help with the "sounds like" section

Posted on July 16, 2008 at 12:40 AM

So...I've been thinking maybe I shouldn't leave my "sounds like" section blank. I have been thinking P, who has taken it upon himself to crack the whip a little bit, is going to scold me for it soon, and I would like to pre-empt him. The thing is, I get very squirmy about filling in that particular section. I can tell you who I like, who I think influences me...but I am sort of at a loss as to who to best compare myself to. It's just hard to hear yourself, I think, in any way that brings accurate relativity.

Um, that sounded like science talk, didn't it? Not what I was going for. You know what I mean? (this is something they ask in California a lot...when in Rome...)

So anyway, I thought I'd put the question out to those people who are probably the best people to ask - the people who listen. So if that applies to you, I would be ever so grateful for any ideas for filling in this tricky "sounds like" section. Feel free to comment here or to write me privately. And while I will maintain veto power - I am not going to tell people that I sound like Hillary Duff, por ejemplo, - I'll throw anything you send me up for at least a couple of days. So here you go, your big opportunity to help me out, and/or graffiti my page.

Also, I just got a twitter account. Do any of you have a twitter account? (This is me sheepishly asking you to be my friend. I think I only have one right now, if I counted correctly.)

=)

Thanks. Love.
