Okay, this must be enough to urge me in finishing the book.

Although, I must admit I'm excited for the next Harry Potter movie!!! Finally, it's going to be out soon!!!

Just trying to re-live this journal...
Long weekend was a bliss hope there's another one soon! 

• Thursday: Skating with skating friends the late dinner with colleagues (Yeah, yeah.. missed PCD. :x) 
• Friday: Celebrated Father's day, dinner with family (I wasn't the only one confused on the date!)
• Saturday: Non-skating day with skaters. Dinner + dessert and whole lot of stories shared until wee hours of the morning but it doesn't seem enough! Haha.. Then crashed at my sister's flat then late late night stories shared with her.
• Sunday: Sunday driving with family and Mass + take out dinner with dad, waited for my mom at home.  :)

If I feel productive, I might even start to post personal pictures here. =p

I just realized how boring Vox can be. Non-Vox members cannot leave comment. Neither I can put chatterbox at the sidebar. I'm lonely there but I can't deny that it's easy to use. They have a really simple but nice page layout and really easy to post pictures. I just hope they'd allow non-members to be able to comment on entries!

I've been wanting a DSLR eversince I think I bought my own digicam. And always looking for Netbooks whenever I pass by an electronics center. I also badly want the new nokia 5800 that I even plan on how I could save up money for it. But today, I found the courage not to buy any of those things.. I just hope I could hold my urge for as long as I can. First things first. I want to save up to visit my sister or travel with my parents and something else.. I won't say it here yet unless I already have it. I really hope I could get it late next year or early next year. That would be sweet and the greatest gift for myself! Of course without sacrificing anything to help my parents or feed Axel, the cat. =p

Ditched the skating and the plan to go to the salon. Instead watched TV until 4am and slept for almost the rest of the day then watch Pearl Harbor with my parents and played with our kitten, Axel. Call me a loser but it was my first time to watch it and despite the superb effect, it was really a sad movie. Note to self, need to refresh knowledge on History. Haha. I wonder why Josh Hartnett isn't that popular nowadays. Ben Affleck still is and so is Kate Beckinsale. All three of them were really good.



Quickpost this image to Myspace, Digg, Facebook, and others!

Finally joined the bandwagon and signed up for Twitter. I never saw the relevance of it until I saw it on Ellen and skyllo01 mentioned you can follow celebs on it. I thought that'll be pretty interesting when you're bored or in my case, when I feel lazy but felt like surfing the internet. Haha. Not that I didn't have enough social networks to update! =p Or or when I'm online somewhere else where I don't have access to my personal files.. Oooh I just love the internet like that. Haha.

So much for blogging often. Haha. Anyway, I guess work will finally be as what I wanted but it wouldn't be easy. I let go of it this weekend though. Last friday, I went out with my friend to this postcard-thing event. Lots of creative people. I wished I'm good as them! =p Had a good time catching up with my friend. Then on saturday, attended this seminar for the choir. Of course I was later but this time I intend to because I badly don't want to go but seemed like I have to so I did. I guess it wasn't as bad since I learned other do's and don'ts on Holy Week and I realize how I would spend this Holy Week. I wouldn't think it was boring this time. When I was little we would spend the week with my sisters coming home at lunch from a retreat or when my sister will come home from a Mass after seeing her in a choir from the TV then we'll have a sumptuous lunch. We know meats aren't allowed but my dad would cook best seafoods. Then me and my mom would go to church in the afternoon. My Holy Week has been this way when I was growing up. But I felt like it gotten boring this past few years when we could't really participte in the activities anymore because of the kids. I realized how I missed my sisters family. So this time I would spend it with my family however they want it to be as long as we're together.

After t he seminar we went straight to my sister's unit to hangout. My BIL was out of town so we accompanied my sister. =p Ohh, I love my BIL's new laptop! I also love the fact that I can surf the internet with facing the TV while lying on the bed. Talk about being lazy! Hahaha...

And today, a really weird thing happen. I fell asleep last night and when I woke up I thought it was already 4pm. It wasn't really surprising since I had a history of sleeping for long hours but when I really woke up I thought it was 6pm already! And realized it was only 12:30pm! The clock beside my bed was turned upside down! Haha! I was happy I didn't miss a day but was guilty of missing yet another choir service. :x It was also nice that I get to practice driving when we went to the hospital for my dad' check up. But I got lazy to skate. Hehe. I hope I can skate tomorrow. =p

Anyway, I've finally watched the American version of My Sassy Girl. I don't hate it but I didn't like it that much either. I love the original version way much better. I just thought they would have tweeked the story more to make it look like original.. because some scenes weren't really fit for an American culture. But Jesse Bradford's really cute. And they look cute together. Hehe. But the girl, I also hope they kept the original girl's pretty long hair. =p

One of the funniest but embarassing thing happened to me today. Right after the general assembly the photography club I was in, I hurried outside to meet my friend only to know that she wasn't there yet. I bid my time while waiting to check the stores ( I first checked a couple of stores to canvass for the price of the cellphone I wanted ) then headed to National Bookstore to spend the rest of my waiting time. There wasn't much book around at the bookstore so I just scanned titles while waiting for my friend. When she finally texted me, I immediately went out of the bookstore but then the guard hold me off because their alarm went off. It was my first time ever to be hold off by the guard because usually the alarm system doesn't work well and goes off at the wrong time but this time it did. And so the guard checked my bag, I nonchalantly showed him my bag knowing I didn't stole anything. But then he saw my book, the book I just bought. It was just newly opened the day before and I haven't removed the price tag yet. Turned out there was a missing book from their inventory so I was asked by the security, cashier and a couple of sales lady. I didn't mind since I was sure I didn't steal it. Good thing I didn't throw the receipt yet, the problem is I had to ask my parents to bring the receipt. Good thing the store manager was kind enough to ask me questions and suggested that I ask for the receipt referrence number for them to trace and confirm the purchase instead of bringing the receipt over. Funny thing was when I asked our helper, she gave the wrong referrence number so I asked them to bring the receipt over instead. Good thing the manager suggested again for the receipt to be brought to the bookstore nearer our house and they can fax it to where we are. When I called home again to ask our helper to bring the receipt over, she confirmed the referrence number. Of course the cashiers didn't trust us and still ask us to bring the receipt just when the manager confirmed. In the end, it all turned okay. Just had to ask our helper to come back the house and I could go.

Lesson learned, immediately remove price tags of the items bought! =p

Went home early on a friday night. Not that it's unusual for me to go home early on friday's. When I got home I felt a bit tired even if I did nothing at the office! Speaking of office today was unusual.. we had a free breakfast at our team then at lunch, a general assembly with free lunch and a pizza from old team as snacks. Nice noh? =p

Anyway, when I got home I fell asleep immediately and woke up at 2am! =p I thought of checking my mail for tomorrow's general assembly details in a photography club I'm in. But then I saw this,

Finally! Yay! I thought their team up would never happen again! I'm not a very big Vin Diesel fan but I like him in this movie. And Paul Walker? Gawd, he's an ultimate hottie. I realized why I don't fancy any celebrity right now and here he comes and I get all giddy at the thought of seeing him again in this movie! I'm just glad they're finally back and it was said to be shown sooner! :D

And I also saw this, Tinted Windows, a band composed of Taylor Hanson with a lot of other bandmates and not his brothers. And I don't think I like their music. I hope there will be a comeback for the Hanson Brothers. (Yes, I made it sound like the Jonas Brothers. =p)

And now I'm contemplating if I'll stay online or sleeping back. I like to sleep again but afraid of not waking up on time.. Now that I said it, staying online sounded so tempting.. =p

I planned to skate today since we're still not doing anything at work lately and grabbed the opportunity to be able to go home early. But when I was on my way home, I got lazy to skate instead headed home straight. On my way home, I remembered I need something to be printed for office so I thought of dropping by the bookstore(I never knew there were gazillion types of printing paper out there!) Once I got in, I remembered why I love entering National Bookstore. It used to be haven for me and for my sister. I only had a few minutes left before the store closes and the place was almost deserted but I didn't feel the need to rush but instead feel relaxed with the environment. I like seeing organizers and school supplies, how your life can be easier with these things. I also love looking at the magazines.. and the books! I used to go there to buy books ever since Sweet Valley and some random books along with it like R.L. Stine etc. to Harry Potter Series and chic lits when I started working. But I haven't for awhile since I was relocated and no malls anywhere near it. So I was glad to see the books and immediately thought of "The Tales of Beedle the Bard". I've been wanting to buy it ever since I read about it that J. K. Rowling only made 7 copies of it and was then planned to be published for the public. And finally got hold a copy! I still think it's quite expensive for it's thickness. I just hope I would enjoy it's worth. I just wish I could read it sooner, I'm still up finishing Second Chance by Jane Green and next in queue is New Moon by Stephanie Meyer, need to read it soon since I just borrowed it. ;p

And a girl magazine, I've been meaning to buy a magazine for awhile. Just to have something to read about the fashion world nowadays, not that I said I was fashionable. It's an overstatement. ;p Also need something to feel-good about one self, I thought of buying MEG but then I realized it was too young for me and tried this one instead. I hope it's good. :x

Overall, I'm glad to have bought these things even if I was on a real tight budget. =p

Touch phones was one of the topics from our usual endless story-sharing awhile ago over dinner with friends after our skating. And now I've checked them, I really want a new phone! My phone is working fine but the casing is horribly chipping off and it cost P3, 000 just to have the housing changed. :x I don't have a budget for a new phone but maybe I'll try to save for one. This isn't going to be easy since I'm on a tight budget. With summer fast-approaching and of course, I still want to help out around the house. But then I can't stop myself from wanting these.. also the new Vaio! But 50k?!?! But I think the HP Mini note isn't that bad with it's price range of 20k.. I mean, EeePC and there's a couple of Netbooks available but I think HP and Sony's comparable than Asus or MSI. Oh I don't know.. It's not like I have enough money to get all these. I can only dream. =p

I've already told a couple colleagues about this but I still can't get it out of my system. I hope writing this down will help. On thursday, I was transferred to another project when the notice was only sent the day before. It's probably the next best thing for my career growth in the company but I'm sort of like caught in the middle since I don't want the feeling of leaving my previous project. I started to like the team (eventhough I'm not a big fan of the management) I learned to like working with the people in the team and I felt like it was all of a sudden that I'm leaving. Probably inside of me still wants to belong badly in the team but I never was but I've grown to feel I belong. But my lead was great, he was always patient enough with my questions yet gave me enough space to grow and then my sort-of like partner, we had a nice tandem with sharing work loads even if we're not close as friends. I think a part of me was still left with them since things happened all of a sudden and we're still not doing anything at the moment in my project. It's just weird I feel this bothered, I've never been this bothered over something work environment-related... it's been 2 days already. I just hope to feel better and move on when we start to be busy with the training next week. All I know is I'm going to give my all on this this time, wouldn't want to ruin this chance. This chance given to me that I've been waiting for a year already.

My sister said that the internet was my outlet.I realized, yes it definitely is! Well, tv and internet.. then third comes the books. I know I'm behind my readings and I wanted to buy a couple of other books but that's another story. Anyway, those are the reasons why I love staying at home. But lately I'm getting bored.. the blogs I usually visit doesn't have a frequent update. Because they're real people who live their life and post things that happens to them. I noticed how blogging became so popular that some people blog for fame, they write entries what they think would make them famous. That kinds of irritates me but then, it happens and the only thing I can do about it is don't visit those blogs. Haha. However, I like finding new blogs. Real people and real entries.. those stuff that happens about their life, share their life and excited about life. Travel blogs and food blogs are quite interesting especially if you know the person really likes travelling and likes to have some kind of memory about his/her journey and a food blog that shares his/her talent in cooking or atleast suggest where's the best place to try to eat. Also I love photography, so a photoblog isn't bad but travel and food blogs are stimulate my interest if it weren't for the great pictures. =p Among all those things, I've forgotten how interesting livejournal community is. So I did a friends cut. I'm pretty sure it wasn't big of a deal since the ones I cut are the ones that are not updated for a year or so or those who actually cut me off their friend's list. No hard feelings though, I also would want to keep a small list where I could visit them often but it's not bad to find interesting people around and add them to my list. =p

Okay, this one was easy. It's been a long while since I've last changed layout in lj and I forgot how to but S2 was easy. I've been wanting to change layout because my current layout was overlapping my entries plus it blocked the upper lj toolbar and it's annoying. Layout credit from scholarlayouts. I love the layout! So simple yet so neat and nice! I would have gone change the header but because I don't know how and I'm lazy to learn at the moment so I'm using the original one. Not that I don't love the original, I do. It just reminds me of a lot of pics I have taken. =p

And when I've finally uploaded the new layout and checked how it looked, I came across to see my profile. Wow, my lj is 5 years. F-I-V-E years! It seemed like yesterday when I'm too excited to see it turn 3 or something and now it's 5! And I still don't know how to make layouts or icons for that matter! Haha.. Hopefully soon, I'm having some progress with Photoshop. =p

My mom's coming home tonight from US. I don't know what I'll feel. I even felt sad for the first few days she was away but my dad did a great job accompanying me and just plain supporting me. I know I miss my mom and I need her but me and my dad had such a great bonding time (Also my sister and in-law too!) that I enjoyed my freedom and time I spend with my dad, I just really hope we keep it that way even if my mom's back. And also I'm worried my mom would hate being back, I hope she'll be fine. Also, I'm excited with my Zune. I hope I won't be disappointed. =p

These things that's happening now really scares me. No one is safe. :(


Are you one of the many people who have their heads hidden behind their cubicles hoping the latest economic storm will blow over? If so, you have a lot of company. However, hope is not a strategy. It is better to be prepared than to get caught in a landslide.
Below are five signs your job is in jeopardy.

Mergers and Acquisitions

Mergers and acquisitions can mean only one thing to employees: duplication. In all likelihood, there is someone in the other company performing a similar job to the one you have in your company. In the end, only one of you will be left standing. Never assume that person will be you.

Jaguars Become Rabbits

A clear sign that your company has fallen on hard times is when the president trades in his posh Jaguar for a Volkswagen Rabbit. He may be telling everyone he is making the switch to conserve energy. Don't believe it. This is a drastic cost-cutting measure. Your job may be next.

People No Longer Seek Your Opinion

You used to be the "go to" person when people were seeking advice on critical projects. Now they seem to go to everyone else but you. Do they know something you don't know? Has your name been added to the layoff list?

You Are No Longer on the Invite List

Your calendar used to be filled to the brim with meetings. Now you have time on your hands to sneak in a manicure. Yet, everyone around you seems to be constantly in meetings. If you've gone from being an "A Player" to barely being ranked, then it's a clear sign you are no longer indispensible.

Why wait to be escorted out the door? Now is a good time to see what else is out there.

Your Competitors Are Slicing Their Workforces

Constant pruning by your competitors is a sign that your industry is in despair. Take the airline industry. Grounded flights, decreased services, and a reduction in the number of travelers can only mean one thing to employees in this industry. More layoffs on the horizon. It's only a matter of time before your company jumps on board.

Don't be caught waiting for the ax to fall. Be alert and notice the signs that your ties with your employer may soon be severed.


Article from Yahoo!

I always get a bit annoyed whenever the blogs I read doesn't have an update, which I check almost everyday. =p Okay, this is an overstatement but still.. Then I realize my blog doesn't much have entries. Haha. Anyway, I've had a great time these past few days with my skating friends and hope to continue in the next days. Really fun but dead tiring activities. We went to have surfing lessons then skating (not a good combination in the same day if you want to get out of bed early) then we went to Manila Ocean Park and skated again. Today, I went to have another driving practice and went to office to attempt to work but there were no connection and instead went to my sister's unit and spend time with my sister. Tomorrow we're having lunch at my skater friend's again and hopefully skate with them the next day. =p

This blog and my multiply badly needs a new theme. ;x I've been wanting to learn how to make a website for the longest time, not that I don't know the basics. But I never seemed to have enough time to learn indepth webdesigning. Well, lately I don't find the need to since there's a lot of sites that offers drag&drop tools for you (like Multiply) But then again, I might pass the webcoding but I'll probably continue attempting at graphic designing. =p

I also wonder how blogging becomes really famous that people talk about it on tv. But sometimes people blog about something they think they'll be famous for, some blogs have long uninteresting entries but I found a few blogs that really interests me. Those kind that tells something about themselves like travelling and positive outlooks in like.. and also a bit about kikay stuff. =p

To delete a guestbook entry in Multiply just simply go to: http://yourusername.multiply.com/guestbook. Then voila!
Also, there's a pre-installed Snipping tool for Microsoft Vista. Unfortunately, they're not available on Home Basic, there seems to be a lot of not available on Basic. It was said to be a slightly upgraded version of XP (How come it's harder to use? =p) Anyway, I've found a screen grabber that works for Vista Home Basic. Thanks to this, I found MWSnap

Another article from Yahoo! Texts in these are my comments. I'm not a big fan of New Year's Resolutions but last year I made it a goal year and I had a great year. I just hope this year will be a rocking year as well. =)



Top Ten Resolutions Not to Make This Year
Here at Cosmo, we feel the same way about New Year’s resolutions as we do about rules — some are just meant to be broken. Here, ten things that shouldn’t show up on any Cosmo girl’s list of do’s and don’ts for 2009. Buzz up!
By Zoe Ruderman
Photo: Tamara Schlesinger
1. Quit your job and wait for a dream career opportunity to present itself. Recession shmecession.
Reality check: Suck it up and hang on to your gig for now. Appease yourself by taking a class or picking up a hobby that will make your résumé stand out, like learning a foreign language or starting a blog.
- This is one reality a lot of people are aware of nowadays. I'm just lucky I still have mine. Thank God.

2. Lose five pounds.
Reality check: Hot chicks like Jessica Biel, Beyoncé, and ScarJo are proof that toned and curvy is the new skinny.
- I guess that means gain five pounds for me. =) (At the right places though. =p )

3. Finally win back your ex-boyfriend.
Reality check: Move on. We give you permission to engage in some rebound relationship therapy.
- I've moved on and have let go and it's great! =)

4. Buy into all the latest trends.
Reality check: It’s okay to be a slave to fashion...just be a slave to cheap fashion, rather than dropping serious bank on each and every look. Kick yourself later for wearing it, but don’t kick yourself for blowing your paycheck on it.
- Okay, I want to look trend professional (even on dressdown days) nothing that will say arrogant or lousy and definitely not pricey!

5. Change your man.
Reality check: While some relationship tweaking is to be expected (hey, few guys are natural-born good kissers), if the words “fixer-upper” and “project” could describe your boyfriend, it’s time to get real.
- I'm looking forward to meeting him this year. Just meeting him, no jumping in a commitment. But then I don't want to get my hopes up.

6. Triple the number of friends you have on Facebook.
Reality check: Less time stalking your friends’ friends’ friends. More time catching up with buddies you actually care about.
- I'm a horrible Facebook/Friendster user, I almost never update it. I just check it less than five minutes. Multiply loyalist here. =p

7. Don’t eat any junk food.
Reality check: Cutting out all unhealthy food from your diet will most likely lead to binge eating, followed by intense guilt, by mid-January.
- I actually thought about it this morning. Doesn't mean I'm slim, gives me the right to eat fat and more junk food. My goal is never to starve myself yet eat something that cause less harm to my body. This doesn't mean giving up junk food totally. Balanced diet will be the key.

8. Watch less trashy TV.
Reality check: Zoning out and de-stressing for a bit every night with the help of good bad television is harmless.
- Whatever this means. You can't move me away infront of the TV, weighing TV and internet and a book. TV comes first then the internet and book. Plus I thought of practicing myself to help out around the house - not a new year's resolution. I've been thinking about this for the longest time. =p

9. Save more money.
Reality check: Let’s be honest. In this economy, we’re just happy to be able to pay our rent, gas, and credit card bill.
- Again, whatever it is said here will be ignored. I'm determined to save more money nowadays! =) That is without sacrificing the bills to pay, everyday living expenses and helping out to parents. I'll just have to keep thinking of ways to save not actually cutting out.


10. Keep your number down.
Reality check: Nothin’ wrong with notches on your bedpost, as long as you’re being safe.
- I'm not really sure I understand this right. But if it means having more sleeping time. I will definitely have proper hours of sleep which takes me back to #7. But if this means going out, I'll definitely go out more with friends. As long as it's nothing risky/dangerous and will make my parents worrried about me. =p

I got this from Yahoo! And I never knew Tori Amos and Led Zeppelin isn't a real name. You know how a name can be really weird nowadays or just I never really gave it much thought. Atleast Tori Amos kept her surname. What got me reading this is that I was almost sure I'll find Beyonce for her Sasha Fierce but it wasn't in the list! Also, I thought how some artist could artistically come up with their fame-name from their nickname. Aside from Kid Rock, I've never even heard the rest that was mentioned! I wonder how they come up with the names it wasn't said in the article. I'm contemplating whether to like the name McKinley. I never knew it could be a name, I thought it was a surname or something. I also thought Barack's quite witty with the reason of keeping his name.

Real Names Be Proof--Would These Ten Stars Have Made It With Their Real Names?
Posted Fri Dec 26, 2008 11:08am PST by Rob O'Connor in List Of The Day
As Barack Hussein Obama joked that obviously the parents who named him never envisioned him running for President, it's pretty obvious that plenty of others were born with no vision to their future careers either. But unlike Barack who has since forged his path to the highest office in the nation without changing his name, these folks chose a path of lesser resistance. Can't say I blame them. If high school kids the world over are going to write your name on their school books, you want to give them a fighting chance.
For every kid who ever scribbled LEAD ZEPPLIN on a book cover, there was another who spelled Ray Manzarek's name right every time! Now that's a fan! And while it's sad to suggest that Tori Amos fans might not have been as excited by their fearless leader had she stuck with Myra Ellen, I can't help but think "Tori" works as a better calling card.

Here are ten worth contemplating:

10) Flavor Flav--William Jonathan Drayton, Jr.: I just don't hear a track called "Cold Lampin' With William Jonathan Drayton, Jr." having quite the same cache. To say nothing of his Flavor of Love program. What? Dating the Drayton?

9) Meat Loaf--Marvin Lee Aday: I'm not thinking Meat Loaf was much of an improvement. I know the man's a big man but do you want to draw such attention? But what do I know? I haven't sold ten records never mind the millions this man turns with each installment of Bat Out Of Hell. But I still think Marvin Lee Aday at least has a rhythm to it. Unlike some other less fortunates on this list.

8) Momus--Nick Currie: Even with the snazzy one name, Momus hasn't become a household name. And you know why? Because there's one mass conspiracy against this guy. But it isn't from those of us here at Yahoo! who have it written into our contracts that we will mention him at least once a year or else be forced to attend a "sensitivity seminar." Those things are bogus!

7) Muddy Waters--McKinley Morganfield: The weird thing about blues musicians is that their real names are often just as cool as the ones they adopt for fame. Muddy Waters is a classic. Imagine trying this today. What do we have now, Kid Rock? McKinley Morganfield sounds as if his parents were thinking their child could run for President. Had he lived another 100 years, it might have happened. It's all about timing.

6) Kid Rock--Robert James Ritchie: With three first names, Kid Rock might have had a chance. But Kid Rock says SHOW BUSINESS. And while he's now no longer a kid, he still acts like one whenever he gets a chance. Which in the dwindling world of rock ‘n' roll means quite often. Had he gone into law, he would've been forced to behave in a professional manner and shave regularly.

5) Johnny Thunders--John Anthony Genzale, Jr: Back in the 1970s, kids grew up wanting to be rock stars. Unlike say Kurt Cobain, Johnny Thunders had no qualms with standing in the spotlight and asking for drugs, women and anything else he damn well wanted. That's why he became a rock star. Not to preach about some higher form of developed existence. But to act like a jerk and get away with it!

4) Tori Amos--Myra Ellen Amos: Actually, I think it would be really cool if she had kept the Myra Ellen thing going. It would make her seem even more seductive, like those librarians who wear their hair up in a bun with those glasses but who once you get a few Alabama Slammers down their throat turn into...well, I don't know what actually happens. I've never gotten that far. But I hear it's really swell!

3) Perry Farrell--Peretz Bernstein: Mike Farrell was on MASH. I suppose that's where Perry got the inspiration. Others tell me it's some kind of pun on "peripheral" but that doesn't make much sense. It's not like Al Cohol. Or even Moe Hawk. Then again, some rockers aim lower than others.

2) Pat Benatar--Patricia Mae Andrzejewski: Polish girls got it bad. All those consonants and syllables just waiting to be misspelled and mispronounced. That name has housewife written all over it. Pat sensed this. Even though this would have ensured that she was listed under A in the record section, Andrzejewski is a disaster, career suicide. If you're going to fail, at least let it be because of crappy songs, mismanagement, bad record label deals, the usual stuff. Not because no one could spell your name right.

1) Siouxsie Sioux--Susan Janet Ballion: Yes, punk rock meant reinventing yourself. At least she kept the "Sue" part so she'd know when people were calling her. If you choose a name too different from your actual name, you'll just end up ignoring everyone. And that kind of defeats the purpose of having a name. You're supposed to respond to it. Even if you are a rich, snotty rock star.
