Names I Like...
1. Wendy
2. Talulah
3. Peter
4. James
5. Emma
6. Katelyn
7. Harry
8. Braille

Names I Like But Would Never Name My Child Due to Nicknames...
1. Franklin --> Frank. Ulk. Sorry, Dad.
2. Anthony--> Tony. Sorry, Mom's side of family.
3. Charles--> Charlie

Another Reason I Would Never Name a Child Charles...

I don't believe in cruelty to children.

Homehomehome!
I find myself stretched a little thin. I need to figure out how to compartmentalize and still do what I want/need to do. And enjoy myself. Which shouldn't be a problem.
I'm thinking of getting a twitter.
I seem to be irate about things I have no business being irate about. I have a bad habit I really need to get out of.
I tried to make an awesome spectrum of hair colors, but then my downloaded freeware and I had a disagreement...
I really enjoy being home. :)
