You know, I believe it might be.

There must be 6,732 ways to spell "Ashley."

Oddly enough, one of them is Prtlwqmngprtxl.

tell me about it.

When I used to work clinic, every other baby girl-child was "Ashley Nicole," - there must be close to a billion twenty-somethings named Ashley Nicole. Makes me wanna vom.

I remember the first little girl I knew named Ashley. I babysat her once or twice. I thought it was cool but in my mind I'm like "that's a BOY's name, you never saw Gone With the Wind?" Years later, I knew a guy in the pro shop at the CC who was named Ashley and I wondered if he got crap for that...though he wasn't the sort of fellow anyone would probably want to irritate too much.

A boy named Sue.

I love my mudder for giving me an unusual middle name (even though for YEARS I hated it and no I'm not telling anyone here) because everyone's middle name is Ann or Nicole or Renee or Lynn or Marie.

Is your middle name "Number"?

Cleaning up my music collection and found an unknown Simon and Garfunkel track "By the Light" turns out that it is "The Boxer."

Someone tagged the song based on the "Lie, La, Lie" chorus.

I saw Super 8 today. I won't say anything about it...but I avoided reading anything because i like to be surprised.

Now that I look up supposed 'spoilers' I am laughing my head off. So far off base.

It was good enough for a summer movie. There were things about it I liked.

I will say that being the sort of person who stays to watch credits can have rewards.
