YAY BABY!!!
I missed all my TV last night, but spent a nice evening with friends so I guess it balances out. Still avoiding whitefont and being impatient is no good.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My middle name is my mother's maiden name, which makes that as a security question kind of stupid. Not as stupid as people whose mother's maiden name continues to be her last name, but still. Everyone in my mom's side of the family has a family name as a middle name.

I am named after several dead relatives, on both sides of my family. My brother is named after a New Bedford cooper from the 1840s, who was a distant forbear. We're very good recyclers that way.
an old family name: Rising.
I knew a kid named Josh Rising when I was in high school. Nicest guy ever. Of course, irony being what it is, he wiped out skiing his senior year, had a compound fracture of his lower leg, and was ever after known as Josh Falling.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Yay Issac!! It's a good name.
I have friends who are going to name their 2nd child (due in 6 weeks) Lolly Cinnamon - surname Darling. If they are fooled and it ends up being a boy, he will be named Elvis Henry "Superman" - surname Darling. I love them, but they take wacky to the extreme.

I can think of worse ways to be teased with that name.

I have known both a Lolly and a Cinnamon, but the Lolly was a nickname for I forget what. Actually, each of those women was fairly wacky in her own right.
Dude, Rob Morrow is on Ellen talking about his daughter Tu. Tu Morrow. For reals.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
You guys identified the same problems I had with the "depressed cities" list. Of fucking course NYC has high rates of AD consumption.
And growing up with a boy's name is not a huge deal.

A friend's husband is called John. Except that's not his name. He never has used his firstname. His lastname is Johnson.
This confuses the hell out of people.

"Issac" was my paternal grandfather's middle name.
I'm kind of surprised we don't have more wee or adult Elvises running about.
