the name game
Okay; quit bugging already! After what seemed like (yeh, i know) FOREVER, im back onto the next post
Been real caught up with stuff and you could say, suffering from writer's block. gacks.
My major pet peeve.
Don't you just get so hung up and cranky when you can't think of anything to say or write?
Used to get it whenever my english teachers gave me some boring shit to write about. Just typical of them to do so. They glom on whatever boring topic they can find and make it five thousand times worse.
*catches my breathe*
okay, enough bitching.
Right, so. the other day during my piano lesson, my piano teacher was telling us about
some hilarious names her students had. You wouldn't believe how dense their parents can
get. How would you like it if you were named Peppermint? or Rainbow?
NO KIDDING!
i mean, it is kinda cute and all that when you're in baby OshKosh B'Gosh, glued to the pacifier OR a pet hamster. But think about it.
When you're all grown up, It would be anything but CUTE. It'll be HUMILIATING.
scene number 1:
"HEY Peppermint! You sound sooo deliciously good. I was wondering if you taste just as great"
or
scene number 2:
"OH look! i see a rainbow up there! Oh nahs, my bad. It's just you, Rainbow! How silly of me!"
you'd be digging a deep pit to jump in or throw yourself off a cliff. so not cute.
People are becoming blase about names like Dick and Willy (not that i myself think they aren't funny anymore) but funnier names just keep coming up.
My sister used to have a friend named River. Her brother was Sky. And her sister, Valley
I reckon her parents are Village and Town. Must've worked too much for National Geographic and ended up totally off their rocker.
Was checking up some American phone directory the other day and the names some people have! Let's see. there was Long Harden, Bump Iona, Belch Verbyl (belches and barfs all over), Atlanta Wee Wee ( -he's an inspector, btw)..Ben Schlanker (schlong+wanker?) Oh! and there was Lunatic Fringe.
GOD! What were their mums and dads thinking!
You may think im being such a meanie scorning people's names. But at least this will save my mum from my perpetual whining on why she did't name me Angel, Princess, Alicia, or Jessy instead. At least i'm now aware that i should be thankful they did't name me Bubble, Peppermint or Cloud.
BIG thanks to mum and dad!
