what I’ve been up to…
greetings!
alright, so I feel like I’ve been a little m.i.a from this blog… I think maybe I’ve just been having more “I should write about this” thoughts than usual
anyways,
I spent this past weekend tinkering with KiwiPunchDesigns’ website!
ch..ch…check it out!
www.KiwiPunchDesigns.com
the previous version was like this.
let me know what you think!
I feel like it’s closer to my ‘ideal’ website. But I dunno about the ad(s) on it.
There’s an option to upgrade to a paid non-ad version, but I don’t really want to do that.
I dunno if it looks really cheap to have a ‘this is a free website’ ad on the page….
oh, and I think it might be super slow…. hmm.
my to-do list for the site includes resizing some pictures since some of them got oddly cropped.
anyways,
A friend of mine does this thing where when she’s shopping or ordering take-out or reserving something, she uses a fake name.
I love this idea!
Even though I love my name (thanks parents!) I also love the idea of having a different random name, if even for only a few minutes.
The first name I wanted to try out was ‘Anastasia’. (fun!)
Though, for the past month or so, whenever I had the opportunity to use it, I was caught off-guard, and couldn’t remember it - all I could remember was “Afghanistan”! (Long word that starts with ‘A’…)
So after an awkward pause, as if I forgot my own name, I would say ‘Catherine’.
well, last week I went to Old Navy and was prepared!
(For those who don’t know, Old Navy has this annoying habit of writing your name on the change room door when you go to try on clothes….WHY do they do that? ugh.)
so this time, I had my fake name picked out:
I could be a ‘Roxanne’ eh?
So as soon as I told the girl she was like “oh! I love that name! When I used to play with my sister I used to choose that name!” (or something like that)
And then I felt bad for lying (lying?) to her about my name.
I didn’t really consider the whole deception aspect. bummer.
I guess I’ll have to really listen to people’s questions.
If they ask me for my name, I’ll say “Catherine”. If they ask me for ‘a name’ or ‘the name’, then I’ll say Roxanne or Anastasia. or Denise. or Ester…. Veronica? …Betty? haha
sing it Sting.
well, TMZ is on tv. which means that it’s way past my bedtime.
until next time…
