Only ~~2~~ 3 wake ups so far. Not bad.
That reminds me. There's several Simon's at work. I'm very unaccustomed to having the same name as other people.
Ive only ever met 1 other person with my real name.
Feels odd to call someone else by my name.
3 wakes, 3 recovering from migraine wakes because i have to pee
name, i don't meet many people with my first name and have met none with my last
I dropped my weird religious name and am left with a John Smith grade common white guy name.
Oh I bet I had a more generic white guy name. I think my name was the most common boys name the year I was born. Couple that with one of the top 5 English surnames and every ID check I ever did failed cause it had to go through an extensive review cause no one believed that was my real name.
Got a better last name now I'm married though.
