You don’t look like no Holly…

7/10/2005

I went to Wings n’ Thangs for lunch with my co-workers. I ordered the 5 strip chicken meal with hot sauce AND barbecue sauce, as recommended by Sam. I handed the lady my check card to charge my meal and she looks up at me and says “You don’t look like no Holly…” So I asked her what I “looked” like, and this bitch said “You look like a Diane.”

:confused:

First of all, who the fuck EVER looks like a Diane? The only people that look like Diane’s are existing Dianes – old white ladies that have had that name all their life. That’s who. So I told her that I could have been an Earlene or Earla, and we concurred that Holly was the better of the options.

Diane my ass…

Which brings me to the question… if you could have picked out your own name, what would you pick? I’ll have to think about this one and get back to you in the comments :)

    I like my name, and would keep it. With the exception of my middle name "Otis". When people hear that, they cry with laughter. This little known titbit of information has now been made public to everyone I work with since alltel took over, the use it in my email address justin.o.shore@ I tell people I’m Irish (which is true). I wish I had some normal middle name like Robert. That way ppl could call me JR, and people would laugh and say "Who shot JR?"

    Well, I was on the verge of wanting to change my name legally to just Christine as the first name, no middle name. But since that takes too much work I figure I’ll stick with Eartha. Everyone who has ever said anything about my name says "I like it, it’s different". And at this point in my life, I don’t really care. Anyone who really knows me calls me Tina anyway and you better stop with all that Krissi nonsense!

    :O I was going to be a "Grace". Me, a "Grace"! That would have been all sorts of false advertising. There is nothing Graceful about me.

    Well- if it were up to my dad, and I was a boy- I would have been named Buck. I am just glad they didn’t end up at Buckette since I was a girl.

    [...] My sister’s name is Eartha. However, her nickname since the beginning of time has been Tina – because her middle name is Christine. So, over lunch one day, we were talking about how I was supposed to be Earlene, and how “Tina” as a nickname didn’t make any sense, since it’s “Christine” and not “Christina”. So, I put out the idea of “Chrissy” as the new nickname. But it can’t just be plain ol’ “Chrissy”, it has to be spelled super cute, like a real Chrissy would spell it – hence Krissi. So, in previous and future blogs, when you see me refer to “Krissi”, I’m talking about my sista. [...]
