Interestingly - I never even taught Clancy to do that- but ever since I got her - she eats something odd and I yell "DROP IT!" and she does! It's amazing.

But there are times when I've been too late - like the time I left this giant brownie (it was wrapped in a paper bag, I thought I was safe) out - and she ate it.

Bag and all.

I had to induce vomitting and was laughing when the first thing to come up was the bag - with logo still readable

She's hilarious though - tries to be so sneaky but isn't. She's also the world's most UNgraceful dog - poor thing.

naturally, you would have been slimmer (possibly with an eating disorder?), cool(er), popular, and shallow. Also I think your hair would be blond or red. And, in fact, your parents would have had more money, and spent it on you. They would be shallow, too. That last one is key to the rest.
You would also elicit more free drinks, partly due to your boobs.

I didn't make these rules up, it's in the name guide. You would also boast a sprinkle of cute but not too obtrusive freckles. Then you would complain about them, as if you weren't gorgeous anyways. People would roll their eyes at you or talk behind your back much more than they do now.

Downsides to "Ashley": You can't be in band, you can't be as smart, instead of being lesbionic you would have some tool boyfriend and do what he said, and you would think Stevie was great no matter what she did. Fangirl squealing at concerts aside. You would also have a trendy yupford name, that millions of lamos would share. You would lament that, 'cause Ashley is a pretty name, but all those other Ashleys ruined it. You would declare yourself the only "real" Ashley. Eyes would be rolled.

I dunno, sounds like you came out on the right end of the name game... Although, according to the guide, you should love horses. And have wide but athletic shoulders.

Making up stuff about names is fun. And, I think I was almost named Felicia or Amethyst. Although I hope I made up "Amethyst", it's a vague recollection, and doesn't sound like my mom, but you never know. I know she didn't name me Felicia because there could be a nickname "Flea" or something like it. My mom was big on no nickname.

My mom wanted to name me Morning Star. Hippie much?

which leads to such confusing banter as:

"good morning, morning"

"good evening, morning"

"morning has broken, like the first morning, morning"

Had I been a boy, my name would have been Kevin or Tom. Not that Vanessa was any better, mind you, but it still beats those two. Tom is not that bad, but Kevin? Ugh!

Hey! What's wrong with me???

I wish I could get through her head that she deserves to be treated with respect.

I wish Sara would clean up her grades.

I wish I had more money, just enough to be comfortable.

I wish I wasn't still single.

I wish I could afford Empire to install my hard wood laminate instead of me installing it myself.

I wish I’d paid a bit more attention to the US Customs and Border Protection Regulations before I arrived at O’Hare Airport.

I wish I’d washed more of the clothes that were in my suitcase.

I wish I’d had some slightly different DVD’s in my suitcase (they were for a friend) particularly as about 1000 passengers walked passed them.

All signs point to yes. Well, and she was only eighteen, so.

ok then . . .
I WISH i knew more of this story.

I am imagining you standing in customs with a distinct "dirty clothes" odor wafting about while they question you about your dvd titles. . . .like "Mystery Mynx does Mexico" and "Bottom Boys gone WILD"
