what's in a name?

thank you, to those of you who offered your place of residence as a vacationing spot for me. i appreciate it greatly, but think i'm gonna have to go with the carribean. heh.

i would just like to rant for one teeny weenie paragraph.

men, WHY must you "whoop and holler" at women? i realize not all of you actually do, but i'm fairly sure that you at least think about it when you see a woman. i'm not going to lie to you and tell you that i don't like attention, but everything in moderation, people. i park 2 blocks from my work building. i work downtown, and every morning - i have to walk the walk of shame to get into the safety of my cubicle where i'm surrounded only by hacking and chomping noises. this morning, i am walking ... minding my own business... and a truck packed full of messsicans starts yelling at me. in spanish. they're even honking the horn. not only am i annoyed by this, but it's a bit embarassing. the people in the other cars start looking over trying to figure out what all the commotion is all about, and i feel the need to stop and just wave real cute to everyone going by. "Good morning, people! i am just standing here, lookin real cute - hoping to start your morning off with a smile. yep, that's what i live for. so HAPPY THURSDAY! thanks for driving by!!" ugh. now, i realize that in 2 days, i have made references to messsicans doing all the yelling... this is not always the case. men gawk. i don't think they can help it. some are more blatant than others, but.... most all men do it. ladies, i know you feel me, here. i just don't get it. i mean, i get this a lot when i'm walking somewhere.... and those of you who know me personally, know my walk is far from normal. i look a bit like Handi Man. i'm a bit knee knocked, and i could start my own wave pool i wiggle my hips so much. this is not on purpose. this is just how i walk. it's goofy, and i've tried to fix it, but i just can't. at least i don't scoot my feet. (i hate that, but that's a whole other story.) anyway, i don't need an explanation from you... the art of whooping and hollering and gawking and cat calls has been going on for ages, and will continue to way beyond my life span, i know. it's just so funny to me. i mean, you'd never catch me (or most women i know) hanging out the car door to yell at some guy.

..........aaaaaaand, i'm done with that.

so, the name thing. what am i going to name my website? i could just go with ramblinredhead.com, but i'd like for it to be more than a blog page eventually. any ideas?
