And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Hee! Too bad now I'm hearing that in Andy-Samberg-as-Mark-Wahlberg voice. Or maybe not too bad!

Haha! And then my friend C. threatens to punch me in the face, and it all goes downhill. Baby remains blissfully unaware, trying to eat the afghan.

Thrive to spite them

If I took my current I'd be Maddie Pine or Dean Pine. I guess I could throw out the street name and combine the pets names - Maddie Dean.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What kind of apocalypse scenario best suits you?

Bussy Bleeker.

I don't think either my first or middle names have any history to them. But the order was an argument my father won. My mother's pick was Jacqueline, but she was too afraid I'd end up Jackie. JZ seems to have navigated that well, but I do think the name suits her more than it would me.

Oh, and JZ - I will say I sometimes feel like you have some kind of cosmic connection to the maternal side of my family. First there's the Jacqueline thing, then Matilda shares her birthday with my mom, and her name was my grandmother's middle name. That's the side of the family that grew all the strong, articulate women, so hey.

(Actually, my grandmother was Grace Matilda, so she's really very well represented around here.)

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

First pet and street I lived on when I got that pet: Gold Robert

Longest-lived pet and street I lived on when I had her: Missy San Antonio

Most recent pet and street I lived on when I had him: Toby Dwight

The middle one is kind of passable, but none of them are really great stripper names and the third is just kind of sad.

eta: Aw, brenda, how sweet! JenK's grandmother was also a Matilda. And I negotiated the Jackie thing just by being the stubbornest little butthead of a kid you ever saw. It helped that my grandfather and uncle were both Jack, so when my uncle wasn't being Jack Junior he was Jackie -- between him and afternoon basic cable full of old movies and TV shows starring Jackies Coogan and Cooper, I was very firm as a small child that Jackie was a BOY'S name and I was a GIRL, thank you very much.

In I can't tell if this is inappropriate or not news: MAC Liquidlast eyeliner? Will last through the apocalypse.

I field-tested Urban Decay's 24/7 liner under much the same circumstances and had the same results.

Yep, first time I wore the 24/7 was for my dad's funeral. I remember looking in the mirror at the wake and thinking "damn, this shit is GOOD."

Also, have never owned a pet, so can't be a porn star.

Ann, that's a ferret.

the third is just kind of sad

The third gives off a boy-next-door vibe.

Based on the first pet I remember, I'd be Charley St. Lawrence. If we go by first pet that was mine, Fuzzy St. Lawrence.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

I'd have a pretty lame porn star name. All I ever had was one hamster and it's name was Tutu the Tecond (the first was my brother's and he/she died before I got mine.) And we lived on Shephard Ave., so Tutu the Tecond Shephard. Nah, not gonna fly. We had outdoor cat that had kittens, once. Now, those could have made interesting porn star names: Ford, Mimi and Genghis Khan. Except we had a rural route box number for an address, so that wouldn't really fly.

I was named after my mother's best friend's daughter. The friend's brother ended up marrying mom's sister, so you could kinda say it's a family name. My middle name is just because my dad always liked it.

If I went for a pseudonym, it would be reversing my first and middle and then changing one letter in my name to make it a surname--Roberta Allen.
