What's in a name?

When thinking of names for this blog, I ran through many of my common sayings. Some that were looked at were:

"As a box of crackers"

"Not so much"

"I made it in summer camp"

"Unicorn giggles"

"Cockpunch"

All of which come from inside jokes with my friends. But, I settled on Day 12 because a) it is sort of an inside joke and b) it fits with my posting style.

It stems from waiting for people. Much like in moves and TV shows, where they flash how many days have passed at the bottom of the screen, I use it to let people know that they are taking too long. I think it first came into use waiting for Courtney to get out of the bathroom in the morning. I would often shout, "Day 12 Courtney!" to let her know that others might like to get in there at some point. "Day 12" then became my go to phrase for any annoying length of time that I would have to wait.

And that is about how long it takes me to post anything to a blog. Srsly.

It also reminds me of a play that I wanted to write (with Rob at the time) that would be done in three act. Act 1 would be set in a lovely living room, Act 2 would be the same room, like 60 minutes later and Act 3 would be 5 years later in the Sahara desert but the conversation would not break due to the time having past or the location changing. Rob and I found that concept HILARIOUS.

Of course, we also found bottling our own tap water and selling it as Northeast Springs Water (tm) hilarious too. Which is sort of is. And sadly, cockpunch.blogspot.com is already taken. I am totally not kidding about that.
