Readers vote on my level of insanity
Current Music: Typical Day - Matt Rychek
Okay, I was bored, and I came home and started thinking about Shawn. Or really, continued, but that's not the point. I got to thinking (crap, how did I start thinking about this? Maybe I really am I crazy) about how our names are so similar. You know...
Shawn Edward Regan
Sarah Elizabeth Tollerson
Our initials are almost the same, if you just don't take notice to the difference between R and T. And do you know what the great part is?
The difference is an S, which is like our first initial.
We are so meant for eachother.
Then, you see, I got to thinking about my dad and his best friend of thirty plus years. When I was in sixth grade we visited him in West Virginia at his farm, and for the first time in my life I learned "Uncle Phil's" last name, and noticed a strong similarity between it and Tollerson. Sitting down for a second with a pen and a paper, I came to the astonishing conclusion...
Rolleston
AND
Tollerson
contain the exact same letters. And neither my dad, nor his best friend, noticed this for thirty years.
So my question is, am I strange, or is it them?
But then, you see, I got to thinking and wondering if Shawn's and my name's did anything cool like that. This is what I came up with:
w dwd gn
Sarah Eae rn
The first line is what's left of his name when you try to spell my name. The second is, obviously, what you get of my name using only his letters.
This is it in reverse:
lizbth Tolleso
Shan Ear Rea
How cool am I?
And if that's not enough proof for you, Shawn and I were born in the same hospital... in one of the same four rooms.
And we both play guitar!
And we're both hot!
And we both like pizza.
I eat more than him, though. Hmm...

Insanity aside, I must first of all tell you, Sarah, that I am very proud of you for updating your journal more than once in the same month! Woo-hoo!
As for how crazy you are, I'll say that I think the similarity between the names Rolleston and Tollerson is glaringly obvious. Otherwise, I'll use a sickeningly trite Shakespearean quote and say, "What's in a name? A rose if called by any other name would smell as sweet." Aww.
I must say that I myself do not contemplate such things as the similarity of names. Still, I don't think your insanity level tops mine!
Insanity verdict: not quite there yet. But keep trying...you'll get there one day.

Who's Shawn? I'm so out of the loop! Miss one week of 106 West and some guy named Shawn comes in and takes over.. ok.. more than one week missed.. perhaps 6 months or so.. but still.. soo out of the loop.. And the insane thing.. ever seen Silence of the Lambs? THAT guy's insane.. until you cut someone's face off and wear it as a mask as part of your master plan, you're not my standard for insane.
