I know! I want one now. Forget my healthy lunch, man. Cupcaaaaakes.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I do have avocado in my healthy lunch.
But it's not a cupcake. (I seriously want that frosting SO BAD. I have to keep telling myself, "Self, you only have to wait until 6:00 for cupcakes. Be a grown-up!" And, as 6:00 gets closer and closer, it gets harder and harder to wait. SUCH AGONY, I TELL YOU.)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
In re names - I remember hearing about a local man whose last name is O. Just O. Which causes as much of a problem as the too-long names (and, yes, The Story of O is always full of pain).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I still want to change my last name to de la O !. Coworker over the cube wall thinks I'm mean, and yeah, I am. But I have zero sympathy for database design. Given that I'm already fighting default capitalisation, why not go whole hog?
Right, because my father likes having the same surname as me.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I look at my address book, and there's one O and at least 50 P last names.

Story regarding names from back in my college days:
The mother of a girl I went to college with was from an old, upper class Spanish family. Her father wasn't. Being in America, she used an English-friendly version of her name but could, on occasion, pull out her Spanish geneology of a name. Once she was browsing through a store and was in the silverware department and a VERY pushy salesman seemed to think she was looking for something for a wedding registery. He pushed and she was as politely noncommital as possible. Finally, he told her that if she registered with them and got her wedding silver from them, they'd engrave her initials for free. At which point she asked him, "all my initials?" and he, getting a clue that there was something up, asked her what her name was. At which point she rattled off the ENTIRE name, which shut him up.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I am intrigued! I know your first name means "princess"...
Middle name is Hebrew for "bound" and last name is German for "farmer," more or less. So... princess bound to farmer.
Want cupcakeses, preciousss.
