not that it matters, but my middle name is Corey, which is the name I've gone by for as long as I can remember (a choice my mother apparently made). But for some reason, I actually think of myself as Zoe, whenever I'm here.
To be honest, If someone here called me Corey, I'd probably not even notice they were talking to me...
...but then again, I'm not the sharpest egg in the... in the...
The story behind the name is rather lame if you weren't there... which none of you were, but I digress...
We (the wife & I) were watching 'The Babe' (story of Babe Ruth, starring John Goodman), and there is a scene when he was a child in an orphanage that one of the kids who was picking on him called him 'Fat Chops'. Well the Babe proceeded to beat the shit out of the kid, but the name had an odd but favorable ring to it.
Moments after that very scene, Zoe (pronounced Zo-ey, but when referring to me -pronounced Zoe) walked into the room with a log in her mouth (well she IS a great dane) and proceeded to 'chop' (chew) it in half as we watched the rest of the movie. Before I knew it, we were calling her Zoechops, or just Chops or Choppy for short. The fact that I began 'chopping' the hell out of pictures on the thread was either destiny, or coincidence.
As for my real name... until now, nobody has ever really asked. I told Jen & Mike & Jerianna when we met. Other than that, MOM was the only one who has ever asked.
So now you know, and the world is once again safe for Democracy!
