Photobucket is weird.

Ok, you know the last batch of twinkly icons I made? Well, two of them showed that Ginny's nipples were erect. She was wearing a shirt, but you could see that they were perked up. Photobucket took them down, saying they violated the terms of service. Just those two. Now, one of them has been restored, and one is still gone. What the heck? They are almost EXACTLY THE SAME! One is slightly darker, and slightly closer - and that's the one they restored. I do not understand those people. First off, how are clothed nipples indecent? Secondly, what's the difference between one and the other. It's the same picture! In the grand scheme of things, this is not a big deal, but honestly, what is wrong with people? And how exactly did they notice these two particular icons out of the masses of stuff saved on that site?

Random question: Does anyone on my flist read 'Diminished' by LadyRhiyana? Didya see the new chapter? Didya? Didya?



Are you named after anyone? If so, explain.
My mom was inspired by Katharine Hepburn and Kate from the Taming of the Shrew. My name is spelled Katherine, though.

Do you have your children's names picked out already? If so, is there any significance?
Nope, my daughter's been wandering around nameless for years now. We just say, 'Hey, girl!' and she usually knows we mean her. *snerk*
My daughter is Meredith Theresa. If she'd been a boy, she'd have been Jonathan Shane (which, if you break them down to their origins, translates to John-John). I've had a host of other ideas, though. It's lucky that James and I haven't had any children together because we can't agree on anything.

If you were born a member of the opposite sex what would your name have been?
I doubt I really want to know. My mother would've named my eldest brother 'Kye Oliver' if my dad hadn't stopped her.

If you could re-name yourself what name would you pick and why?
I dunno. I like Kate pretty well.

Are there any mispronunciations/typos that people do w/ your name constantly?
With Katherine, there's always the K or C issue, and the 'erine' or 'ryn' issue. People could muck up my maiden name like nobody's business, though. Vail. Four simple letters, and yet people had the hardest time with it.

You can IMAGINE what I went through with URSULA!! I still do. One of my in-laws never could get it right and ended up calling me Erica ... o.O One of my church members did the same thing for the longest. After 7 years now, she is up from Erica to Ursler. I have faith in her :)

and on and on and on... XD! My mom said when I was little I came home fussing one day asking why couldn't she have just named me after my Aunt Susie..."Nobody ever gets Aunt Susie's name WRONG!" hehe! Mouthy chicken back then, too! ;)

Hee! When Meredith was two, she was a mascot cheerleader. There was a girl named Ursula on the regular squad, and she was the prettiest of the bunch. Somewhere I have pictures...

*giggles at Photobucket* Wtf are they thinking over there?

I love that you are named after Kate from Taming of the Shrew. That is one of my favourites! My middle name (Jae) was my mom's favourite aunt, I think, but my first name was just random. Sort of, anyway. And Mom refused to entertain the idea that I could possibly be a boy. So I would have been NoName if I'd been a boy! Hee.

Yay! Now I know what the J in AJ stands for! Not that I think I could ever call you that. You'll always be Lys. Which, I might add, is a fabulous nickname - even though I used to pronounce it wrong in my head.

[stellarlyssa.livejournal.com]

Hee. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how you knew my nickname is AJ and then I remembered it was in a meme somewhere. Lol. It's mostly only family that uses it now, family and really old friends. Lys evolved because apparenly Alyssa is just too long to say. *eyeroll* I like it better now, though, so I'm not complaining!

I've always wanted to be named Katherine. My mother, in her wisdom, named me Peta - you can't imagine the number of times people have spelt it Peter.

(My elder brothers wanted to call me Blake, after Blake's 7.)

Peta is pretty, but I feel your pain re: the conversion to a boy's name. My middle name is Denise, so Dennis was a common error.
