I muttered to my boyfriend over msn messeger.
In the late 70s and early 80s, Jennifer was quite the popular name, next to Michael for the boys.
The interesting fact behind my name is that my mom wanted a different kind of name and had always liked the name Jennifer. So, when I was born, she named me just that, during the hype of the Jennifer pandamonium!!
My dad was in charge of my middle name, which is Leigh(pronounced Lee).
I've always liked my middle name and often when I was younger I wanted to change it to just that. Simple and to the point and I figured that my personality makes up for the rest of it.
Now, about 10 years ago, I was cleaning out my bedroom closet and taking out the clothes and putting them in order of outfit and colour, cuz i looooove to organize. To my surprise and shock, I noticed the name brand of the closet rod that was braced from wall to wall. What does it read?? "Leigh"
I then go to my parents and say, "Hey! Take a look of this beaut!"
So my mom came into my room and I pointed out the fact that my middle name was engraved in metal rod. My mom looked at me and said that she had never seen that before. So part of me starts to wonder......One day, before I was born and my parents started to think of names for me if I was a girl, did they decide to paint the inside of my closet and got the inspiration???
The world may never know.....the world......may never.........know.
So, there you have it...Origins of my first and middle name.
As for my boyfriend, he lacks a middle name, which i find funny cuz Catholics have 2 or 3 middle names(his not catholic but just for a tangential observation for indirect comparative-sake)

Yea.....although i really dont care for people calling me jenny.....makes me think of teenaged cheerleaders that wont do much with their lives and then die...
hehehe
Celeste is very spiritual sounding....like, if you have ever played sonic the hedgehog, when he gets the protective orb around him and it makes a waaaahmb sound....that's what comes to mind.
Yea...when it comes to organizing, its a weird sense of organizing my chaos and others. I like clean rooms cuz then its les for me to think about when im just trying to relax or focus my energies into other things...
How do you pronounce it?
Leeza?
L(eye)za?
:-)
Im sure you realize that her mommy was judy garland...some people dont know that but I just wanted to say anywho....
hahaha...
*sings* soooome where.....over the raaiiiinbooooow!!
Yea....i like to compare things that are usually not seen compared to show a possible relative nature, if the person chooses to.
Hahaha...was your friend a gemini??
Dang, im obsessed with star signs....:-S;-)
Yea...kinda like both aspects, cuz with the dusting not done, i dont think that the organizing would be showcased properly, so its more of a will and struggle to do the dusting, but after the dustclouds and organizing, you get a greater sense of accomplishment.
*is a retard* :-p
