L'Shana Tova to those who celebrate!
I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So where does that put you?

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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've never had any of the "As in...?" last name issues. As far as I have ever been able to tell, every person in the world who shares my last name is related to me.

Apparently a lot of people hear "Tommy" over the phone when I say my name. This is probably contributing to the ongoing phenomenon of people thinking they're talking to a guy. I rarely correct them, because it's not worth flustering them.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
L'shana tova!!
People frequently think my name is Sam on the phone, due to the elision of my first and last names.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I used to get a lot of "Karen?" "Anne?" but Erin is a heck of a lot more common than it used to be.

Ann, that's a ferret.
We're moving very close to that building next year. Our building has recently been remodeled. I think that's a good thing.
I'm occasionally mistaken for Frank on the phone, and very rarely Bret. Nothing wrong with either name, but I'm a Fred. You know, like the second or third male lead in every forgettable movie from the '30s, as well as some memorable ones.
My last name is unusual enough that I automatically go to the spelling. And if I had a dollar for every time someone pronounced it wrong at first reading (it's a long "e," not a short one), I could probably put a down payment on Buffista Island. At least a starter island.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
I often get mistaken for Erin or Helen. It peeves only minorly, except in the cases where someone has known me for years and still gets the name wrong. On first hearing, I give it a pass.
