~I'm just a sweet transvestite..~

One of the things that I like to do at work is listen to Audiobooks, there's a site that I go to that has tons of books available to listen to. Granted, I also like to listen to music but sometimes I need some sort of mental image for my mind to grasp onto and audiobooks do just that. And currently I'm listening to the "Abhorsen" series by Garth Nix. Guess who it's narrated by?

.. Tim fucking Curry.

I have this thing for british voices. Cultured british voices and they just make me melt. In fact I pretty much think that my sexuality can fall adeptly into 'britosexual' for the mere fact that a beautiful british voice makes my vagina smile.

Yeah, I did just say that.

So now if anyone talks to me I can go "excuse me, can you repeat yourself.. I cannot hear you over the sound of Tim Curry's voice". There are people in this warehouse though that would understand completely and totally.

I had to read Lolita in a pretty short period of time for a class, so I'd listen to it on audiobook while stuck in traffic. I was easily distracted from the whole "I'm reading about a pedophile" thing because Jeremy Irons was narrating.

[alwaysbeenasmiler]

Oh gods, Jeremy Irons.. that's just.. gah.

Need to listen to that too..

[ex_valour601]

Oh man, I love that series already and now it's just even better. My friend introduced it to me years ago and I still re-read it when I can.

[alwaysbeenasmiler]

Have never read it, but damn if it seems that much more awesome because of TIM CURRY. omg... I just can't contain myself.

[ex_valour601]

Haha, I kind of figured since you already mentioned you were listening to the audio book for the first time (you were probably too old for when it first came out, considering it was old when I read it in college), but it's good to hear they got such an amazing person as its reader. I'll have to look it up.

Unnghg I love Tim Curry, he's so fantastic~

[alwaysbeenasmiler]

I know.. it was love at first sight when I saw him in the Rocky Horror Picture Show.. I giggled hysterically the first time I saw that and couldn't get it out of my mind.

omg, I love that series and think that Tim Curry would be the PERFECT narrarator for that!

What do you do for work? I wish I could listen to audiobooks all day! I've only recently gotten in to listening to audiobooks, and found that I actually find it super relaxing.

I work at NastyGal.Com (it's not what you think, it's really just clothing and such). I am a problem/solver-Lander there, meaning that all the shipments from vendors that we get, I make sure that it's ready to be received into the warehouse.

And yes, Audiobooks are very relaxing! And he's a GREAT narrator. I flippin' love Tim Curry... his voice, just g'ah!

[breyzyyin]

Gah, that's awesome! I'd totally listen to anything narrated by Tim Curry, haha! XD

[alwaysbeenasmiler]

He could read a book about dog crap and I probably would think that it's the best thing ever!

[glacialphoenix]

He also voiced one of the characters in one of my favourite old old games. It was a bit of a shock. XD

[alwaysbeenasmiler]

What did he voice? And what game was it from? OMG I want to know now!

[glacialphoenix]

He voiced the title character in Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers. It's an old Sierra game (and Sierra's now defunct, if I recall correctly, which tells you how old it is) - point and click adventure back in the heyday of the adventure genre. Wiki tells me it was released in '93, so, uh. Still one of my favourites, though - very noir. ♥

[alwaysbeenasmiler]

I should give it a search through. -_- Just because I love games and I'm looking for more things to fill up my time even though realistically I do have enough projects to last me...

[glacialphoenix]

It's got two sequels, too! I liked the second, but the third is a bit off. I need to finish the third though... Although, I admit, I'm a fan of the point-and-click adventure genre. (Says the person who got a whole pile of old LucasArts games in her Steam account because Monkey Island and The Dig and the Indiana Jones games _ )

haha! i love this. he has a very sensual voice.

[alwaysbeenasmiler]

He does.. in fact my friend Stalcup linked me to his song in the Littlest Witch and I was like "Oh dear". Yeah, he isn't handsome but he is very unique in his vocal tendancies and his looks which are slightly sinister.. gives people the heebie jeebies. But in a good way. I love him so much!
