So I looked up my first name in the image section of a search engine, thinking that since, in the past, I found cute-sy graphics reminding me of the laughable fact that my first name is derived from a Gaelic term for "wise one". I was inspired by an older post by the Bloggess (to which I've left a link below) about her adventures looking up the names "Jenny" and her blog name, so I thought maybe this time I'd get a fun screen grab or two with the name 'Shannon' on it, like a still of Jason in his hockey mask, weapon ready, saying, "Whatayou mean, you're out of peas?" or something, but no. No. I got the smiling faces of a bunch of professional-looking pretty strangers,including some insanely ripped, skinny women, one wearing two gold medals, and one of these:
This treasure is from David Thorne, much to my relief after clicking on it and seeing the words "Shannon the Human Snake. Due to there being no petty cash left, with which Shannon was planning to buy her lunch, Shannon is now the sole key holder of the petty cash tin...", which made me think, 'Yes, yes, I share a name with this character. Perfection'.But that can easily be met with another giggle. Check this out! -->
Haha - Well, I can see how people could get us confused.
Shannon Noll, a singer-songwriter.
Okay, now it's weird. Not like the Bloggess, but...weird. In reality, I'm sure this image came up because it belongs to a childrens' book author whose surname is Shannon. I didn't look. But of course my imagination kicked in and said, 'Is this, um, the way my inner child appears?'
There's my first name in Irish! 'Sionna'!
A couple of people who share my name have posted either amusing things or quotes from literature heavyweights like Mark Twain, and I figure that if we're putting that sort of image of our tastes out into the online world, that's not a bad thing. Plus some of us have good head shots.
