It!

1) Post a list of five things you currently love/like, and five things you currently hate/dislike. They can be people, places, things, ideas, whatever. Tag five people to do this - if you haven't, and you want to, have at!

Love/like:

1. Comments (Hint Hint)
2. Music. All things musical. I want my life to be like Once More, With Feeling; I want everyone to burst into song without reasonable cause.
3. Marriage. Mine, anyway. So so much.
4. Fresh air and sunshine. Not direct sunlight though. I hate having the sun on my face, or in my eyes.
5. Food. Especially fruit and popcorn. Not trail mix. That is a vicious rumor.

Hate/dislike

1. Back pain. My back is screaming at me, and I really want to scream back, STFU! My back and I, we are about to have a screaming match.
2. Sitting still. See above. Damn desk job.
3. Computer crashes, Service Pack 3, and wasted time in general.
4. Really boring names, like Bill or Richard. Mostly because I always thought my name fell into that category. I dig nicknames, especially earned ones.
5. See, I'm already back to likes. I'm not hatin on anything else at the moment. Although if you met me, you might not realize what a positive attitude I have. Complaining is my best sport.

I don't watch Scrubs, but I agree. I'm not looking to make everyone around me miserable. Or dead.

I couldn't come up with any decent nickname for Laura. Lor? Meh. I envied people like you, who at least had something to work with... Now I have Bubbles. I'm good with that.

That's brilliant. I was like, "I didn't know you could do that! Change both your names?" ...I guess I did know, I just never capitalized on that knowledge.

:) Thank you! I try to Let the Sunshine In. :)

See, I always loved my name because Laura has never been that common, at least around me (plus, I was named after my grandma, which added to the like factor). I knew tons of Laurens, but no Lauras. So Is liked that it wasn't odd, but not like Jennifer or whatever. But you are right that there is no nickname.

Maybe it was a wrong time/wrong place thing for me. In school, we always had to use last initials because there were so many Lauras (Laura B., Laura L., etc). I sometimes wished I had one of those crazy names like Shenquiwollo. I didn't have any positive role models with the same name, though. I imagine the sentimental factor makes a huge difference, with you sharing your grandma's name.
