What's in a name?

I probably would have started a blog sooner if I could have decided on a name.  Naming my blog wasn't quite as monumental as naming my children, but it was right up there.  Even though I knew it would be relatively easy to change the name of the blog (as compared to the complexity involved in changing the name of a child), I still wanted to get it right on the first try.  So, I agonized, thought I had made a decision several times, and then agonized some more.

At one point I was pretty sold on It's Not About Me.  Usually a fair amount of a blog is about the blogger -- her life, job, hobbies, thoughts -- but I don't want my blog to be totally self-centered.  Not that anything is wrong with that.  I read several blogs with that focus and I enjoy them.  I just hope that my blog will present more than a glimpse into my little world.  

Finally I decided on (ab)normal.  The title incorporates my initials and the fact that I always write them in lowercase.  I also like the play between normal and abnormal -- the tension between being just like everyone else and being different (in good and bad ways). 

(ab)normal . . . I like it.  : )
