Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My parents made my name up after my birth. They had no boy choices. Just an alternate girl choice. Which I'm reasonably glad I escaped. If being ita was sometimes hard, being Aliki would have been a minefield.

My sister also didn't have a boy's alternate, I don't think. Just another girl's name--Philippa--which is worlds more conventional than her actual name. She also got half a name, but she got the recognisable half in a culture far away from here.

What are people doing this weekend?

I am seeing Iron Man 2. Two movies in, what, three weeks? CRAZY.

Leaving early to go out to Shenandoah for some hiking this weekend!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have no weekend plans other than Mother's Day with the fam. I should be out and about today, since it's nice out, but I think it's going to be don't-leave-the-apartment day, which means errands tomorrow in the rain. Ah well.

Pout. I really wanted to come down there to see it with you, but I missed the window.

I am finally going to see the Losers with Consuela though. That will be fun, and maybe I can sneak in a matinee of IM2 on Sunday.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Sparky, you must not live very far from me. Not that I hike. I just know the Shenandoah's ... around here somewhere. To the west.

Oh, Shenandoah, I love your daughter...

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

Here's a thing parents don't do! Name you after "the boy they really wanted!" So everybody else, stop asking!

You know, as much as I love Tchaikovsky, and Swan Lake in particular, it really doesn't work as the Google logo.

Yes! You did tease this, didn't you?

Bad person.

I like roller coasters, though I hate amusement parks. People. Ick.

Montreal had some great wooden coasters. Excellent. And living near Cedar Point was cool, because we'd sometimes take time off in the middle of the week and go ride everything. But there's no off time with California rides, I bet.

Errr.

I'm sure your parents didn't!

Hangs head.
