James "Fry"?!

So, all this time I assumed two things about James Frey:

  • His voice had a badass undertone to it, being that he was a heavy smoker, alcoholic, and drug addict
  • His last name was pronounced "Fray"
Neither of these is true. Damn you, Oprah.

His voice is NOT HIGH. Dammit.

But, it's not gruff like I expected. It's just a lot softer than I had imagined. Kinda like before I knew what you looked like I assumed you had really blonde hair down to your shoulders with no bangs, wore a baseball cap and a hooded sweatshirt and jeans, and didn't wear make-up. It just messes with my mind that he doesn't sound like I expected.

I did expect him to sound tougher. Instead, he had a kind of Southern twang and a slight lisp. It was surprising. I think Fry does sound better than Fray, though. It was funny when they showed the flashback of his mother screaming, THAT'S MY SON! when Oprah's book pick was announced.

No, wait. I didn't mean to sound like I was directing that to you. I meant to imply that I don't know what his voice sounds like, but I didn't want it to be high. Oh, murr. You know what I mean.

Wait. How'd you get that impression of me? *cocking head in confusion*

I dunno, it's the way I dress and we seemed so similar that I just assumed you bummed around like me till I found out you were a sophisticated lady. :) In my neck of the woods we basically take a shower in the morning then throw on the closest clothes available. Not sure where I got the light blonde hair bit...
