To begin, the Life and Time of Meg is going to be a series of the never-ending humorous stories that are hopefully relatable...or I'm just going to be truly embarrassed because I'm taking personal experiences of my own and some from friends to retell. The topics will vary every article and hopefully, will be entertaining.
To my very few viewers out there, I am very grateful for your support and if you have any ideas of what I should write about, just send me a message on Twitter. I hope it will help lift your spirit and let those people out there doimg embarrassing things all the time know they are not alone. We can be awkwardly funny together. Let's be honest; life is too short to blend in with the crowd and it's way more fun to see others' reactions to the random things you do.
But let's begin with this week's topic: naming your possessions.
You know that moment when life just slaps you in the face with a "great" name or idea that may be brilliant, so you go through with it.
Well, that's what happened to me.
It started out as a normal day, and my younger brother and I were sent on a vital mission: to retrieve my birthday cake from my favorite bakery Shana Cakes. Yeah, it's kind of sad that I had to go pick up my own birthday cake, but that's what you get when you're born in January in Kansas and it's predicted to snow out. But moving on, my little brother decided to be a smart-ass and asked me what my car's name is and me being me, I responded right away "Cindy the Subaru."
I literally have no idea where I got that name from, but I rolled with it because his face was priceless! He even tried to be clever and retaliated with "I bet you didn't name your calculators!" Being the competitive person I am, I accepted the challenge with glee.
So me being me I named my graphing calculator Harold...Yep, he is a typical millennial calculator who goes by the name Harry because that what all the cool calculators do. After all, he has all the special extras like programming in formulas and plotting graphs. He's also a huge fan of Harry Styles, so he decided to start going by Harry because of his boy band idol.
While my old non-graphing calculator that I've had since middle school was dubbed Fred II, I think with the meme of our favorite wizard professor above you can figure out where I got my inspiration from. My first calculator died, so I had to replace it with Fred II, who is a survivor and is a close comrade now going through the strenuous torture of calculus.
Also, I've dropped Fred II so many times I am honestly shocked that he still works. And last but not least, my fabulous laptop I have is named Phillip for no real reason at all other than he seemed like a Philip to me. He is very posh and loves work out most of the day, but is also a brainiac and adores science and math homework. Isn't he the dreamiest laptop to ever exist?
As you have probably predicted, I came out the victor after one last challenge of naming a few of my car buttons Levi (Window opener), Audi (volume), and Hades (seat warmers). Honestly, this would be so much fun to do on a long and boring car ride just to see the driver's reaction. So I challenge you to name all the components of your car on a trip and have back stories for them!
May the odds ever be in your favor and remember to have fun!
