To hell with fixing hair. My mother never fixed my hair. I know plenty of black American girls whose hair got fixed by professionals. That's a big crock of shit.

What amych said.

And no, P-C, that's not the name. I'll never tell!

I don't name stuff, not cars nor electronics, aside from my iPod because it asked me to name it.

Which is why my iPod is named "Tamara's iPod".

My Shuffle is named Smellerbee. My previous Shuffle was named Pipsqueak. I have an iPod that my brother gave me and I've never used, but if I ever get around to using it, it's named The Duke.

My car is named Caprica.

I didn't use to name things but it seemed like everyone else did, so I started.

This laptop is Illyria. My dual-boot netbook has two names: KAZ-2Y5 (XP) and CNK-80Q3 (Win7).

My iPhone is Sophia, so I can send nasty messages to Perkins' iPhone (Chad). This is possibly funny only to us. The iPod I can't find right now (don't know which purse she's in) is Ruby. My First iPod is Diefenbaker.

Possibly, I should not be allowed to name things.

This is possibly funny only to us.

I'm giggling.

My old laptop was George. I haven't named the new one yet...must take care of that. The iTouch is TouchSuzi (REAL creative, eh). The Mustang will always be "Mom's car".

The poor cat is named Miss Kitty. At least I did ok with the kids.

Owen and Olivia make up stories like this.

I also made up stories like this. I convinced a preschool teacher that my whole family was moving to Africa. She went on at my mom for a while about how much they would miss us.

Sadly for some, this is not a trait I've outgrown. As recently as three years ago, I told my brother that when they took out my gall bladder, they replaced it with the largest salt water shark tank on the East Coast.

Stories make life more interesting.

Wheelchairs have been called Marvin (after the Paranoid Android), Luna (after the Harry Potter character) and Bob (I do not know why).

Laptops were Mr Crashy I, II and III, before they stopped fitting that description so well.

Cars have been the Enterprise, the Delta Flyer, and my current little TARDIS (which is absolutely bigger on the etc).

iPod has no name. It's too generic.

I rarely name things. At one job, the cranky typesetting developer was named Fred when I got there. Fred tended to roll up the paper inside of himself and to spontaneously spew developing fluid, leading to cries of "Fred just threw up all over my shoes." At one point, there was a human Fred working there who was not at all amused.

You AUGHT To Remember (a blog)

Counting the 100 trends, fashions, memes, personalities and ideas that shaped the first decade of the 21st Century.

Wait, so if 2000 was the beginning of the 21st century, is it also the beginning of the third millennium?
