    Listen to a comedian while drawing and you're gonna have a bad time.

    /me starts a line

    Comedian tells joke

    /me laughs and screws up

    Repeat about 12,000 times.





    That was a waste. I'm off to bed so I can wake up early and do it again.

    Hey, everypony. What's going on?

    Yeah, they probably should have picked something more conventional. I don't feel as bad for the girl named Pinkamina as I do for the boy named Optimus Prime, though. Dunno why.

    Still, my name is David, which is a Hebrew name. I'm not associated in any way with Jewish people or any religions based off of Jewish religious text (there was an important David in the Torah, Bible, and Quran, I think), but I'm named that anyway. I guess a person's name just is what it is. If you think about it, David is just Hebrew for "beloved", so if people went around called me "Beloved" instead of "David", they wouldn't be wrong, they'd just be saying my name in a different language. It would sound weird to us, but only because we're not used to thinking about names in that way. If she's named Pinkamina, then that's just her name, and maybe people will eventually learn to ignore it and see her for the person she really is, not the unconventional name her parents labeled her with.

    I agree with you Dilly Star, names don't make us who we are. My second name comes from byzantine empire and it is kind of a weird name, but I still like it now that I'm older. And my little sister was named after Aurora Borealis (her second name is Aurora), which is cute but also pretty weird. I think our mother has a thing with weird names.

    And btw David is nice name :D I like names starting with D, like Daniel,Dave etc.

    Thank you! It's nice to hear someone say that they like my name.

    I don't think I've ever met anyone named Aurora. And you say your second name comes from the Byzantine Empire? That's pretty cool. Can I ask what it is?

    That's funny, because I kept trying to fall asleep, but couldn't. Now I'm super tired. :DFH:

    Yeah sure, it is Theodora n_n. Luckily my first name is easy and global enough, so I can travel anywhere and people can pronounce it. (My first name is Emma).

    I tried to have a allnighter also, but I fell asleep 7am >__>

    Oh, I don't know. I try to be the personification of my name, but that's really just happy coincidence. My name's Justin.

    It stuck with me waaaay back about 10 years ago on Gaia Online. Since then, I've liked wolves, and enjoy the Japanese language.

    Those are both very nice names!

    I think my most successful all-nighter was a night when I stayed up until 3 pm, at which point I passed out for a few hours until my body could function again. :derpe:

    This reminds me: my grandparents got me a book on how to learn spoken Japanese. I haven't really gotten into it yet, but it sounds exciting.
