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.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh, definitely. I'd never seen the phrase before. I thought it was funny.

The drift from Vulcan Salute to Second Temple Judaism? The hand symbol for the Vulcan Salute is the gesture for the Priestly Blessing. Nimoy apparently thought it looked cool.

The name ebb and flow is a mysterious thing. I'd say the majority of the people I know who named their children names in the top 20 swore they thought the names they chose were not particularly common. I'm named for my mother, who was born in the only 10-year period when Virginia was in the top 10. She was, however, named for her grandmother.
Growing up, every class had more than one Michael, Robert and William. Unsurprisingly, I see they were in the top 10 in that era.
irreversible cardiac arrest
Otherwise known as death.
