I took the "WHAT IS ELAINE'S PROBLEM?" quiz
Highly entertaining!
Here are my answers:
Statement #1:
"They will never listen unless your child screams at them millions of times and then these idiots will label your child a jerk."
B. People never listened to Elaine as a child because they didn't understand what the hell she was yapping about.
Statement #2
"Strangers never ask you which name you prefer to use."
B. Strangers never asked Elaine which name she prefers to use because they thought it wise to avoid eye-contact with her.
Statement #3
"The reason why I know so much about this is because I have been called by my middle name instead of my first name every single day of my life and it is a pain in the neck. I absolutely detest my first name."
B. Elaine absolutely detests her first name because of a traumatic childhood experience that Elaine will be more than willing to tell you about if she can corner you for another six hours.
---although I do like C. too.
Statement #4
"People have given me dirty looks when I have corrected them for calling me by the wrong name."
C. People have given Elaine dirty looks because Elaine has a habit of constantly "correcting" everyone around her.
Statement #5
"Prospective employers have always ruined my name and one jerk talked to me like he wanted to slap my face when I corrected him about the first name garbage."
C. A prospective employer talked to Elaine like he wanted to slap her face because she's just SO $%^#$' ANNOYING.
Statement #6
"One college professor asked me if I was too stupid to know which name I preferred to use and he asked me this question in front of about thirty students."
B. The college professor asked Elaine if she was stupid because Elaine wouldn't leave the classroom until she'd first finished "correcting" everyone in the room.
Statement #7
"Once my fifth grade classmates lied to the substitute teacher about which name I used but this wasn't just one or two obnoxious students who did this. The entire class did it..."
C. The entire class did it because Elaine was just one of those kids in school that nobody likes.
Statement #8
"A shop teacher in high school called me by the wrong name for about six weeks and another teacher did it a whole year."
B. The teachers did that because they were actively participating in a nation-wide conspiracy against Elaine .
Statement #9
"Several years ago, a sales clerk in a store asked me if the reason why my parents called me by my middle name was because of the possibility that my parents didn't want me."
B. The sales clerk asked Elaine that because all the other customers waiting impatiently at the checkout line for Elaine to SHUT THE &^%$ UP just weren't as interesting as Elaine .
Statement #10
"You should also pay very close attention to your child's initials because they should not spell any bad words that will cause your child to be teased by a bully."
B. You should make sure your child's initials don't spell any bad words because if you don't, Elaine will jump into her little Name Police patrol car with the little bell she likes to ring, and peddle it furiously until she has apprehended you and "corrected" you.
C. You should make sure your child's initials don't spell any bad words because, at this point, you will be anxious to do almost anything that might get Elaine to shut the crap up.
---I'm undecided. They both fit her! lol
I changed all the swear words to *&^%$ so others wouldn't hound(you had swear words on the baby board, you would be yelled at so quick). Is there some rule that we can't swear anymore in post or it just for the subjects?? I'm not even sure i should have.
Elaine reminds me of "Me" before she got kicked off. Again Highly entertaing!!!!!!

ugh... I got a headache just from reading that... and I thought six was a cute name... adorable in 'blossom' too... is it too late to shoot/abort her? obviously she would have been a happier person for it... *sigh* I dislike my name as well but have never thought if going to these extremes... think elaine would shoot me if she knew scye wasn't my real name? :P I hope her motherboard crashed after that...
I've heard of a kid named Seven (a girl) and I know the singer Erykah Badu named her son Seven. Ms. Badu's reasoning, the number can not be divided, kinda interesting.
Because it cannot be divided? She might as well have chosen
One, Two, Three, Five, Eleven, Thirteen, Seventeen, Nineteen, Twenty-Three... and so on ;-)
One, Two, Three, Five, Eleven, Thirteen, Seventeen, Nineteen, Twenty-Three... and so on ;-)
Seven is more aesthetically pleasing, than those other numbers, but I see what you are getting at :-P
When I first heard the name I said yuck, but during an interview she spoke about her son's name for like 10 minutes. Focusing on how life can destroy your soul, and by naming her son, seven, she's reminding him, not to get caught up in things like that. His name can't be divided, hence his soul, and heart won't be broken "divided". Obviously you can't guarantee those things won't happen, with a name (she pointed that out too), but it is indeed a nice thought, it’s defiantly inspiring. That interview took away my 'yuck' feelings. I wonder if it would have melted Elaine’s heart! LOL

She should have named him "Dhevin" instead of "Seven"...
The number seven *can* be divided, though not into whole numbers equally.
Erykah Badu should have named her son:
Dhevin Dieter Badu
Which anagrams into the motto: "Heart, be undivided".

Thank you...
for introducing me to the insanity that was (and surely still is) Elaine. Usually I don't laugh out loud at the long-winded, self-righteous, delusional posts (although I've been known to do some eye rolling), but Elaine is a treasure. Long live Elaine! Down with Elaine!

Too bad I missed "Me" over on the other board. It would've amused me to make up a "WHAT IS ME'S PROBLEM? Quiz", as well.
And it would've been additionally amusing to note that the lightning-swift celerity with which I might devise such a quiz would leave Carla over here sitting in the dust and wondering what the hell just zoomed over her head. Seeing as how Carla seems convinced that one must "have a lot of time on one's hands" in order to be creative. lol

Since you like being creative. Would you mind anagraming some more names?
I would love to see more anagrams for my name Anastasia 'Demetria' (if there is any more you can do).
Also some anagrams for Christina-Athanasia and David John.
No obligation :)

What was Elaine's name? was Elaine her middle name or first or neither.
If you go to the Archives April of 2001 and read the messages you'll see that Elaine is using her middle name and hates it.
