Day 1

[faintwaves]

Everyone naming their goats is making me wonder something...

Do you ever wonder about your own names? Like...where they came from?

I mean, I'm Scottish, but my last name is French. And I don't even know what Xion is supposed to be. Sometimes I wonder what my parents were even thinking when they called me that.

...I'm almost 99% certain that people pronounce Melvin correctly, though.

[donutsanddestiny]

I do pronounce your name correctly!

[faintwaves]

Oh...I wasn't just talking about you...although it's not shy-on, it's shee-on.

[donutsanddestiny]

Oh, I see.

But I do say shee-on! I fully recognize that pronunciation. [That is totally what he thinks in his head right before saying shy-on.]

[faintwaves]

I suppose it's closer than the people that pronounce it as though there's a zed in it. [She gives up.]

[donutsanddestiny]

Yes, see? There you go. I'm amazing.

[faintwaves]

Ah, well...

I like Melvin as a name, anyway. It sounds very smart.

[donutsanddestiny]

You think so?

[faintwaves]

I just said, didn't I?

[donutsanddestiny]

I just never thought about it as smart, I guess...

But it should sound that way! It's my name, after all.

[faintwaves]

Right. You should be proud of it!

[donutsanddestiny]

Thanks I'll remember that!
