Last night I went to a Bible Study with Suzanne (my boss's wife). I actually had a great time, and I don't mean actually as in suprise suprise. The group was younger, more college career aged...meaning in their 20's and possibly 30's. There were a few couples and such....but a really cool group. We had a lot of fun together and I felt right at home despite the fact that I didn't know any of them.
Well, since I was new and all - they decided to introduce themselves. Instead of going around the room and telling your name and where you're from, or maybe your favourite colour, or perhaps what you do in your spare time...they decided you should go around the room and give your first and middle name. Like who does that?
For those of you who know my middle name, you understand why this sort of information display would be a horrible thought for my young and innocent mind. However, they all started promptly spewing out their middle names...all of them very normal and cool.
I tried to get away with it by just not stating my middle name, but they started grilling me - and I told them I really couldn't give my middle name because they would laugh. After all, that is what that friend of mine did after she promised about five times that she would never laugh if I told her.
Well, I finally spilled, yes I told over 15 people my middle name - and they laughed. I am doomed:)
