   What were you expecting me to be reading?   
   You stated that your surname indicates that you're a descendant of a druid.   
   So what, what's it supposed to mean?   
   Surnames are, or at least were at one time, intended to convey a sense of   
   identity based on what they meant, like Smith, and Miller, etc. But there   
   are some weird ones too that were instead of being taken, given, actually,   
   usually forced upon someone. My roomate's boyfriend of Latvian descent for   
   example, had s surname that translated into "Master of Christ", which is of   
   course totally blasphemous, but was forced upon one of his ancestors long   
   ago when a conquering monarch invaded the country and started taking over.   
   The ancestor dared to complain about it, very carefully of course, but the   
   king still didn't like it so he changed the dissident's name to reflect his   
   'insolence' to a mere human who clearly considered himself to be 'god'...so   
   rather than being beheaded, he was 'given' a nasty surname instead, that   
   persists to this day.

   But I'm not the one having the problem with it...if only the challenges of   
   my existence were so simple.   
      
   >Ouisie, you are typical of most of the things I dislike.   
      
   Not much of a basis to be able to know that from a few disembodied texts on   
   a monitor screen from some distant computer.
