I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Haha, my name today would be Melanie - that's my sister's name (before she changed it, but she didn't change it much).
And my '70s name would be Debbie - a couple of coworkers told me a month or so ago that they thought I was more of a Debbie than a Tamara (I absolutely disagree, I'm entirely a Tamara I don't know how they can think that). I like all my decade names, though. I should use them as aliases.

I would have been a Mabel in the 20s. A Sarah today.

I thought I only had a few gray hairs, until I had the sides of my head shaved. Turns out it's much easier to see grey hairs where you part your hair, and harder to see them on the sides...until they stick out like that. Hrmph.
I assumed the specific name was for the year of birth, but then the decade's rank would be different.
Good point. This is fun! My name today would be Lila. Which makes me think of Sweet Valley High! I dislike most of the other ones though--Jacquelyne, Simone, Beverly, Chandra (is my decade's me?) but then as you get back it gets better--Celeste, Helene, Marilynn, Renee, Lily, and then gets worse again--Gertie, Orpha, and Golda?? I also did my middle name (Catherine) and am very surprised at the results--I feel like it's a pretty normal name, but it came up with Martha in the 1970s? I don't remember knowing anyone my age named Martha growing up!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The closest I've seen is pictures of Kelly Osborne when she had like a gunmetal gray color going on - can't say I cared for that but it was a dull and blah color and silver sounds shiny and pretty.
Oh, it's basically like that, but pretty!
I assumed the specific name was for the year of birth, but then the decade's rank would be different.
Oh yeah, that actually makes sense.
You guys, I have been lightheaded all day and I think it's from stress and lack of sleep because I keep waking up in a panic and I don't like it. (Or, as Chris Evans and his nephew would say, I don't wike it.)

At this point, it feels like I have always had hay fever, and I never stop suffering from hay fever.
Also, sorry, but also GO DUCKS!
Not even mad about it.

My name would be Emmeline. Heh.

Plei, I think of what your response would be every time I see the tumblr post about naming kids after constellations is so much COOLER than boring everyday names!

Waking up in a panic is not good, Jesse! Is it due to things that are happening that you need to do stuff about, or is it without reason (which is almost worse)?
I think right around when I was born is about the only time my name even shows up on the SSA list.

I reblogged that once with the response of "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME???? FUCK YOU NO!"
I, err, may have said that to a panelist on a panel we were both on, in fact. "WHY WOULD YOU GIVE YOUR DAUGHTERS CONSTELLATION NAMES TO MARK THEM AS GEEK OFFSPRING??? WHY!??!"
