I misread this as "inappropriate sperm"
So did I.
Welcome, Shambles. That was quite an opening post. We should add that self-description to the wall outside the Buffista compound in checklist form.
Yay! for Stephanie (but Boo! for bugs)
Congratulations to Cashmere, Owen, and Christopher on their imminent new band member!
Yay! for good jobs to Fay and vw.
I'm so glad your new job's working out, Fay! Sounds like a good employer.
And did I say congrats to Cash & Co. on the future soon-to-be, wee little girl? If not, congratulations! (Heck, even if I did it still bears repeating.)
Welcome, Shambles! Yay to Stephanie and Fay! Congrats to Cash & Family! Whew. Lotta good stuff.
I was given a name no one could pronounce or spell until 90210. And there are some who still can't pronounce or spell it.
Really? I've never met one of you who had that problem, but it may have been a more popular name in this neck of the woods. (And now I'm totally earwormed with A Simple Desultory Philippic. The man ain't got no culture.)
Of course, my brother has been known to make similar complaints about his name (Ian), and lord knows there's enough of them out there that in college, we'd have to specify which Ian we meant. Sibling!Ian, being the obnoxious brat that he is, blames my name for any problems people had with his name when I point out to him that really, there's a lot of Ians out there. Claims there was trickle-down weirdness. Whatever.

OMG, I flash on that song at the strangest times.
I've been mothered, fathered, aunt & uncled...
Oops. Meant to link to this colorway:

I'm currently wearing these, which are comfy and mid-Victorian.

Me too! I feel so much less alone now.
Those are gorgeous, Betsy.
How about "sssszzzzzzzz!"?
It doesn't make me sound (any more) like I've sprung a leak?
Apple may turn out to be one of the ones that doesn't mind. I think her name is weirder than mine, but I'm sure there are observers that think both our parents are equally batshit.
I think your name is pretty. I live in fear of saying it correctly if/when we ever meet, but I think it's pretty. It's also not a piece of fruit.

Yeah, Ian's not uncommon any more at all. There's an Ian in Christopher's kindergarten class. For that matter, there was an Ian in my kindergarten class. He moved away. He was my favorite boy in the whole kindergarten.
He doesn't say it
Eye'n,
does he?
