Laxatives are fun! May 5, 2008
On Saturday night while eating pizza with my entire family my sister made a seemingly innocent comment. She informed my sister-in-law that I had posted a picture of her on my blog. Most of my family was unaware that I had a blog, but I can’t get angry at Erin because she had no way of knowing that and it wasn’t really a secret…I will just have to cut back on the F-bombs. So my dad asked how does one find this blog? My sister informed him that she had caught site of the title: Golightly. This is the point in the night when Hilarity ensued. Lindsey had just got her doctorate in pharmacy and my mom works in the medical field and they gleefully informed me that I had named my blog after a laxative. I know - it is quite the hilarious mistake. So I would like to clarify that I did NOT intentionally name my blog after a laxative. Instead, I named it after Holly Golightly - my favorite movie character. Wasn’t it obvious?! I always said that one day when I opened a fashion boutique I would call it Golightly. Obviously, this is no longer an option. I’m sure that Lindsey and my mom did not mean to stomp all over my dreams, but that is exactly what they did. Feel guilty yet? That’s what I thought.
Now I need a new blog title and I am completely stumped! I was thinking Ms. Megan Fancypants at first because I am fancy and sometimes (like right now) I wear pants. But it bores me. So unless my witty readers come up with something better that will be my new blog title. While you’re at it think of a new boutique name too!
I think I have stumbled on the new purpose of this blog. Readers do my dirty work for me. Please share: how will I apply my leadership class to my life? I need five pages - Start Typing!
I would never have thought your blog title is named after laxatives. I don’t think you need to change it…unless you want to. I like Ms. Megan Fancypants, I think it’s super cute.
How about Ms. Nopants? You’ll get a lot more hits that way.
I like Ms. Megan Facypants just fine! Although maybe there would be a little more pizzazz if you added “Extraordinare” to the end…
Jessica - Well, that’s comforting to know not everybody thought my blog was about laxatives.
rs27 - You are a Genius!!
Megan - I LOVE it! I am extraordinary afterall…
funny, I , too, always thought about holly golightly when I saw your blog. A laxative? Hmm. That could be metaphoric, if you look at it in that way. ;]
I guess for all “normal people” (in this case meaning people who AREN’T constipated and who AREN’T pharmacists), Golightly does NOT refer to a laxative! I certainly had never heard of it! I of course connected your blog title to Holly Golightly. In any case, though, that’s pretty funny.
what’s with all the weird characters from people commenting?
How about Go Lightly Bitch?
Too much?
Apricot - I’m starting to think I might leave the title at Golightly. Screw all those pharmacists out there that think of it as a laxative.
Angela - I’m really glad all these people understood the Golightly reference. (I should have known I’m not the only fan of Breakfast at Tiffany’s).
Apollocreed - I was trying out the new wordpress thing where they automatically create avatars. But it’s kind of creepy isn’t it? I was hoping for cute, but I was Wrong.
I never knew of the laxative before, but now I’m thinking you absolutely have to change this brown and green color scheme. Between that and the laxative name, you’re just some random pictures of corn away from the poo imagery trifecta.
I totally knew it was from Breakfast at Tiffany’s!
What do I win?
And why do they call it Golightly? Shouldn’t it be called Goheavily?
Just sayin.
You win the best thing EVER - my Respect. A person couldn’t ask for more.
Justin your comment is 100% right on…I have a new design in the works…
Just found out my sister in law is reading my blog. If I were her, I wouldn’t want to read about my brother’s sex life…but whatever. Different strokes. I try to be accepting of people.
Don’t change your blog name.
