Bear with self a moment, dear blog readers.
Right after posting a list of books she wants to read after going over the Books section of The Wall Street Journal from the Saturday-Sunday, Nov. 23 -24, 2013 edition, self lands on Vulture.com
Yes, self’s idea of “me time” now is to google Suzanne Collins, author of The Hunger Games. How else would she have wound up on Vulture.com?
The site has a Hunger Games Name Generator. You put in your first and last name (Your real names), add your gender (Male or Female) and press “Submit.”
May the odds ever be in your favor!
The name generated for self is
EUNIA LASCIUS
The last name, Lascius, can refer to “Lash” — Lash as in Lash with a whip, like what happens to Gale in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
Or it could be “Lash” as in “Eyelash,” like those ridiculous lashes of Effie Trinket.
Self decides to try the name generator with her husband’s name, and the result is
GUNNAR RENFREWSHIRE
Now, with Sole Fruit of Her Loins’s name:
OTTO ELPHINSTONE
(If she adds son’s middle name, he gets a whole brand new name: GRIFFIN EDENTHAW)
This is soooo much fun!
OK, again, this time with Dearest Mum’s name:
MARTIAL ALDJOY
OK, with a fellow blogger’s name:
LILLYBIRD RUDOLPHINE
What about her best friend in college:
RUPALIA RIVENDELL
Now, the name of self’s Bacolod Nemesis:
MUSCIDA SPOTTISWOODE
Oh, jeez. Self has to hold her sides, she is laughing so much.
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.
