Two Notes.

Two notes of little import before I go and make dinner (just because I feel like typing something.)

1) There’ll be another story going up later tonight. This is one of my favourites.

2) One advantage of not having anything to do with Facebook is that you don’t get fooled by those junk e-mails that say Sarah sent you a message on Facebook.

Oh, I had one of those today but the name was so obscure they gave themselves away ;)

I like the foreign ones that claim your account with The Bank of Amerika has been suspended.

I read the story last night. I liked it very much.

JJ said...

Thanks Andrea. Do you ever get called Andy?

andrea kiss said...

Not so much any more. From the ages of 16-21 i worked a summer job with a local city Parks and Recreation dept with children between the ages of 6-16 and all the kids called me Andy because it was easier for the little ones to say. And i had a friend in high school who called me Andy.

But i do have people who call me Amanda, Adria, Adrian, Angela, etc. etc. I've never understood why so many people have trouble with my name.

JJ said...

Me neither. It's a fairly common name over here. I assume it's the female form of Andre/Andrew.

andrea kiss said...

Yep. And pronounced very close to Andrew. A lot of people here want to say ONdrea, even after i've just told them my name. I don't get it. They hear me say it and then just think of the spelling?

The pronunciation of the letter A is a subject in itself, I think. There's a north/south divide in England on that one. But I've noticed that Americans like to open their A's in names. Hence, we pronounce Dante as in Dan, but Americans pronounce it Dahnte.
