(no subject)

Everyone else is doing it, and since I'm such a trend follower....


What does your first name mean?
pure (pure what, though?)

What does your middle name mean?
consecrated to God (which one? don't know yet.)

What does your last name mean?
shepherd (I think, it could be sheep)

So what does your name mean when put together?
the pure and holy shepherd

What would you have been named if you were the opposite gender?
Thaadeus Augustus. It was also being considered for my brother. We're both much happier this way.

Any other name oddities?
Katy, various odd spellings of Cate (which everyone insists on spelling with a K, and a long lost penchant for changing it to other things like Rhiannon when there are too many Kates/Kats/Catherines about. And they were considering Cassandra Cerise, which I like, and Gwynydd (it's said like Gwyneth, for you non-Welsh folk). My grandmother vetoed that, saying she knew a Gwendolyn in college and hated her, and the name was too similar for her tastes. Pah. I would have liked having a name without vowels, and a good bloody reason for misspellings.

Do you like your name?
Sometimes. Not really. But I can't think of anything to change it to, so it stays.

What do you like best about it?
It's pretty, and sounds a little archaicly artsy, or something. Very simmple. Or regal, if I use the whole thing.

What do you like least about it?
too common. and people can't spell it right. Do you know how many spellings there are of Catherine?

If you HAD to change your name (witness protection program, whatever), what would you want it to be?
Gwynydd? No, probably Rowan. It's also simple, and non gender specific, despite common use as a boy's name. And it's a good, useful, protective tree. Very powerful magically, according to old Celtic traditions.

My life as a goldfish

so I'm actually enjoying the midterm second half for 2D. I have to take a photo of myself, and cut up magazine pieces to reproduce it in colors other than natural human ones. so I now have purple skin, and dark blue hair, and it looks really neat. parts of it look like they were painted, and it's rather pretty. It's the first project I've done that really looks good, and that I'd be willing to show anyone.

So life? I don;t know what it's doing. I've cut back on reading the news, so I don't know what's going on anymore. I have ordered all the appropriate transcripts to be sent to the proper places when they need to be there, and am more or less certain that I've done everything I need to for admissions, except for the student resume for the time I wasn't in school, which I should do tomorrow morning, along with depositing checks at the bank. Assuming they let me in, as it's on a military instalation, and there's a war going on. Don't ask me how we got a bank on a base, it's the credit union that Remy's job gave him, so we're kinda stuck with it until we leave. Which will hopefully be soon. I really want to leave this area. Aside from that, I think I'm just trying to recouperate from last week still. I was so terribly stressed then, and have not quite grasped the concept that I can breathe yet. I should stop doing this to myself. I think getting out more might help. On the other hand, it could make things worse, as I realize all the things I *should* be doing instead.

So I think I'll just go to bed instead.
