I'm going to start this post off by saying, holy cow time is flying. I went to get my oil changed today and after when I went into my day planner to write down my next change, I realized my second son will have been born. That is scarey stuff!
I quite enjoy writing this blog and even though my date track record is at a low, I'm ok with it. Today I went out and bought a little notepad for in my purse. I come up with ideas all the time and in 7 days, I completely forget about what they were. Even today I got some interviewing done with a couple girlfriends on a subject that will be eventually touched upon. I want more women's input on the topic so, don't be surprised if I walk up to you, notepad in hand, and ask your opinion.
Also, on Tuesday, I will be conducting a social experiment of sorts, and I'm definitely looking forward to that. So, all in all, I want to thank everyone for giving me subjects to write about! Moving along...
Over this past week, I've been looking to rent something for my son. I hate talking on the phone...HATE it. I hate calling, asking prices, and then quickly hanging up before they can loop me in. After speaking to some who's accents are indistinguishable, to almost falling over in my chair to prices, I called up my last company.
A male answers the phone and honestly, I have no idea what he said, I was too caught up just listening to him speak. From what I could tell, I would pin his age at 25 - 35, and his voice was very smooth. I could listen to him talk all day. He wasn't sure if what I needed was in stock and would call me back in a couple days. Awesome!
I found myself logging straight into facebook, google, the company's website, ANYTHING to find out what this guy looked like. In my mind he couldn't possibly be ugly with a voice like that. I had a vision, and I wanted to know if it was accurate.
Unfortunately, my searches failed. Even with over 100 + photo's on the company's website, there were NONE of any people, just their products. Today I received my dream-bo's call and again, unfortunately what I needed is being rented out that day, so... you will stay in my mind as my Ken barbie doll. I do have to give him credit for calling me back with the bad news instead of leaving me hanging.
Back in 2004, I dated this guy named Jimmy. Now, many people have heard my break-up story with Jimmy and that's all they remember of him, however not many remember his voice or even what he looked like.
Jimmy was a tall and very slender guy. He had his own apartment, and was a HUGE clean freak. He had a key to my apartment and I remember coming home once, seeing his car there, walking in and there's Jimmy on his hands and knees scrubbing my floor with a brush. He insisted they weren't white enough and if you know me, cleanliness is never on my top priority list.
In Jimmy's apartment, everything matched. I'm doing good if I can find socks that match. His curtains matched his bedspread, he had potpourri in the bathroom, and we even got into a fight once because God forbid, I walked on his newly shampooed carpet. Needless to say, Jimmy and I didn't last long but what I want to touch base on, was his voice. Jimmy had a higher voice for a male and I remember I hated it. shh baby don't talk...just listen...always.
Voices are a peculiar thing, they're one of the most distinguishable attributes on a person. Go ahead and pick up the phone right now and call your grandma. Chances are, she probably doesn't have caller-ID so that's why I'm picking her. If you're close to her and talk to her often, she'll know exactly who's on that other line. (Unless grandma has amnesia then go ahead and pick someone else)
Testosterone is one of the key elements that makes a male's voice low, it also is involved with body hair. The more you have, the chances are your voice will lower and you'll grow facial hair. That's why when women decide to become men, they take testosterone injections. The same goes for our estrogen, it'll make your voice higher and you'll start to grow....womanly attributes.
I think women have it in their mind (I know I do) that the more testosterone a man has, the manlier he is. The manlier he is, the more likely that he'll want to settle down eventually and have his legacy continue on...aka kids. I guess maybe it all goes back to caveman days and the same goes for men. Women that tend to have a higher voice and bigger cleavage seem to get all the boys to the yard. Of course, there's always the exception.
I'll end tonight with the conclusion of Jimmy and I's break-up. After 3 weeks, Jimmy pulled out the love card and I found I couldn't say it back and it hurt him. I knew we weren't compatible at all and had to let the boy down. In the parking lot of his apartment, I told him it wasn't going to work and things had to end. Jimmy started crying..hard. I did the next best thing I could think of......run. I jumped into my truck and started pulling away. In the rear view mirror I could see Jimmy running after my truck, in the middle of street, crying while chasing.
The last time I spoke to Jimmy which was....probably two years later, he was married and was trying for children. Good for you Jimmy!
