Something random I realized today.

[apocalypsos]

I know it's a cliche, but I can seriously remember my mother asking me at some point or another during my childhood, "Well, if everybody else jumped off a bridge, would you?"

As someone stuck with the most popular girls's name of the late seventies in a grade where the percentage of girls who shared that name rose into the double digits, if I had had any balls whatsoever, I should have snapped back, "Gee, I don't know. If everybody else named their daughter Jennifer, would you?"

Granted, if I would have had balls, I wouldn't have had that problem, but still.

:) I think that's hilarious! It's nice having a unique name, but wow... there could be so much fun had in having the exact same name as someone else!

It got pretty ridiculous, because aside from the name we were basically complete opposites.

(Just out of curiosity, what instrument did you play in band? I'm a band geek myself... percussionist.)

I play alto sax and trombone, though I "identify" more with the trombones. :) I am sure as a band geek you'll understand that. hehe.
