Now are you sure that you didn't give Shoe Shine Boy a fighting chance as your name? Because that is the most original and hilarious thing that I have heard yet!

I realized that I didn't go into why I posted my first name on the board. I was a DB skeptic when I borrowed the book from my best friend. She was a DB poster child. The one thing that she refused to do was join this site. The reason? She was horribly embarassed to be where she was. To prove to her that I was not embarassed, I boldly slapped 'Meredith' in the screen name box. She almost fainted. I stand by it. This is who I am. This is what I am. There are certainly other things that would describe me (I'm now considering Shoe Shine Boy) but I never changed it because I had enough trouble with H and S and D4 and all that jazz...I figured tossing my own name out would give me one less thing to keep track of!

And like most, I signed on at the beginning of my DB journey, not knowing WHAT I felt. But, I'll always feel Meredith! So, it goes.

End of my two cents!

But first, may I say, I adore D7's sense of style. I wish my D4 shared it!
