My Name is NOT Samantha!

By -
I have this small problem. Well it's not really my problem, its other people's problem that become mine! When people first meet me or they cant remember my name or think they remembered my name but really didn't, they call me Samantha! My whole life I have been Samantha. I know it is somewhat similar to Sabrina but really its not even that close. I could see if people messed up and called me Serena or Selina or even Sabena... but Samantha. It happens on a pretty consistent basis that i am thinking about getting a T-shirt or bumper sticker that says, My name is not Samantha. Although, that might be a cool name for a band.
I know other people have had similar name debacles. please share...

Holly. I guess it starts with an H.
Look at it this way, Samantha. "Who's the Boss" and "Bewitched." Both very hot...

My dad always calls me "BFS" (big fat slut)... He pronounces it biffis. That's not even close to "jaime".

Um, so I feel your pain. My whole life (well, college on) people have called me Diane. Like, reading my name off the roster, big ol professors with lots of letters after THEIR name read DIANA as Diane?? (And I could go into the story of how my friend Christine attended the same college and people started adding -a to the end of her name. I was Diane, she was Christina? Please people!!)
Tell me, please, HOW does that happen? And yes, I'll introduce myself, even with a slight emphasis on the -A, b/c I'm aware of this particular audio deficiency in the current world, and people STILL repeat it as Diane. Diane is a fine name, but it's NOT MINE. So, um, yeah, not bitter. Really. I just can identify. That's it. Sorry for rambling Samantha.
(Sooooo j/k.) You are such a Sabrina!!! I'm a name defender so if I'm around you and notice someone, have no fear, I will politely, but firmly correct them. I'm for you!
(But should I be in therapy given the link of this comment? Seriously, sorry for the big ol sermon!)

Someone ALWAYS thinks our Josie is named Sophie.....really our LAST name is Sopha! I always wondered if I could get away with naming a girl Sophie Sopha....looks as if I might as well have.

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
