monday afternoon, slightly dampened jeans on.

I woke up this morning to rain coming down in torrents and lightning. I also woke up at 7:40, and usually by that time on a Monday morning I would be dressed and out the door. But the rain kept coming and the wind was doing that scary whooshing thing is does in Texas, so I just got dressed and waited for it to stop raining so hard.

I think I left the house about 8:30 or so. I threw on my dad's green raincoat because I didn't have an umbrella in the house. It's too big for me, of course; my dad's six-two and I'm five-seven. I stopped to get coffee because my throat hurts and I've been coughing all morning.

And then I get to the lecture hall and find out that class had been canceled.

So I go hang out by the computers in the library and wait it out until bowling. And then I get to bowling, and it too has been canceled.

...okay, I am fine with this. But I could've still been in bed if I had checked my school e-mail. And I NEVER HAVE A CHANCE TO CHECK MY E-MAIL IN THE MORNING. I'm usually too sleepy and too busy trying to wake myself up and eat and get out the door in a timely manner to, and booting up my laptop and logging on and everything is too time-consuming, seriously. I don't even know if my Intro to Broadcast class in cancelled yet, but I should probably check my mail again and see, because I could totally go home now if it is.

And my MP3 player is serving me up a lot of songs that I haven't heard in forever; I think I just got about half of *NSYNC's Celebrity. God, it's been six years since that came out.

say "crack" again. "crack!"

Because, for some reason, I am in a meme kind of mood: Pick five songs that are currently in your music library that you think that I would like.

I was reading the backlogs of Smart Bitches Who Love Trashy Books and I stumbled upon this article, which states that men who have deeper voices are more likely to "produce more children than their higher-pitched counterparts", which made me think of my (still untitled; I know I'm not supposed to be trippin' over that, but I am a title fiend and this is bothering me so much) novel for NaNo this year. And, to a lesser extent, Blonde Bond--because the voice factor was in this book I was reading last spring, and I brought it up to him and he said that he didn't think he had a particularly special speaking voice. Personally I kind of like his voice, but it's not like, swoon inducing. Mostly, it's what he said to me and the manner in which he said it that made me come to this conclusion.

And even though I have very clear ideas of which men who have excellent speaking voices, I'm going to ask who do you (collectively) like to listen to, male voice-wise? I think a lot of people like James Earl Jones and Morgan Freeman because they have that almost regal, "listen to me" tone that comes so easy to them, randomly. But anyway--list attractive voices, yo! And samples are good too (in sound or YouTube forms). If I had more time, I would totally link to Jack Davenport (Norrington!) reading "Jack and the Beanstalk", because it's great.
