The truth of foliedevoix...
by foliedevoix @ Tuesday, 22. Apr, 2008 - 07:09:33 pm

Hi again everybody...sorry for the delay in blogging, it was a very busy weekend for me. Well, actually I didn't do much, but I've been teaching myself to sing! AAAARGH!  Cover your ears - Oh, wait a sec, you can't hear it! And if you think I'll be singing songs by Leona Lewis, Mariah Carey, and all those people who hang onto their notes for about twenty seconds or something...you're WRONG. HA! I do not do singing in that style -I don't listen to it (and can't stand it; no offense to any of you singers if you read this - highly doubtful, but I just don't like your music!) so will not sing it. There's this band called Mega City Four, actually they split up and then their lead singer died, but they wrote songs with lyrics that were good, and had a message like the grass isn't greener on the other side, so I've been trying to sing their songs. I must keep practicing, but if I want to pass my music GCSE, I might need to learn to sing as I'm doing this song I made up...and there's no one to sing it as it's a solo piece.
Anyway.... back to the title. In French, we were talking about how you should never use babelfish for your work as it gives you words that aren't even in the dictionary and scrambles everything up. Then I remembered before I started doing GCSE, I put "Vote Insanity" into the translation and it came up with...."folie de voix". Then I asked my teacher today...what does folie de voix mean exactly? She said: "Madness of voice".
So foliedevoix's message of "Vote Insanity", is actually saying "Madness of Voice". Now you know the mystery of my name! It's quite appropriate actually, with some of the crazy stuff I say. And this article is to inform anyone who doesn't realise already that I am NOT French!
Oh, the power of babelfish!

Thanks. "Mad" is what I'll keep on being....normality is just too boring! :))

I got my friend Nick to try putting my name into that fish thing and making it into chinese because that is where I come from and it gave me this 小圆面包 but I do not speak chinese unfortunately so I do not know if it is accurate :¬)

I doubt it but thanks anyway....it's going to take me a long time before I can sing something recognisable - I'd rather go on TV playing my clarinet if I had the option! :D

I think when you put it into Japanese or Chinese you need some sort of text translator. I think they should have a prounciationed version instead - that would be simpler! :)
