Neener, Neener!
 

I mentioned in another thread that my school refunded my entire winter's quarter expenses. So, yay to that!

then I see the guy who threw me out of class and HE HUGS ME--weird, huh? He also is letting me take a grad. level course even though I am just a senior.

weird.

Also, I went to a poetry reading. Woman poet. Guess, just GUESS what she looked like as in clothing, jewerly, hairstyle, etc. JUST GUESS. then guess her children's names.

hint---names begin with I, E, V and S.

Loose, flowing, natural fiber blouse and skirt, in earth tones, accented by quartz and turquoise jewelry set in hand-twisted silver wires...short, messy, hairstyle in natural gray, that has "a mind of it's own" ...and her kids are named Moonbeam, Sequoia, and Phoenix.

close. but think younger---she's 30.

And her 'earth' tone was black.

You can eat potato chips for breakfast, right?

yessss. but what's that got to do with my woman-poet?

Ok: She had on a long black skirt, black sandals, black top like a leotard, waist-long dark hair, a diamond in her pretty nose, a sparkly gypsy type scarf thing around her waist and she said things like,"during the full moon I noticed other women seemed very tired and OUR TIDES WERE UP," and a lot of stuff about coyotes and wolves and gypsies and Roma culture and tramps and thieves. (j/k about those last two) and she really irritated me.

She also had two tatts---one on the inside of each forearm---one looked like a sun symbol. Whadday bet the other was a MOON symbol? Cool, huh?

She was like Disney's version of a witch/mothergoddess/gypsy.

Perhaps I am jealous.

As long as you aren't envious.

was her name Mrs Webb?

So, the dick teacher gave you a hug, and you didn't use the opportunity to knee his testicles up to his throat??

Maybe I just hold a grudge too long.

Was that your 4th grade teacher?

No, she has one of those hypenated last names coz, you know, she's a wolf spirit.

He held that part of himself back a little.

Hey! I resemble both of those stereotypes. At once.

No moonbeams, though.

She was a Willow wolf spirit, in tune with the Moon Tydes of Wymynkind all over the World as we Are One with the...blah, blah, blah.

She was pretty, slender, talented and had hair. What's not to hate?
(tho those kids of hers are gonna be pretty pissed off if they don't make it in Hollywood: Skye, Indigo, Violet and Elijah. Oh, yeah.

But I like the kids names, sorry, especially Violet. Except for Elijah.

I hope her kids become accountants.

*jealous jealous jealous*....but, not envious.

Now see, I really like Elijah.

I like Violet and Elijah.
Skye is an island. Indigo is a lesbian (nothing wrong with that, just saying).

But she's young and pretty and has 4 kids and is reading her poetry in public. I don't like her.

SEE? Sundae just gets me.

It's more the combination of the four fantastically pretentious names in a row that rather gets my billy goat-gruff up.

Yabbut you couldn't have skye, Indigo, Elijah and Fred could you? Fred would get a complex!

My siblings have normal names. I'm the anti-Fred in that equation.

OK, so now I know i really live in Hippytown USA -those are perfectly normal names roung here. I know kids with all of them. Several Violets and Elijahs. At least two Skyes (one male, one female -both with the e on the end) but only one Indigo I recall.

Could be worse -could have been Indigo, Violet, Magenta, and Puce. or Mulberry. Or Orchid. Or Heliotrope. I think I may need to have another kid just to call it Heliotrope. How many more kids to I have to have to give them all the cool/awful names I've found on here? I'm losing track. Radar?

Or if she'd done the full rainbow, imagine being the poor kid who gets "Yellow"

Are you the baby?

Yesss...

I'm surprised at Indigo. The other three have been ranked in the top 1000 names for decades, but Indigo never has been.

So...

there are a few current(ish) literary fiction novels with kids named indigo and...

there's the whole indigo children thing... it's a term for kids with esp-like "insight" whon apparently have an indigo aura

More like yuppie town.

Don't forget the Indigo Girls!

(I adore this song. Shame it's about something I don't believe in)

Enough with the names! Now, what about my pouting?

Pucker up and take a picture and then I'll comment :joylove:

Or Harmonium. Then he would have his own them song, Music for a Found Harmonium, or as everyone knows it 'that weird accordian song from Napoleon Dynamite'.

So you like her or hate her? Is this pot kettle black or
or you just want to get all of your humanity out in the open?

oh nevermind.I'm a better person living with my head in a bag. :headbag:

Young upwardly mobile? No, I wouldn't say so. Those are the people calling their kids John Smith IV Jr. There a good deal of smug satisfaction and sharing the wealth thing here, not so much of the upwardly mobile.

The hippies are in their 50's and 60's, the yuppies are in their 30's and 40's. They don't make either of them any more.

They do, actually. There are young hippies who have taken up the mantle.

Nah, they're shiftless ner-do-wells. Damn kids.;)

Pretentious Names for Poet's Kids
 

she shoulda called them Couplet, Prose, Sonnet and Doggerel.

Doggerel. that's going on my list too.... Dogarella? Dogarelle? D'Oggerel?

KD'Oggquerelle

You don't want to make it too easy to spell.

Is that the Gaelic?

Actually, we named the girl in Gaelic...

No, I think he was just clearing his throat

are you guys making fun of me?

I'm certainly not. :angel:

I'm not fully convinced that I should reveal that information to you... unless you kind find some way of persuading me...
