A word about my name…
May 14, 2008As I have been wandering about my favorite blogging haunts this past week, I’ve noticed so many changes at people’s sites. It is very striking because I’ve been AWOL for so long, but I find myself once again exploring everything little nook and cranny at each blog that I visit. With all the surprises I’ve been discovering, it’s like Christmas all over again.
One thing I’ve been delighted to come across over and over again, is the link to this blog. Shameless, aren’t I? And I’ve noticed a bit of a trend. Many of you have added a little disclaimer to either the title or the blurb that comes up when the mouse hovers over the link. ”Not” {Worthless}, or “Not so” {Worthless}, or even {Worth} “full” is what I have been seeing. I blush, and I think, and now I would like to offer a small explanation regarding my name.
When I started this blog, I did so on a whim. As so often happens to me, my creative juices were really not flowing at all and I couldn’t come up with a single title to describe what I saw this blog as. I actually didn’t really know what I even expected from this particular blog, so I stuck in the name you see now with the intention of changing it when the vision of what this blog was to become became clearer.
Now, as I hmm over all the edited versions of my blog link, I think perhaps it is time to come up with a different name. Something that captures what this blog has become. And that is where the problem begins. I’m not really sure what this blog has become! Anyone? A big whiny monster perhaps? Delusional ravings?
I’m still just as stuck for a name as I ever was. So, I throw it out to the masses. I know I don’t have a huge following, but those of you who do come, can you help me out here? I’m afraid I can’t even be as helpful as Anonymum was when she changed her title and give you a starting point. I would like a new title, something that captures this blog, and I would like you to help me find one.
My identity is in your hands. 
You could always try worthwhile writing instead of worthless? or simply put {not} in front of what you have, given that’s what may of us have done in our blogroll? if it’s a place to escape the kids, “my haven”, if it’s more for creativity, “my creative corner”….
it’s early here so all my head has at the moment, but if i come up with anything else, i’ll be back…
I was thinking it might be time to retire the “worthless/worthwhile” thing altogether. I don’t know. What do you think of when you think of this blog? What do you look for when you come visit? For me, it’s more of a place to put all the inane things that no one else cares to listen to me ramble on about. *sarcasm* Oh my lucky readers! LOL
I think that your about page has an awesome title. Just use that.
Yes, I like that title too! But then what would I call my about page? See? I’m no further ahead now! LOL I suppose I could rename my about page to something like “Me, Myself and I” Hmmmm.
Thinking on it…
Ok, first of all I really like the fact that the ‘worthless’ is coming out!
Second, I don’t have a name per say, but I did want to just give you my spontaneous thoughts as with my imagination I might not get around to answering your question any time soon.
Whenever I come I here I feel like I’m meeting up with a friend who is chatting about what is going on in her life. Kinda like meeting a good friend at a cafe, squeezing in a quality break to share and catch up in a safe and comfortable environment.
We’ll have a coffee or a tea, a piece of cake or in the summer sit on a patio and have a drink.
Although I don’t have a name, but maybe it helps your quest for one.
Good luck

Thanks Spaz, you always know just what to say. That was very helpful and I have some ideas niggling in the back of my brain. I’ll have to find time to get them nailed down to something a little more concrete. I’ll be sure to let you and everyone else know what’s up as soon as I know! lol

tough one.
I opt for the names of Steely Dan songs for my names. bookofliars, badsneaker and on and on . . .
Find a band you associate with and pick a tune.
Chances are no one has ever thought of that name.
Hope that helps.
please let me know where you wind up, okay?

Hee hee, well the first song that knocked on my brain was ‘The wheels on the bus….” LOL I don’t think I’ll go with that one! But this does give me a couple of more ideas….Stay tuned!
I find a place to chat Jennifer. I’m relaxed and comfortable and cosy…I bring a cup of tea, kick back…if it’s a place to put random ramblings, then call it that!
How about Home Away From Home? It sort of strikes me that way. Your little cabin in the sky so to speak.
Annie
how about Jen Smiles?
