So...the dissertation is done! Printed off and bound and ready to be handed in, thank god. And I an NOT going to repeat the story of what happened yesterday when Liz told me to lose 1500 words when I had already printed it all out and photocopied my second copy...cow...
ANYWAY all done now, so I am distracting my brain with games and food, and I have been meaning to do this scarily-huge meme since Becs put it up last week so here goes...
What is your name? Sarah or, if I'm up at uni, Saz.
Are you named after anyone? Nope
What's your screename? Beanie or the_demon_chrno
Would you name a child of yours after you? Not first name, no. Might give them Sarah as a middle name if it fits nicely.
If you were born a member of the opposite sex what would your name be? I don't know - I had no name for two weeks beacuse everyone was arguing about it, was almost called Victoria or Emma (neither of which would have suited me anyway), so I don't think my parents were even remotely considering boys names ><;
If you could switch names with a friend who would it be? Maybe Helen
Are there any mispronunciations/typos that people do with your name constantly? 'Sara' annoys me - I have an 'h' dammit! ANd for some reason people can't spell my surname, and even that has had some wierd pronunciations...
