Furrier than I thought?
14 years ago
One of my favorite kids' Christian songs is "Jesus Made the Animals". It goes "Animals, animals, Jesus made the animals! Great big animals, little tiny animals! Animals, animals, Jesus made the animals! A(n) _____ is an animal that _____ knows!" Except I sing it more like, "GREAT BIG ANIMALS!!!! Little tiny animals . . ." I practically roared the "great big animals" part the other day, and one of my friends were, like, "A Channi is an animal that I know!" And I was like "BOOOOOO!!!" And then my other friend did something and I growled or something like that, and the first friend was like, "Channi, really . . . you're acting like an animal today."
Guess I'm furrier than I thought. :P I do growl and/or hiss when I'm annoyed though. (My grandpa also hisses when he's irritated or is ridiculing something. Sounds just like a snake.) It's something I've done since I was a child, and I've gotten very good at it. Some of my friends find it impressive or funny, some think it's weird. Meh. Not sure what to do about it.
I should post my Godzilla roar here someday. I lowered the pitch with Audacity, and it sounds really authentic. I always wondered how they make that sound for movies, and now I know!
Which reminds me, once I was singing that song at some kids' thing I was helping with, and it was my turn, so I said my animal was an okapi. And the other helpers were like "An okapi is an animal that I don't know!" Then one of the kids were like . . .
Kid: "That's a big cat, right?"
Me: "No, you're thinking 'ocelot'."
Kid: "Ah."
And the helpers were like, D8. T'was pretty epic. At the time. Now it's lame.
