MACK-Errr-EthhhhH!
so i received this informal award (most outgoing) at RHA (residence hall association) tonight, which was a marathon 3 hours long.
first off i know that i am outgoing, but let me give you all a lesson in spelling my last name, since both this certificate as well as my certificate for induction into NRHH (national residence hall honorary) spelled my name Mackerath instead of Mackereth (see the difference). the worst possible spelling i have seen of my last name is Macerath. This only has 2 syllables while my name has 3, I mean if you are going to slaughter my last name I will forgive you if you at least include the right number of syllables. Even Zoolander has 3 syllables so even that is closer to Mackereth than Macerath.
hmm, let's analyze this...first off my last name does not start off with a pepper spray it starts off with MACK cause it is cool like that. secondly it does not end with rath, or what could be pronounced as wrath, it definatly does not end with something that could relate to the classic movie, Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan. My last name is cool, but not that cool.
In closing, if you know how to pronounce my name, you can figure out how to spell it...MACK-Errr-etHHH. yes not always simple to pronounce like Smith or Johnson, but much cooler to have (no offense to those with previous mentioned names).
ok, i am done, it is late, and i have to debate about File Sharing in Spanish tomorrow.
Buenos Noches.

yesterday a woman registered me for something as Lynn Bowen when my driver's license was sitting right the frick in front of her. stupid people, i tell you. so i had to go back and redo all the paperwork that said, for real, i'm bowen lynn patterson. stupid woman.
also, i once got a letter from the draft saying that if i didn't register for the draft soon they'd cut off all federal financial aid. now, this would have been strange, except they thought i was a boy named rowen peterson. so it wasn't strange at all.

Tis' true, people need to learn name checking skills. here at the U of M it is as simple as going to http://www1.umn.edu/twincities/00_peoplesearch.php (aka stalker.com) and you can find all the information you ever need to know about people at the U. And I wonder where the government receives false spellings of peoples names. i guess the CIA is full of poor spellers.
Spelling-Bee losers!

Well hum! David has finally joined the blogging troope. Yay!
I must say, I get quite upset when people spell my name w/o an "h," or say DaviES. Such common names and such silly little things to get bothered by. Meh. All in all, I know what you feel like when people masacre your name...
However, I am a terrible speller and I feel bad when I write things the wrong way. Ooops.
I have a UofM thinger too, but haven't used it yet. I'm more of an LJ gal. :p
Happy blogging! It's very stress-releaving.
xo, Sar
