A random, frivolous post.
I think it's tragic for people to mispronounce their own names. I mean, you can't help it if you're born with a short tongue and end up pronouncing "Leticia" as "Le-kee-sha" or something. But isn't it tragic if you can help it but you don't care anyway, since everybody calls you that way? I think my name's such a name. I seriously doubt that Chloe is meant to be pronounced as k-lo-ee as opposed to k-lo-eh. Then again, the little thingy above the "e" isn't registered in my birth certificate, so maybe not But what about names like "Javier"? (Name popped into my head because of a blog I was reading. A blog that does not belong to an NYJCian nor a friend of an NYJCian that I know of) A long long time ago, I knew that name as "har-vee-air", which, I believe is the correct pronunciation. But sometime ago, I found myself pronouncing it as "jay-vee-er". It's kinda weird actually. Can you imagine everyone perpetually calling Kenneth "Keh-Net!"? So much so that even he himself introduces himself as keh-net. Now, that's weird.
Such a random post. I shall sleep away my randomness. Goodnight!

Oh yes, something random before I leave: I had so much fun with Adobe that I messed Kenn and my faces up. Yay (said in the Izzie tone. Too much Grey's.) Yay.
