Day Two

Day Two: The meaning behind your Blog Name

Well, it depends on which Blog Name, so I will give a rundown of each.

1. Just Call me Monica Darling:  To those of you who do not know this, I was (cough, cough) am quite dramatic and spunky.  The story that perfectly relates these characteristics is entitled Monica Darling.  I insisted that everyone call me by my true name, Monica Darling, ignoring any other names.  My family tried addressing me but,oh dear, if they called me Monica or (heaven forbid) Mo, I refused to respond.  They would talk to the back of a short, chunky lil girl with an underbite until calling me Monica Darling.  So, the message of the story: If you want my undivided attention "Just Call Me Monica Darling".

2.  The (future) Payne Parade:  So, as mentioned in my earlier post, I am engaged and will become Mrs. Payne.  That day is still 5 months away, but seeing as it took me about a year before updating my blog, I figured I would go ahead and change the name in case the hiatus returned.  Also, I chose Payne Parade b/c the last name Payne doesn't exactly sound super happy, in fact it kinda sounds like "pain"(yes, that was meant to be a silly comment).  To make it happier I went with the alliteration trend in titles - P.P. - and added Parade to the end, b/c who doesn't love a good parade?  Candy, family, community, corny floats, etc.  Sounds pretty perfect to me!

So, there you go!
