, you record your voice when you get better. No one here is gonna think badly of someone's voice. Unless you're obviously evil. Then I'll be forced to absorb your powers.

I often imagine what others' voices must sound like. The voice is a pretty important dimension in how I perceive people, so it makes sense.
It's cool to hear all the different ranges of voices people have here.
As for me, no voice clip. Sorry. I am very uncomfortable with my own voice. I wish it weren't so deep, and I think my accent is sorta weird. That, and I have a little bit of a lisp that I'm self-conscious about.

All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to be the light that you see. All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to be the peace that you feel. All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to fill your heart on my own.
But the rainbow is an image of hope for many reasons, as it is a brilliant sight coming out of oftimes dismal weather.
Sepiriel: So, you're back? I'm still wondering why you were deleting your posts. I hope you feel better.
Well yeah im back as much as i can possibly be right now, which is back enough to follow the topics and post even though i might not be so dynamic or open for the time being.
I made a post way back explaining the deleting thing ad i really dont think explaining it again would be a good thing either ether or photon will jump and try to pummel me for starting this again if you really need a better explanation let me know and ill PM it to you and to anyone who needs anything clarified...
@Arguas: well i hope i can get that medley now, i always smile when i think about chocobos which is why i loved FFU.
Edit: Ep sorry about your aunt, its really lucky her cancer was found so early, i have had a few relatives die recently due to cancers so i know what a stress it is on the family, get the community to test the ground and water, it may not be the power plant but it still may be enviroment based and having that tested would help everyone.

Hey hey hey- I've never once said two words to you about any of that. I made a statement about your initial departure because I felt it was overdramatic, and I've gotten quite tired of the "I'm leaving... FOREVER!!!" posts, and that was that. Meanwhile, Josh has never been one to "jump and try to pummel" anyone, so don't imply that he would.
