thanks to everybody for the facebook likes and name suggestions! in particular, i have to give something of an honorable mention to circulating for making the suggestion i look to the greek language. my family’s greek so i suppose that means i am too. i spent the better part of an afternoon reading about flower myths and words only my grandmother can properly pronounce.

at the end of the day, my favorite suggestion, “pick me,” came from miss elisa marcheschi. there’s a spot of bad news, however, as there’s already a business with that name and i don’t want to step on their toes. but! it’s simply too charming to pass up, and shall certainly inspire something similar.

“picking flowers”

“daydream and pick flowers”

what do you think?

semi-relatedly, in the eighth grade i ran unsuccessfully for class vice president. i filled the halls with lots of punny posters including one with a giant construction paper nose and the slogan “pick a winner!” perhaps if i had instead made giant construction paper flowers, i’d have won.

on the facebook side of things, random.org chose new friend mr. branden barton as the lucky duck to get a terrarium.

yay for elisa and branden! go ahead and pick yourselves a dino friend! feel free to re-name him, funny enough, these guys haven’t learned their names yet.
