What's in a name?
Jun. 23rd, 2005 03:36 pmI have been rather devistated all day. Like, in tears. Why? Because my favorite singer revealed his full name.
It was because of one or two assholes in the forum who didn't read the rules/faq before joining. They would have otherwise known that asking about his name PISSES HIM OFF!
Who cares what his full name is? What's that going to get you? Nothing! He'll still be the same person.
People who think they're cool just because they know something quiet about something just look stupid when they come up and just try and flaunt it (like his example, "I know Rouge's real name"). Well, that's good for you, but how often do you call him by a name no one else calls him?
I call my friend Mark "Zazu" because it's what he and everyone else calls him. I have several friends that go by their middle name (like Katie, Rob, Jen) and just because I know their first names, doesn't mean I use them. Even though Dave Brockie has his own band named after him, I'll still call him Oderus.
What the fuck is so important about knowing someone's "real name" ? I mean, it IS his real name, it's just not his FULL name. But I guess that's not good enough for the fucking assholes out there.
I can't get over this... I'm beginning to calm down, but really, I'm quite upset by this, and no one really understands why, so I can't talk about it.
