M...Here's my dorky name moment from childhood.<br /><br />My friends and I used to play school, and I always insisted that the first step be writing the names of our students. So we'd each get a piece of paper and write 20 names, first and last. Then we'd stand up and take roll call.<br /><br />And then we'd usually stop playing school. It was the name generation that fascinated me. <br /><br />I have no idea if my friends loved or hated that game. But I wanted to play it constantly.<br /><br />Unfortunately, I have no proof of my dorkiness. All class lists have been discarded.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464201653179922615.post-37314108113131218192008-10-26T12:31:00.000-04:002008-10-26T12:31:00.000-04:00Ha!

I keep the realy interesting ones I come across, but never seem to use them because a character already has a firm identity in my mind when I create them, or I use the social security website to get more current names. email spam is usually good for names, especaiily if you need last names.srublehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09258955808195282768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464201653179922615.post-17000171683374166142008-10-24T22:48:00.000-04:002008-10-24T22:48:00.000-04:00You and Thor RAWK!

While searching through copious amounts of childhood memorabilia I recently discovered several copies of the newspaper I published (that lasted about 3 weeks), canceled checks that were issued from my bank (I was not FDIC insured), and a notebook that was labeled ENCYCLOPEDIA. Apparently I thought the Encyclopedia Britannica wasn't doing a good enough job and started my own. I got as far as a caves, dinosaurs and a construction paper model of a human sketelton with internal organs. Where do I fit on the Dork scale?
