Tons and tons of snow tonight. By which I mean um...two inches? ish? is what I'd estimate it's up to now. Tripper is THE HAPPIEST DOG EVER. Nikka is THE GRUMPIEST CAT EVER. I am generally not pleased that Tripper keeps demanding I let him out - or sometimes just stand there with the door open so he can watch the snow fall and wag his tail.

rambly stuff )

Also still looking at names...

....okay, this is the problem with the no-scrolling thing. It isn't fucking going down. I can only see half of what I'm typing. Ugh.

ANYWAYS, I'm thinking maybe Tod Kurtis? I kind of like how it sounds. Hmmmmm...


EDIT: That is not the icon I selected, LJ...

Edit to the edit: okay seriously how do I select a different icon. Ugh this whole thing is broke.

Just wanted to let you all know that at [livejournal.com profile] outdatedclocks' suggestion I've made a dreamwidth to fall back on if LJ continues to get worse or gets eaten by Russia or whatever. My dreamwidth is [personal profile] tanzelt .

I thought about making it the same username as here but TBH I've been thinking about getting a name change for this one anyways over to tanzelt or something else, because this username is super old and everybody reads it as potato and I hate underscores. I WANT MY USERNAME TO BE STYLISH

Sorry guys I know I am posting so much today ;A; I don't mean to spam, got all excited about the electricity coming back and then my tarot cards

Anyways current names I am considering:

Cortland, Asher, Corwin

I have decided to stop worrying about sounding 'stereotypical', besides which Corwin may sound similar to my legal name but it isn't actually the male version of it by any means. Actually the male version is the same goddamn name just spelled Corin instead of Corinne. So there.

Still unable to choose but leaning away from 'Cortland' just because I can't pronounce it. LOL. I mean I have trouble with rt and nd sounds so I basically pronounce it as cor'lynn. Feel I should probably be able to pronounce my own name?

IDEK why I do these posts, there's nothing you guys can do to help me be a more decisive person, lol.

Maybe I'll ask my tarot cards. Once they finish purifying. I'm not letting them sit there for 24 hours I like them too much /impatient

It will stay in the window until I get home from work, that's about even sun and moon energy. Then will practice with Paige. In the meantime am looking up some spreads and omg so many awesome ones, have already picked out one of my china engrish notebooks to use as a tarot notebook and will be trying spreads and probably making up my own, I have ideas already

Since [livejournal.com profile] anobjectinspace got me thinking about it again, I am revisiting the issue of my name again.

I've been playing around with Cortland/Cortie the past few weeks and I still like it. But I want to look at other options. My shortlist has grown longer by a few names, most notably Asher, which I frankly like a lot, but I'm not sure how well it goes with my last name, which also ends in -er.

Well, no, TBH I do know how it goes with it. It makes me sound like a queer guy from cowboy country. Which may well be what I am, but I'm not sure it's something I want to advertise xD

Anyways, I found some naming tools that I have been enjoying. The first is babynamegenie's name test drive which just throws the name into some randomly chosen sentences and situations. TBH I would like to have a real test drive where everybody calls me by the name for a month or so ;n;

The second is the word mixer from unique-names, which has "a naque for unique names". Okay, this isn't really a tool. I mean, I guess it's supposed to be, but I'm just messing around with it xD I gave it the words 'dragon' and 'fierce' to see what would happen. Some of the masterpieces it came up with include "drgonrag", "drce", "ieragrag" and "fieieerce". All listed as three syllables. Genius!

Anyways, here is Vitas being a fish-man and shattering glass with his anguish. The most amazing part is he manages an expression other than smarmy jackass smile!



ILU Vitas, even with your much-limited range of emotions.

So I spent a lot of time thinking about this lately (and have apparently come to the conclusion that you guys care as much as I do about why I do the things I do). Basically, about why I acted the way I did on Saturday (spending most of my work breaks arguing with assholes on the internet despite the emotional stress it caused).

Are you liking the parentheses? I am thinking of concluding all of my thoughts with parenthetical clauses from now on (jk, jk).

Okay, srsface now:
Warning for brief mention of being suicidal )

So yes. That was a journey into introspection for me, which I thought some of you might find at least tangentially interesting.

In other news, I think I've actually narrowed my choices down to two names: Sydney and Cortland. I'm not going to rush into choosing though, since I learned my lesson last time after investing so much into Christian and then realizing I didn't like it at all. Although I think part of that mistake was my initial euphoria of 'OH MY GOD I CAN FINALLY HAVE A NAME THAT IS ACTUALLY ME'. As opposed to my current name which I just feel is something that people call me. Kind of like they're whistling at me like I'm a dog. Which is terrible, but I realized that's really how I feel about it, and it's why I'm not really participating in the ontdcreepy facebook page even though I want to...because obviously the only thing they have to call me by is my first name. Ugh.

Yes, I did just load this post with tags. Yes, they are all relevant.
