"Jared seems a perfectly fine name to me, just from the sound of it. What's normal where you live?"

"As I understand it, "Jared" has no meaning, per se, but it's origin is some bronze-age Jews in the desert--I don't really like that. And who knows how many girls have been scared off by my not having a "normal" name?"

"That said, the name awards in my family go to my nephew, "Marcon." It's a blend of the first syllables of his father's and mother's names (Marty, Connie). Unique, but not something that got him beat up in school, and when he…"

""Mary." About as christian as a name gets. As it was always told to me, mom just really liked the name. So much so she intended to name all of her girls Mary with different middle names and we'd go by our middle names. She got talked…"

Georges comes from two Greek words. One is pantheistic - more or less - since it exalts the earth as a spiritual entity: "Gaia" - the Earth or Nature. Seems a…"

"Ah, but names have meaning. I suppose it's up to the personal discretion of a person whether or not that name bothers them. In that case, hopefully they're in a place where they can change it."
Kristi Leitholt replied to Dominiq's discussion What's in a name? (If you are atheist BUT your given name has religious meaning)
"My name is Kristina, which is of course a form of "Christian," meaning "follower of Christ."
It was accurate up until about 3 years ago. I've considered changing my name, but I don't know what I'd change it to and…"
Profile Information
- About Me
- I am a free-thinking queerdykefeminist and I do believe that levity is a virtue. Life is too short to mess it all up, and way shorter not to laught at/with thy self.
I read a lot of theory (for graduate school) but for laughs, I love reading PTerry's Discworld Series the most, I always get a good laugh with my favorite DW witches.
I listen to a lot of different types of music but am partial to punk (The Slits, Raincoats, X-Ray Spex, Wendy O), post-punk (Gang of Four, Au Pairs, Siouxsie), electronic (Depeche Mode, Front 242, Ladytron, Goldfrapp), electroclash (Peaches), ambient (Cocteau Twins, The Field, Gui Baratto), among others.
This is my fave music vid of the day, it's hilarious!

Doug Harrington said… - Hello Dominiq;
My wife and I, {a Filipina} are residents of the US Territory of American Samoa.
There are quite a few People from the P.I. living and working here.
It is good to know that there are people like you who are coming out of the closet pertaining to religous, and sexual freedoms.
The Churches here, as I am sure there, continue to dominate the lives, and continue to rape the bank accounts of their poor congregations.
Although the US Constitution states that we live in a free society, free to worship as we see fit, free to believe what ever we see fit, and finally free to practice what ever sexual freedoms we see fit.
This is continuiously being abused by the Churches, and the Village matai {Chief} systems here in the pacific Islands, especially the South Pacific.
Please feel free to visit my blog posts, photos of American Samoa, and general profily.
I will appreicate any and all comments.
Thanks for accepting me as a friend.
Doug Harrington

- Ate!! haha napilitan ba? =P Yeah, been planning to vist, but it just never happens. I'm definitely a "lakwachera" and I would love to just explore the Phils and meet lotsa people. In fairness, maganda ka Ate ha=)

- Hey "Ate" Dominiq!!! I really admire that you are sticking for who you are and what you believe in. The Philippines is not the most tolerating country in terms of other beliefs and sexuality. Nakaka-depress talaga pag nanonood ako ng news sa TFC, the comments from these church leaders and politicians are ridiculous. Where did you attend college there? I hope we can all hang out someday, haven't been there for 9 years. Salamat po!

I'd love to talk with some more when you have the chance lol. in the meantime here is another really coo new lesbian band for you - They are Hunter Valentine from Canada - talk to you soon - Love, Michaela xox
