Shh! I kinda wanna hear me talking right now!

Glory ,'The Killer In Me'


Natter 34: Freak With No Name  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just think it would suck going through elementary school and middle school, bearing it.

In theory, it sucked going through school with my name, and even more with my sister's. But neither of us would trade. I think it's not one of thoses things that'll tip school over into hell by default.

I didn't find out my father's middle name until I was in my teens. But I'm sure if he'd been Monkeypants, he'd have worn it proudly.

I'm still pretty much convinced the poor son of one my wife's ex-coworkers had the worst first name/middle name combination I've ever heard. Norbert Adolf

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I grew up having people call me by my last name as if it were my first, which made me nuts because it seemed like an old person's name.

It happens far more often here, and I don't know why. It always sets my teeth on edge. Though, worse for my brother in the Marines where everyone is called by their last name.

Woo hoo! Welcome Isaac!

I think TAR stuff is white-fonted in Natter because Natter isn't NAFDA. Who knows, TAR could be shown elsewhere. . .

Also, VM: Backup was in last week's episode. I am not entirely convinced that there isn't a different Backup. The thing is that this week's episode was so CLEAR about revenge being her choice (well, heck, the entire season is so about that) that I wonder if it will be her choice. See what I'm getting at?

Allyson, I think your surname is timely for a resurgence as a first name.

Not in a way that'd help your brother, though. Very feminine.

Oh, and in high school I had a classmate named "Michael". She went by Mikey.

Not enough *shudder* in the world. Dare I ask if the last name was mock-worthy as well (not that I need the actual last name)?

See what I'm getting at?

Mmmhmm. And I suspect because it looks like Logan was the rapist or cloesly in on it, it will turn out he isn't. I bet he had the drugs, but I also bet he doesn't know who got a mickey slipped to them. Either that, or he drugged her and then just stole her panties to make her think something had happened. If it's the latter, I may have to throw things at the screen.

I'm told it sounds like a stage name. I could've thought of something better, like "Allyson Inferno." Maybe "Rage Ironfists."

What would you be doing on said stage?
