HOLY SHIT I had no idea I won a comment award.

I could not think of anything better to top off my weekend.

Employer: So, what do you think you could bring to this job?
Me: Someone on the internet once told me I had a kick-ass name. That could help.
Employer: … Okay, what would you consider your greatest achievement in life so far?
Me: Someone on the internet said I was funny. Twice, even.

(but thank you! my parents were Jane Austen nerds, and I’ll take being named after an excellent character over having a name that people spell correctly any day!)

You mean, besides having a kick-ass name like Elinor? I’d put the shit down in my resume twice!

I actually found the first verse to Taylor Swift’s Breakup Song About Autostraddle:

You called me a feminist’s nightmare
I don’t know why you would even go there
The comments made me cry at 2 AM last night
So I’ll drive in my truck in the rain away from this fight

Sorry I couldn’t resist!
