Xyla and Jynx? What are they, scrabble nerds who want the most points?
Hee!
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

I know, right? But Jynx now just means adorable little girl, so I expect Xyla will quickly do the same.

Oh, here's my favorite current name story: My cousin's baby is half Haitian, and her name is Solange. Apparently many, MANY Haitian women have told her how ugly that name is and how she should check with them next time. ("Such an ugly name for such a pretty girl!") I guess it's like the Hortense or whatever of Haiti -- not just an old lady name, but an unattractive old lady name!

Hah! Oh, that's pretty funny (but kind of sad. but mostly funny!)
I feel like slippers are a slightly weird (warm) gift in August, but I may have to get one of those Dr. Who things for my old roommate, whose birthday is in a couple weeks...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks, guys. I'm apparently scheduled for another interview on Friday for a company I don't remember applying for, and and I'm trying to subtly find out more about it--no dice.

That happened to me a bunch of times, ita. Including, I think, my current company.

Huh, I'm almost always barefoot (SoCal), so I only associate them with emotional warmth. But you probably have a point. Well, I'm just throwing out suggestions (because I'm a Helper, not Avoiding Work. Nope, that's not it at all.)

Difference between ita and me? She makes this look good.

Turns out Xyla is a Greek name meaning "Of the wooded land".
Of course, I learned this via someone correcting her father who said he believed it was a made up name. Hilarious.
