Me: My brain hates me today. It is a block of wood on top of my neck mocking me about my inability to form sentences.
Wuffie: *head pets*. That’s no good on the block headiness! Or should that be headedness?
Me: I don’t even know anymore.
On the up side, if you don’t sleep at all and you stop understanding the concept of time, buttons on the internet become strangely fascinating. Due to this I have discovered that my renegade Time Lord name is The Commander. Which is good to know, in case it ever comes up. If you’re bored and on the internet right now (And come on, you are, aren’t you? You can tell me) you could find out your very own renegade Time Lord name. Aren’t you excited?
With my new title in hand I spent a little while arguing with Google about the fact that it wouldn’t load* — apparently it was unimpressed with me telling it that The Commander demanded its assistance. I don’t think that was any reason to start insisting I fill in captcha codes before it would perform searches for me though.
Rick: Hi, honey. Sitting around with a bottle of port?
Me: Oh. Yeah. That’s Paul’s fault. I had nothing to do with it. Aside from the drinking it part.
But while Google was refusing to play with me I made another discovery. I found out that there are a lot of letters in my name. To be fair, I did already know this, but other than being a bit sad about it when I have to fill in forms it’s not something I think about a lot. But it is advantageous if you’re creating anagrams.
It’s been a long time since I tried rearranging the letters in my name for fun and profit but there’s this website now that will do it for you. And it has very strong opinions about which anagrams are the funniest.
It told me that my name might mean: VIVID CRACK AS NAKED ANATHEMA. I was ambivalent about that so I gave it the other version of my name to play with and it suggested that perhaps my name meant: OK! HA HA! DRACONIAN VENDETTAS. Which I thought was pretty awesome. Cause that’s not a terrible description of the series of books I’m writing. Clearly this website is very clever. It knows me.
But then I wondered, what happens if I just use my first name? Without all those entertaining extra letters that the rest of my name provides, surely it won’t be able to be that funny. I mean, seriously, what brilliant thing is it going to come up with only seven letters?
It smiles that overconfident smile*, shuffles the letters and says the best anagram for my first name is AND CAKE. AND CAKE.
So okay, fine. Maybe it was right to be confident.
* Yes, seriously. The rest of the internet, fine. Sure. Google — not so much.
** Yes, the website has an overconfident smile. Hush.

Oh Jesus!
My Time Lord name is The Trouser Meddler…
I mean, WTF?! *Blushes*

‘Scuse me while I roll on the floor laughing.
I totally have not spent the last half hour plugging in the names of my entire family into the anagram machine to see what it did with them. I am therefore not at all disturbed by how accurate some of them appear to be. And have not been giggling incessantly the entire time.
I think your Time Lord name is… very nice. *snort, snicker, giggle* I will make sure to address you formally whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Apparently my name is CHEERIER, SMALL CANNIBAL
And my Time Lord name is Eurybus ….

You are definitely the cheerier small cannibal. Not like those mopey and depressed small cannibals you get so often nowadays.

I am “The Dark Hand” whose name means “Like Rare Crap” (or, if you add in my secret name “Cake Premier Alarm”!!)
I’m going with the secret name addition myself.
Apparently I am married to “Lord Octosi” who is a “Jerk, or sharp son” I mean, seriously??

Oh, and you have tried your housemate’s name right? “The Time Keeper”. You think it knows something we don’t?
Kandace Mavrick

I think it knows SO MANY THINGS.
Although what mystifies me is that is says my sister’s renegade Time Lord name is Greg. GREG. What is going on here? Are S. Greg and Merry secretly the same person?!? They ARE both very tall…

I played with the anagram machine with a variety of my names (it helps to have two middle names), my nickname, and my eventually to be married name, and came up with the below:
-I’M STAGNANT GROVELER
-THREATEN STRANGLE LOVEMAKING
-MALIGN HEARTSORE VAGRANTS
-VIRGINAL GEMSTONE
-THANKLESS GRAVEN IMAGE LIONHEART
-I AM A REVOLTING GNASHERS
-AGGRIEVE UNFEMINIST WOLF
-GREAT ARM
-SWEET IF FUN-LOVING
-I’M NEW IF FUEL
-WARM IN GUILT-FREE FAME
-BALL WOFULLY
I like Great Arm as an anagram of Margaret 🙂

Scott’s full name comes out as: WEIRD MALCONTENTS
Which I find highly appropriate 😀

I like ‘sweet if fun-loving’ for you. Although some of the others are kind of awesome, if less appropriate. They all sort of tweak my brain – evolving scenarios that would explain them becoming your official sobriquet.

Okay, confess, whose mind are you controlling? Are you secretly puppeteering all the Paul’s in the world?
