Weird fascinations

Occassionally I will go to weddingchannel.com and see if anyone I went to grammar school, high school, or college are getting married. Sometimes I'll look up people with the same last name as myself. Those select chosen few blessed with that knowledge also realize what a rare name it is. I am the only one in this country with that name, I believe.. or at least that's what google stalking says anyways.

So regardless of the fact that I am or am not invited to said persons wedding, I go and look at their gift registry. One of these days, when I have more than the typical spare five bucks I am going to randomly send people wedding presents. Regardless if I don't know them.

Then I take a look at their goods and comprise the interior of a house with them, sort of like playing the sims but with real people's names and actual objects. I think of how their first night with their new presents would be, especially for the brand new 280 thread count Egyptian Cotton sheets by Bloomingdales' with coordinating dust ruffle and duvet by Calvin Klein. Her with her blond hair pulled up in clip wearing a pink gingham apron making her husband their first meal with the Tangerine coloured Kitchen-aid complete with torched crème brûlée.

People certainly live fascinating lives as I sit here at my job and ponder the oddities that occur around me. Then again, I doubt people have 50 year old brits messaging them asking to roleplay Zuul and Vinz Clortho from Ghostbusters. Anyway, I'm off like that little red number Sigourney Weaver wore in the movie.

as far as I can tell via google and other sources I am the only person on the planet with my first and last name. Also as best as I can tell there are only 9 people in the world with my last name. Gotta love the slaughtering of names that went on at Ellis Island.

My name didn't get butchered which is surprising, but it's like jones or smith in Ukraine or Russia. It means (do I dare?) goatherder.
