Name change

[Andara Bledin]

Slightly tangential, but Carlin would be a fun personal name.

Hmm. I could be the next "Thor" type...all I need is a BIG FRICKEN HAMMER. Because I like sticks, and I especially like sticks that have blunt objects on the ends of them, and I REALLY like sticks that are designed for the express purpose of splattering stuff.
(What, me have issues...?!)

I'm tempted to send you a Nerf Mjolnir. I have one and the first thing I did when I saw my mates, was throw it at or hit them (the one thing it says NOT to do )

And hey. I fight in a German long sword style, for the express purpose of killing the enemy dead quickly so I can return to my beer drinking and wenching .

A former female roommate of mine had that as her first name. And her last name was a somewhat common guy's name, so that made for interesting telemarketer calls and mailings to her. While I don't remember her last name, let's say it was Michael. (It wasn't.) A lot of her mail, rather than being addressed to Carlin Michael, would be addressed to Michael Carlin. And almost always "Mr. Michael Carlin," just to add insult to injury. And phone calls would come in for "Mr. Carlin." You get the idea.

I can return to my beer drinking and wenching.

Two of my favorite activities!

My husband is going through this right now. He finally got his court date for next month to finalize it. He and his dad DON'T get along but rarely (hubby has had to knock his dad out on occasion when he gets overly beligerant and threatening) and so hubby decided to change his name to his Moms maiden name and a new middle name. Once that's done I can go about changing my name finally. And it's Scottish!

It's a good way to distance yourself from something you don't want. And can maybe remind you not to become.

Too late for me. I maintain that one of the wisest things - perhaps the ONLY wise thing I've ever done (or in this case, NOT done) in my life was never to have kids. The cycle of family suck will end with me. (Besides, I never wanted kids in the first place. If I wanted to be told "I hate you" on a regular basis for not fulfilling ridiculous requests I can just go work some more retail. )

And the Cloud O' Doom has returned with a vengeance. Just ate dinner (BLTs) when I felt something crunch in my mouth that wasn't a normal crunch. Then I felt a jagged edge in my mouth where there isn't normally a jagged edge. Got the flashlight and a small mirror to confirm my worst suspicion. Then I poked around in the food I spat out, and yes indeedy...

...it's a piece of back upper molar. Or maybe it's a filling. I can't tell. I'm not feeling any pain, and I don't remember when the last time was that I had a filling.

BUT GODFUCKINGDAMMIT I JUST GOT DONE WITH $2300 WORTH OF GODDAMN DENTAL EXPENSES AND NOW HERE IS ANOTHER AND THIS TIME I DON'T EVEN HAVE A FUCKING JOB TO PAY FOR ANY OF IT AND MY PARENTS ARE SO STRAPPED THEMSELVES THEY PROBABLY WON'T BE ABLE TO DO MUCH.

I HATE EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW.

I approve of this post. *adds "big fricken sword" to Xmas Wish List*

Three unisex names I didn't notice on Jester's list: Ashley, Shannon, Hilary.

THIS is Nerf Mjolnir.

As for the dental stuff, you might look into finding a local dental teaching facility. While you have to put up with having students work on you, you get massively reduced prices.

Perhaps you should change your name to Erida.

Shannon was there, though you certainly have two I didn't have. But I am sure there are TONS I didn't have. My point stays the same, though....pick whatever name you want that means something to you, and fuck what the rest of the world thinks.

(Great example: My sister has one of those either way names, but she spells it in a way that, where she lives, is considered the male version, and she is constantly having to explain to people that, no, her name is NOT misspelled, that IS her name, damn it!)

What I find amusing is that my dad and then all of my aunts from my grandpa's 1st marriage have unisexed names/ names that skew to the opposite gender.

No clue as to which of my grandparents had the sense of humor.
