that is actually what my last name means in german. i wonder about last names, how they were chosen, stuff like that.

for instance, did steve’s ancestor own a pet snake? or maybe he was a snake-handler? or snake hunter? or maybe he ate snakes! who knows. if i could give myself a last name it would be Chocolate, because i eat chocolate everyday. actually, maybe it would be Reader because i love to read. or FakeLaugher, because i do a lot of that too. Brooke FakeLaugher. perfect.

i guess it’s hard to discern what is man-made vs. God-made to a 3 year old.

You Belong in 1984
Wild, over the top, and just a little bit cheesy. You’re colorful at night – and successful during the day.

i took this poll from my friend’s blog. i disagree. i used to daydream about living in the late 1800’s. i really wanted to be a pioneer man (not woman) who went west. giddy up!
