sabI'm pretty sure my cat's name is Lauren.
Not Hawkeye; he's still Hawkeye and furry and trucking along for 11 years now.
No, this is the kitten that Julie and I adopted a year ago, known as "the kitten" who was christened "Houlihan" to go with Hawkeye but who promptly (courtesy of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
projectjulie and LJ user me) became known as Hula Hoop. Or "The Hoop," to me, and "Hula" to others (I never cared for that nickname). So then there was the Hawk and the Hoop, and that was nice when they were on the stoop, or had to poop, but at other non-rhyming times, it became taxing.
And then today she said, "hi, I'm Lauren."
Anyway, Hawkeye and Lauren and I bid you a good night.
And Lauren has to be one of the most ridiculous names for a cat I have ever heard. But it all of a sudden became CLEAR AS DAY.
ETA Now she's staring at me like *I'm* crazy. Yes! What! Lauren! Get over it! She looks especially like a Lauren when she's sleeping near my ear, which is where she was when she decided to climb down and stare. What! You've got food! Hawkeye loves you! That's it, Lauren. There there now. Purr.

Date: 2009-02-09 05:25 pm (UTC)I am used to there being more Laurens in school with me but not on the internet. I never got used to my name in real life and I am definitely not used to being Lauren on the internet. Just seeing it repeated so many times here is giving me major dissociation. How is that possibly my name!! Ha.
