Chris Muir can't spell.

The above posted image is my random picture of the day. Not really a picture but a screen cap instead.

Chris Muir has been added to my list of people who have incorrectly spelled my name. Seeing that one little lonely N just broke my tiny, fragile heart. Okay, not really but, where else am I going to get my drama?

I'm just happy that Chris didn't use the male spelling of my name. I have had that happen. Actually, it happened the other day at Starbucks. As we all know, Starbucks is my second home... third home. Queenies is my second home. Anyways, occasionally I'll walk into my third home to get a beverage to take to either my first or second home... Yea, that sentence came out WAY wrong. I don't occasionally walk into Starbucks, I FREQUENTLY walk into Starbucks. I frequently walk into Starbucks where I occasionally encounter an employee who isn't familiar with me and the odd spelling that is my name. Last week-ish, I walked in and was greeted by the new guy (his name is Micah) (wait, Yes, I do know them all on a first name basis, life is easier when you can say 'Hello, [insert Starbucks employees name here]') Okay, back to Micah, the new guy. Now, Micah knows my name, I just don't think he's one of those people that knows E=girl and A=boy. He knows my drink and all but he almost never puts my name on the cup. Why would he have to anyways? Everyone knows that the Light ice White Mocha is for me. Anyways, it was busy so he had to get my name on the cup (the Barista was VERY new) So he does, I get my drink, walk to work and notice Micah made me a boy. A(apparently)= girl and E=there is no other spelling for this name, please see 'Aaron'. Universal spelling for a universal name... hmm? No. I didn't call Micah out on it. However, when I was in 9th grade, I encountered a hippy English Substitute teacher that did something far worse than spell my name incorrectly. Hippy sub gave me a completely new name! Not only that but, Hippy sub gave me a MALE name. Hippy sub did roll call (you have to know he's a hippy since NO ONE does roll call anymore) he got down to the T's and called my name... wait, no, no he didn't call my name. He attempted to roll call a Erwin Tinsman. Yea, Erwin. Where'd the W come from? Erwin? Really? How do you think I responded to that? Well, I didn't respond. I never heard my name! I heard Erwin and blocked out the roll call of the last name and got marked as absent. Thankfully the Hippy sub gave me the opportunity to call him out on his mistake. He, after naming off every student (all 40 of us) he asked if he had missed anyone. I politely raised my hand and said my name hadn't been called. He scrolled down the list and asked if I was Erwin. For the record, I have always been a sarcastic little fuck. This was no exception. I sarcastically replied asking if I looked like a boy to him. I then pointed out the fact that there was no possible way this hippy man could have seen a freaking W in my name. He corrected himself, apologized and chuckled a bit (at my expense) Dude, don't fucking apologize for YOUR mistake if you're only going to laugh about it. Not funny. I ended up having to deal with this hippy sub for 2 weeks while my amazing English teacher was out doing some kind of super hero super tall man side kick freak show thing. I don't even remember why Stover was out, he was probably sick or saving the world or something. You know how those English teachers are. Funny thing though, Hippy sub, in his hay day, was an English teacher. Just thought I'd mention that.


Anyways, to end said misspelling of my name rant, Chris Muir has been added to the list of people who don't know how to spell my name. I forgive him because when you're not sitting around spelling my name over and over and over again into a notebook (like how I do) and my name is commonly spelled differently, it makes sense if you leave off that little N. For the record though, Chris, it's ErinN...!

Also, thanks mom. Thanks for being eccentric! Thanks for thinking it would be cool to add a fucking letter to my name and confuse the holy shit out of people when I tell them I have TWO N's in my name. At least I have a sibling that can relate. Mom spelled my older brothers name with an I instead of an O. Yea, is name is Brandin. I'm really starting to believe she doesn't like us.
