I'm sure I had the same experience that a lot of kids had, where the only time you heard your full name was when you were in trouble. I was named after my two grandfathers, one of whom I never knew. As I got older, more people used my first two names as one unit, and it bothered me so much that I began going by my initials in the mid '70s. Unfortunately, those initials were "J.R.", and when Dallas came on the air, I was branded for life.
So who is he?
He's my husband.
Well who in the damn galaxy ain't!

AS a little girl I wanted to be named Katherine,because I really anted to be called Kat.Now I really like my name ,it's unique and I'm never confused with anyone else.
The only other female Bryce I've ever heard of Is Bryce Dallas Howard & I'm not likely to be confused with her ! Although my mother's maiden name is actually Howard & I being close to her side of the family I always wanted to have my last name changed to Howard.Go figure.
Bryce

I was fine with my first name. I've always made friends with everyone else named David/Dave. It's just like an immediate bond is formed. In 1st grade there were three of us and we all ate lunch together etc.
My middle name is another story. I've never been a fan. It was apparently my great grandfathers name. Never met him or my grandfather on that side of the family. I am confirmed though and for confirmation I took the name Philip. So I guess that would have ben my middle name given the choice. I pretty much took that to be unique (it worked too the bishop was like "good name. I haven't seen a philip in a long time"). Strangely enough I ended up with a roommate by that name in college.

I have a mild touch of dyslexia that really pains me when doing any math but time and money. Might have held me back a smidge in the reading, but not much.
MSG- Please, no. Gotta put up with the theater crowd. Not the bad parents too. Oh yeah, on the special hell thing, gettin' kinda scared. GND seems to be hangin' out and asking alot of questions.
RugBug- Thanks. I like the, "Tell me how it ends" game. He seems to be gettting into the story tellin' alot lately.
Should this thread be "Imponderables: Reading is FUN-damental."?
I resort back to the name game Tristan and I spoke about. Switching first middle, and last names to introduce yourself. As much as I have griped about having all first names, I kinda like it.
MSG- WIsh I would have let my sisters dad adopt me. Kinda touched on a sensative spot there. There may be tears. Really.

I'm not quite sure what I wanted to be named, but I've always felt like I wanted to be a boy. Except, I don't want to do something wierd and become a boy.
Anyway, with the toilet, yes, I do read on the toilet. Continuing from toilet to reading, I am an avid reader. I attack Star Trek books with a fever... and then realize that OMG! it's 12:30 in the morning when I have to get up at 6:00.....
I read a Star Trek book in one day, then pick up one of the movie novelizations... and then... read that... and start another one, inevitably get to page 83 or some such, and fall asleep surely as someone used a safe word.

May not be smart, and it may not please you, but you're definitely gonna see what I have to say.

Well my father wanted my name to be Alexandria but my mom thought it was too long, but when I heard that could have been my name, I really wanted that to be my name. Thankfully I really like my name now.

*jawdrops* holy CROM how am I suposed to keep up????
IIIEEEE *screams and runs in circles*
Between my duties and bb's being a WoW class lead, work, wifely attentions, pettly attentions, and this...gah. Ok.er.. uhm...er...
So...er the funniest part about the bath episode was it finaly stoped foaming when I stoped hitting the button. Apparently it was something that had to sit for a few seconds before it starts to process the off command. I swear to god that Mrs G just disapeared in front of me under a mountain of foam before she finaly got out in a panic :D
Names: eh, I don't like mine especialy.. I'm one of those lucky guys with a 'girls' name.
GND: Questions eh? :) hey as long as it's light, fun, and enjoyable for both of you...think happy calm thoughts.
Everything else discused: my lord I can't keep track of that many things...brain... overloading....

Well, even now I can sometimes to for weeks without hearing somebody address me by name (my family and friends pretty much only use pronouns, now), and I don't have any particularly strong connection to the name I was born with. It didn't help that there were 15 other Ryans born the same year within 40 kms...
If I were to be renamed, I'd probably pick something starting with a 'J'. Jacob (big surprise there) springs to mind. Wouldn't mind goin' through life as Jack. Or James, maybe. Jeremy... Meh. Not a problem I can deal with now, though. I'm just glad I didn't get a really twitchy name, like Rasputin.
On the topic of baths: I love to bathe. Since acquiring a taste for it at age ten, I've always preferred having a nice, half hour (at least) soak after a long, aggravating day. Showers are only good for removing a day's stink; baths can scour away the stink, the skin it was hiding in, relax tense muscles, and get a body ready for bed all at the same time.
Of course, I'm lucky in that my house has a REALLY deep bathtub. It so deep that even me with my big-ole-belly can crawl in there, fill up on water, and get completely submerged. And on a cold day (which this forsaken spit of red dirt has in droves), nothing like a bath can make you feel alive again.

I ain't lookin' for help from on high. That's a damn long wait for a train don't come.
