I don't understand why people use a significantly different homonym to spell my name. For the second time today, someone I *emailed* to say I was coming put the wrong name on the security list. Just cut and paste! It makes more sense!
Willow: It feels like we're going around in circles. Xander: Our circles are going around in circles. We got dizzy circles here.

Natter 54: Right here, dammit.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I got a stalkerish email from Amazon telling me that since I like crime fiction, I should watch K-Ville.
Pfft, that's nothing. I got a stalkerish email from Amazon telling me that since I bought Kim Cooper's 33 1/3 book on Neutral Milk Hotel and that I like Tom Waits I might like David Smay's new 33 1/3 book on Tom Waits.
Which is due out today (according to them).

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I don't understand why people use a significantly different homonym to spell my name.
'Cause they think you are a boy?
That's what happens to Franny, everyone spells her name the male way. I've even had people comment on my choice of such an "unusual" spelling.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There was a time when Allyson's book page on Amazon told you it was better together with S1 of Eureka. Best software ever.
I accidentally invited someone to dinner tomorrow night for handmade pasta. I don't remember losing my mind, but I guess forgetting's a possible side effect.
Just cut and paste! It makes more sense!
Especially if you're lazy, which is what I assume they are.

No Bread and Jam for Frances as children? Tragic.

eta: JenP, was that me? If so, yes. If not, well, go ahead it's the board's birthday--it got you something nice!
It was. Thankees.
So, about Lindsay v. Lindsey. I always thought the "a" spelling was for girls, and the "e" for boys. But now I see "e" for girls a lot (well, relatively... and for an actual relative). Did I just make that up? I mean, I don't care, I just wonder.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I don't understand why people use a significantly different homonym to spell my name.
If it helps at all, I was just taunting a (boy) cow-orker with your name that he had a girly spelling, now that the more common boy-variant spelling has joined the team.
Unless you mean the other homonym, in which case I got nothing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So a guy driving a van ran a red light and hit a bus. 13 people were hospitalized, four with critical injuries - including a 9-year-old passenger of the van.
This is what the driver of the van was cited for:
Francisco Diaz-Colin, 28, of the 3200 block of West Fullerton Avenue, was cited for disobeying a red light, driving without a license, driving without insurance, driving with an obstructed view, driving an unsafe vehicle and speeding, police said this morning.
I guess some people can't be bothered to give a shit about anything. So far, no mention of him being impaired, so apparently he did all this sober.

I am way too startled by the assholish things people will do when driving, but Shoot 'Em Up (title of a movie released in the past month) made me feel vicariously better about jackass drivers. Doesn't save anyone's life, though.

D'ya suppose the spreading of this rumor is connected to the custody battle?
The television show Entertainment Tonight was reporting on its Web site Monday that it has several reliable sources who say the FBI and Los Angeles police are investigating legitimate leads of a contract hit on Kevin Federline's life.
But later Monday, representatives for the FBI and LAPD denied any investigation.
