talk to me

I have this crazy idea. Tell me what you think.

As part of his work shane does a lot of conference calls that he records as mp3's. Making the call is free. You get an access code and call a 1-800 number. The conference can accomodate up to 50 people.

I want to start a monthly bloggy crush chat. And then post it here for the world to listen to.

I picture talking with all of you about topics like depression, medication, children, boobs. You know.

We'd have a specific topic each time and talk like internet friends do. Like people who share intimate details, but have never met or even talked.

What do you think?

I think this is a great idea... for other people to do! :) I'm all about listening in on some girl-girl er.. action. (I really didn't mean that to sound dirty. Okay, well... not TOTALLY anyway..)

But I don't think I could actually do it. Just think! The entire internets (yes, INTERNETS!) would then be as acutely aware as I am that when I speak I sound like a fourteen year old girl. On speed. And possibly large quantities of Mt Dew and Oreos.. the jury is still out on that one.

But? Other folks? Yay! DO IT!

I love the idea of this and I would totally listen in and maybe participate at some point. Mel says that she sounds like a fourteen year old girl, well I sound totally monotone on recordings, imagine Ben Stein, but as a woman. This could be quite fun :)

Oh my my, oh hell yes.

Thanks Chair, now I have that song stuck in my head!

Great idea, I would love to get in on that.

hmmm. intriguing.

will consider.

Jennie

That's a terrific idea. Although I'm not sure all of the yelling and screaming in the background at my house would make mine a very good conf. call location.

Dana

I think that would be so much fun! I'm game! :)

Posted by Dana | October 20, 2006 06:57 AM

I love it.

LOL, i was thinking the same thing as Jennie...I love the idea but find I use the intenet because my kids won't let me speak on the phone for longer than two minutes.

Andrea

I'm interested, maybe more to the listening than the chatting. I don't know that people would find me normal if I don't have a delete button and editing features. I have a hard time self editing in conversation. But I'd give it a shot.

Cool idea! Anybody who wants to look hard enough can find video of me on the internets talking about my sexual fantasies (loooooong story). I can't imagine this could be any more embarrassing so I am game.

Yay! and Yes!

I'm moe than willing - if it's not during work hours or times when Franklin is awake...

I'm sticking to talking about boobs. But, yeah. I'm in.

Absolutely! Yes! Yes!
