Snippets of a Facebook life - The Great Name Debate

I promised y'all a selection of our Facebook conversations. In all seriousness, we're quite fond of each other, or as DB likes to call it "extremely biased". This would be the evidence from Kenny's comment. I trust the Kenny, but you can make your own decision.

And as for names, y'all know who we are, even if you can't pronounce them. Okay, mine, pronounce mine.

Dear DB's friends: I've heard lovely stories about all of you and am really looking forward to putting faces to names. Or FBs to names. Or screen names to names. Lots and Lots of names. Anyways, hi! Cordially ~ Rose

DB: Have you realized that if we ever put your friends and my friends in the same space, I'm going to be answering to at least three different names at once? And it'll all be your fault? Have you also realized realized your new girlfriend (^_^!!) expects you to address said issue and perhaps, idk, fix it? Just curious....

Now now, you are the one who managed to introduce yourself so many ways. I'd say treat all the names as nicknames; I know that I respond to at least 5 or 6 myself. Failing that we can come up with one universal name for me to introduce you to everyone as, Rosie, Rizwan, etc...which one would you prefer to use?

I'm the one? Did I expect the whole name thing to be an issue? No. Why? Because you weren't supposed to be introducing me as the girl you were very likely to start dating. So hmph *smirk, poke* that's totally on you, hun. Wait, do you think your people will actually realize that I'm the same person with a bunch of nicknames, and not schizo? Cause then it would totally be okay, and we could both be amused by it, esp when I forget what my name is. I mean, you're exactly the type of person to be dating someone crazy like that.

Yes you are the one, after all you signed e-mails to me with 3 different names in our first 3 e-mails. Why do you think I use your "different names" interchangably myself. You can hardly blame them for having you down as different names anyway. Oh and yes people will realise you are the same person with different names, many of us do it ourselves; how do you think I got so many nicknames myself :). It's fun to see what people come up with. Honestly I wouldn't be all that worried, the worst case scenario is we all get something to laugh at when someone doesn't realise who we are all talking about.

You might want to be careful about saying I'm exactly the kind of person to date crazy people though, after all who am I dating again?

I love how less than 24 hours into this, we're already having a tiff on FB. People keep wondering why I'm laughing in my corner. But I digress....fine, if you insist, I'll be plain and boring and uninteresting. And sign with only one name *rolls her eyes* but I still hold you partially response for all of this. On principle, and nothing else.

A crazy person. Who thinks you're the best thing since sliced bread. Just before olives and hairpieces. Besides, I make you look sane. Which one of us was chasing squirrels in a park in the pseudo-rain wearing a skirt, a blouse, pantyhose, and hiking boots? Most certainly not you!

Hey the whole less then 24 hours thing just makes this all the more amusing somehow. Good luck explaining to everyone why you are laughing in your corner.

Who in the world said you had to be plain and boring and use only one name? I seem to remember saying "I wouldn't be all that worried" about people remembering them all, and "yes people will realise you are the same person". Have fun with it all.

Best thing since sliced bread huh; I was going to settle for pretty darn good but I'll take it. As to chasing squirrels in a park during a drizzle wearing a skirt and hiking boots; thats not crazy just hillariously funny and amusing.

Ohh and don't make me look to sane I've got a reputation to mantain now a days. If I look sane some people might get worried, I am the guy who went up to a black bear and hugged it after all.

Anyway enough facebook I'm going to return to reality now. Good luck at work and feel free to call if you so desire
