So technically, JZ never graduated from high school....

Heh. My Dad knew a woman who had gone to college on an accelerated program without graduating high school. Then she went to law school on and an accelerated program without graduating college. Then once she passed her bar exam her state bar wouldn't admit her because she had no high school diploma -- so she had to get a GED.

twenty Stephanies,

woo! I had a class once with three Stephanie. We went by first name, last initial - Stephanie F, Stephanie J, and Stephanie M.

My entire elementary through high school years, there was never another student in the entire school with the same first name as me. There were one or two from other nearby schools who also did Academic Decathlon, and we'd always notice each others' name tags and say hi. I was the only Hillary, though; the others were Hilary.

I bought some earplugs, but didn't have to use them today, because officemate left about half an hour after I got there. And in that half hour, we mostly talked about Star Trek, rather than doing work, anyway. (Then from the Vulcan Salute, conversation drifted to Second Temple Judaism, but in an actual conversational and interesting way, not a weird personal questions way.)

I had an event here with two Taryns. Pretty unusual name, and even more unusual to have two African-Americans named Taryn. They became fast friends.

Oh, definitely. I'd never seen the phrase before. I thought it was funny.
