It’s true. Today, I’ve seen some people’s plans for naming their kids and I…just don’t understand it.
First of all, what is with giving a nickname as a stand-alone name? One woman was deliberating between six or so names… Two of them were Rory and Max…for a boy. I told her to think of a 30-year-old man handing out business cards with the name “Rory” inscribed on them. Shouldn’t that be short for something? Same thing goes with Max. Isn’t that a nickname? Do parents realize that what’s cute now can be embarrassing later?
Another person suggested the name Zach. Not Zachary. Zach. I don’t know why this annoys me; it just does.
And then, the other things…One woman was asking for people to combine the names Michelle (her middle name), Lee (her mother’s middle name) and Jane (her sister’s middle name) into one name for her own child’s middle name. Really? I hope Mijalee is a good one, ’cause I think I’m going to submit it…

So, I’ve been hankering for Christmas for weeks and I’m about to go nuts, so I think I may organize a Christmas-themed party for me and my ((former)) roommates. Because, seriously, it’s gotten that bad, y’all. I made a Christmas playlist today and I’ve been listening to it for hours and envisioning it being cold and drinking cider. And, I watched The Muppet’s Christmas Carol last week. So, yeah, a Christmas party in October seems like just the thing. I’m more excited about this than I’ve been about anything in a long time, and that includes the day that I found out I could start dancing on pointe in January.
If anyone has mad crocheting skills and would like to crochet this hat for me ((in a different color)), I would be much obliged. Alternately, if you would like to buy this hat for me, I would probably squeal with joy.
Side note: the fact that Nick Jonas makes the same stupid face in every picture I’ve ever seen him in annoys the crap out of me. That is all.
