Part of her homework was to make up Indian names for herself, a classmate, her teacher, and a family member.

So she's Small Fox, her boyfriend is Running Bear, her teacher is Whispering Wind, and I'm Evening Star.

I remember haviung to do that once when I was a kid. I got in trouble. Teacher didn't think "Dumb Shit" was a good Indian Name for my friend.

We thought it was perfect.

It probably *was* perfect. And let me tell you, this Jake kid is no Running Bear, except in the sense that he *better* run if he ever messes with my kid...

Hahahahahaha

Are you sure it was Jake? On the way home from Karate on Tuesday, she was telling me Raven was Running Bear.

*shrug* She said Jake to me.

[yendi]

Well, she is mercurial.

What the hell is that icon of?

[yendi]

Ambush Bug, silly! You know, the one I rave about as the funniest comic ever, etc -- the one with the "How to spell Channukah" comic cover? After finding some Keith Giffin interviews, I decided to hunt up an icon. :-)

Weird. murnkay just asked me this morning if that was the funniest character ever or not.

[yendi]

And you said "yes," right?

And why the hell didn't LJ email me to tell me that you'd responded?

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Nooo... I said I don't know what Ambush Bug is.

Once, at dinner, we discussed the fact that euphemisms for masturbation make excellent Indian names. My youngest full brother is "Plays with Self." His friend is "Chokes the Chicken"

Hey! You could be "smacks the Jilly!"

Reminds me of a very old joke I'm sure you don't want to hear....

:)

I have to wonder now ... what name would she give to yendi?

- Galdrin
[ who, happily, was gifted with a Navajo name of his own once upon a time ].

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

I intend to ask. :)

[whitecrow0.livejournal.com]

I have an Indian name! It's Morning Light. Which is way wrong.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

I was given one in the wilderness survival camp I was in... Silent Snow.

[iroshi.livejournal.com]

Well, y'all already *know* what mine is. ;)

[galdrin.livejournal.com]

Mine is Ah-Tsidi-Yazzie-Chindi, "Little Devil Bird", which fits perfectly (or so a'hm told). A college buddy of mine from Silverton, Colorado, gave me the name our second year.
