Get outta here! Really?
I'm generally pretty good at this sort of thing but did NOT see that coming.
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

When I see the long Indian names in the credits of movies, I wonder if they have to be truncated to fill out the various computerized forms people have to fill out or if the forms are scalable.

Now, wait a minute. I used to know someone with this name. It was pronounced Talley-u-farrow.
Is that not right?

In happy news, I've decided to treat myself to a deep tissue Thai massage today. I expect to be in happy pain shortly.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I can't imagine ever changing my name, it seems like a such a huge hassle for such an antiquated reason. But then I also don't imagine ever having children and thus having to think about the group/family unit all having the same last name.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I know my changing my name initially was because my Dad adopted my step-brother and step-sister (with the same first name as me) and so she and I shared the same name from junior high and I was just over it. Oddly, I am the only one who has a trace of maiden name left in my name. I liked that name. I just wanted some flexibility.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Don't know if I'd change my name, but I do tend to try it out in my head with the name of whoever I'm dating. I'd want to keep my middle name that I have, though.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Personally, I have really resented the patriarchal assumption that women should change their name when they marry. This is something that has bothered me nearly my whole life.
I remember an argument I got into in high school with a teacher and another girl after I said I'd never change my last name. I was told loftily I'd feel differently after I fell in love, I'd WANT to change my name to his! I said, so then, if he loves me, why doesn't he change his name to mine? Oh, hilarity.

A bunch of "my" authors have long Indian names, and they truncate them or just use initials. It screws up our systems when they use initials for their LAST name though.
I have a regular author whose last name is O, which apparently blows the minds of our typesetters. I usually get it back as O. Firstname. Because a name cannot be one letter.
