It used to be called, "Sophia's Wisdom" not because I had a lot of wisdom, but because "Sophia" is my saint's name, and Sophia in the Greek means "wisdom". So I thought it was rather catchy to call the blog: "Sophia's Wisdom".
However, I had one friend who, in talking about my blog, said that he thought a blog should be about one subject or one area so that the reader would know what to expect from day to day. He thought that the title of the blog should capture what the blog would be discussing, whether it is about theology, cooking, your family, or music. Unfortunately, I think he was disappointed at the lack of wisdom found at "Sophia's Wisdom".
So, this time, I decided to keep eveyone's expectations low and just call it "Boring Kori". That's what one customer called me when I was a waitress, and he was put into my section. He asked the hostess who would be his waitress, and when she told him it was me, he called out, "Ah sh*t! I'm in Boring Kori's section? I wanted to be in Sexy Lexy's section."
Don't get me wrong. I was sooooo glad to be "Boring Kori" even at the age of 20. I knew that to be "Sexy Lexi" would mean I would have to be flirted with in an inappropriate way bordering on sexual harrassment. Therefore, I felt empowered to be called "Boring Kori".
So, yeah.
Boring Kori.
I'll take it!
I love the title -- it's brilliant. When I was in high school, several of my friends were developing nicknames, and they kept looking for something to call me. I went with "Just Elissa". Some of us just don't have to look to be more than ourselves!!!
ReplyDeleteI like that...."Just Elissa"! Enough said!
