The moment I've been waiting for all my life has finally come!
No, I'm not engaged.
No, I didn't get an honorary Ph.D. Darn Universities don't know what they're missing.
And no, I didn't just sign the best record deal in history.
I'm a Large Mammal!! Whoohooo!! I'm so excited about this. I don't particularly enjoy being called "fatty," but this title will be just fine for my wee little blog.
Only problem is now that I'll be switching hosts, I'm hoping I won't go back to being an Insignificant Microbe or anything....that would be more devastating than...than...having John Kerry for President. Well...maybe not... but close! Real close!
I am so excited about my new blog. I have the artwork and designer all lined up.
I still haven't heard from many of you as to whether or not I should keep my name. Speak now or forever hold your peace. Please speak now. :)

Posted by: Jon at October 5, 2005 11:31 PMWhy not keep it? Thanks for stopping by and commenting, my comments section was messed up for a while and I couldn't see that you'd left a comment. Stop by often!
Posted by: Fred at October 6, 2005 03:52 PMWould a rose by any other name still smell as sweet? I think the Portia name is interesting but not that evocative (it may be that I just never kenned the reference). Did you have another name in particular in mind? Maybe something like "Emanescence" - a play off of your name and the word "evanescent" - a kind of sardonic blogging reference since the word means to dissipate like vapor.
Whatever name you go by I'll always recognize it as a friend.
Ah, and would a Mammal by any other name still smell? Congratulations from a newly-minted Marauding Marsupial.
Posted by: Night Writer at October 6, 2005 08:47 PMMr. Writer,
I love "Emanescence!" I'm going to have to think long and hard about that one. Hmmm... hey, scripture does say "we are a vapor."
I'll give you full writing credit if I go with that one. :) Great suggestion.
Oh, and as far as Portia. She is my favorite Shakespearean heroine. I've always wanted to be like her. But it's not a super cool blog title.
Posted by: Portia at October 6, 2005 11:59 PMFrom the time you took your first steps in life, you purposed in your heart not to follow the crowd, seek after popularity, be part of any in-group, conform to fads, fit in, be a people-pleaser or any kind of wanna-be. And that is a huge part of what makes you the delightful and outstanding person you are today.
So, just because it’s not cool, keep the name.
Love, Mutti
