Until then, I have settled on getting you a sneak peek into the girl behind the blog, by giving you a random fact/story/whatever about me! Doesn't that sound fun!?!?
[All together now class, act enthused for my sake, please :) ]
This fact was actually inspired by my little project at work: seeing as I am entering names of study participants into a new database, I started thinking about [what else!] names. Why people name their kids some of things they do. . . . well that is a rant for a whole other day.
Sooooooooooo. . . . getting on with it.
Do you know someone who goes by one name to their family and another to their friends? Or maybe one for everyday use and another especially for work?
Here is the secret about me: I used to go by a different name. [Ohhhh, big shocker, Kayla, because I'm sure you're the first to do that, hmphh, hmphh]
I am not saying that I coined the idea, I'm just giving you a random fact about myself that I feel like sharing today, so just enjoy. . . .
When I moved to a new school in 5th grade, there were a freaking ton of Kayla's in my grade. And I wanted to be an individual, of course, because I was an idealistic dreamer of a child. . . right.
Actually, I kind of just had an obsession with Cover Girl model Niki Taylor. She was on all the ads on the backs of my teenie magazines and she was beautiful and flawless, in my opinion. In an effort to follow in her shadow, I decided to become "Nikki" for the remainder of my middle school years, until I made yet another move to yet another state. It wasn't too far of a jump from my middle name [Nicole] but there was enough difference from my idol's to feel like I was accomplishing my individuality.
See? I told you she was beautiful :)Picture from here.
