Question du jour
What name do you wish you had?
I've never much cared for my first name; I defaulted to my middle name in high school, fiddled with the spelling a bit, and gone that ever since.
I've considered changing it, and who knows---maybe I will one of these days. The two hottest contenders are Lillian, because it's a family name AND makes me think of 19th century BBW celeb Lillian Russell or Clancy, which has a completely different vibe. It's clearly Irish, reflects a female metrosexual image, IMO, and calls to mind Hayley Mills's character in The Trouble With Angels.
I seem to be on the cusp of reinventing myself; I'd like to see my 60s, thanks, and maybe even my 70s. It may be a matter of, who do I have to be to do the things I want to do. There's an 80s Oingo Boingo song that asks "Who do you want to be today?" that I've often asked myself while getting dressed. I think that's expanded to, "Who do I want to be for the rest of my life?"
