Chastity.
I'm not crazy about that because I feel like it's become a sort of Britney name.
I love Prudence! Pru! Maybe not Temperence so much.
Oh! I love Honor!!!
I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I think I love all the virtue names. Faith, Hope, Charity, etc. Although it's possible I'm not thinking of a key one or two.
JZ's RenFaire name is Prudence Cobblepot. A combination of my grandmother's name and The Penguin's last name (in some continuities, anyway).

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Actually, it's Repentance Cobblepot.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
My mind has been completely corrupted by fandom. I'm proofing a book with illustrations of the Wright Brothers, and one totally looks like Captain Jack and Ianto Jones in pre-WWI period dress rolling around in a meadow.
Is there something I don't want to know about the Wright Brothers?

Our wings are not tired.
I love Honor and thought it was sweet that Jessica Alba named her baby that.

WRT Esme.... There are gonna be so many Esmes and Bellas in the nearish future. Shudder.
One of the craft blogs I read, in fact, has two cats, Esme and Bella. I couldn't stomach reading it after I realized how CRAZY this woman was about Twilight.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I have a new list. It's called Things not to see when it hurts to laugh.
First thing on the list: The cat getting a role of tape attached to the end of its tail and running through the apartment in a panic trying to get away from the tape.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Captain Jack and Ianto Jones in pre-WWI period dress rolling around in a meadow.
Mmm.
What? Were you saying something?
That reminds me. My ljArchive foray turned up a fandom song I wrote for Ianto and chickened out of posting. Ima post it over there now.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Repentance is fabulous, in that wacky Puritan name way. On the male side, when was the last time anyone named a kid "Increase"?

I remember a Russell who did that, but not Emmett. It was night, the road was closed for repairs, Russell decided to walk down it anyway.
Oh, right, it was Russell. It's those doubled letters that confused me.
Temperence!
I have a "Temperance Baker" way back in my family tree. 1700s New England. Presumably she wouldn't have been one for making rum cakes, but given my family's history of drunks the name may well have turned out Little John-ish.
