I got Laryngitis and I feel ALRIGHT!

[baltimoron]

Things are definately A-OK here in the Baltimoron Household!! Today I woke up, and to my suprise something very Kafka-esque occured! I had the voice of a monster! After convincing myself that my body had not also undergone a horrific Metamorphosis, I realized, much to my great joy (sarcasm? hardly...) that I have Laryngitis. Yep, I sound not unlike Smeagel/Gollom from Lord of the Rings. My voice is the one thing I cannot lose! I live in the city! How am I supposed to yell at Crackheads on the bus! How am I supposed to tell the man at smoothie kind that I want NO wierd chinese power boosters in my hawaiian sunrise! how am I supposed to tell people I see on the street that today is free testing day at Planned Parenthood?

I cannot survive.

Can anybody tell me how I can get my voice back? :-(

just bring a black marker and large pieces of paper and write out whatever you want to say...if you wanna get the shouting effect slap 'em a couple of times with a rolled up newspaper before showing them what you wrote

If you live in the city, just use hand signals! :11:

You are a genius!!!! Imagine the look on my english teacher's face when I do that to him!! heh heh heh....

but no, things are getting better... still can't say different things, or talk in Hebrew (too many incapable sounds) but things are getting better.

How long till you were totally better? It's Saturday evening and I sound like the Kraken's avatar looks (just saw his picture - much better looking than his avatar )
I have to go back to receptionist-ing Monday morning - do I stand a prayer?

no. You are not going anywhere. Enjoy it. You'll be out until Tuesday. Just call your boss with your voice and enjoy. Try not to whisper, that makes things worse. Drink hot things, and have fun. I am an actor..... it was just on big acting excersise to me. That or how fast you can write.

Here's to a fast and full recovery.
