What's In A Name?

( Face To Face )

Not much. Really. But still I'll humor myself. Now, I gotta tell ya, I'm really jumpy. Not the scared-by-the-sound-of-a-twig-breaking jumpy, but restless, if you please. And sticking to one pen-name, theme, color or blog ain't easy for me. Trust me on this one. You got no choice, anyway.

So. Something I use for the blog name had to be good. Real good. Atleast incredibly good enough to make me keep it for a while. ( Now don't take this lack of sticking up loyally for a name as an indication of me being a commitment-phobe! )

It's not something ingenious, anyway. "Bubble Wrap" may not even ring a bell with most. But search it on wikipedia, anyhow (presuming you have the time to read this post, you got the time for the lil' web jog). Ok, you lazy bum, just click here !

I fell in love with this word after hearing it in a fave song of mine.. Frou Frou's LET GO . And I figured that's what I am trying to do here, in this blog. Atleast I intend to. To shield myself from this reality I have to call my life. I know, I know... I am an escapist. But I would much rather be a happy escapist than a melancholic realist. And right now, even the escapist part works. The happy bit will follow. I hope. *fingers crossed*

And this confession, might have hurtled many curious questions to your forebrain.. "What?" " Why?" ..and the likes.."Ain't I better off writing about all that? " All I can say is, you might know one day. Or you might not. As of now, I am just glad to be able to blabber on about something else. Even something as nonsensical as a blog name. To forget the rest for a while. Before I can start the mammoth task of tackling it. And, lemme remind you, this here is good workout for my listless brain. And for someone who hasn't written in a long time without bursting into tears, it's a step ahead.

In case you were atleast labourious enough to click on the wiki link I so diligently fished out.. you would know now, that popping a bubble wrap is a great stress buster. And what do you know, they have virtual bubblewrap to pop now! Although, if you've ever tried popping 'em in real, you wouldn't like it all that much. Seems like the real world does have one saving grace.

@ Rebel:
LMAO.. I guess I tend to use the US english more than the UK version. It's easier, I guess. I tend to use a lot of slang too.. hence chica and not chick! :D
And even though, I am pleased to bits being complemented about my language, I gotta sadly reveal, I wish as much but I don't think I have a command over it. Although, I must say, the reverse is totally true. :)
About bubble wrap popping.. why not? No age bar for it. :)
