 love grows where my rosemary goes
It seems more and more
Of my fellow bloggers
are revealing their real names
in a comment or an e mail

or a different fake name
other than the one under their avatar
in a sense they have two fake names
anyone making fake ID’s would have a field day here
and the last names are really crazy
but I have to admit
very clever
lets not get into where everyone lives
we cant even go there right now
another story

my blogging name is roe
its not a fake name
when I signed on it never occurred to me
that some people were here
anonymously
not wanting the world to know
their true identity
for a multitude of reasons
I on the other hand told the world
Before I really knew much about blogging

Roe
Is what my brothers called me
Because they couldn’t say
rosemary
which is my real name
yes
I am rosemarys baby
My mothers name happens to be
Rosemary too

Besides being a soap opera
All my children
are rosemarys babies
yep, all 4 of them
and what little devils they are
sometimes

Most people on my side of the family
Call me Roe
My godmother calls me
Roe Roe
Started filling silly about that one at about age 10
People in my grade school
Never really called me
Another story
my high school buds called me Rose
since Im 100% irish
my wild irish rose was a great song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tn3sHf9F3QA

second hand rose was my moms signature song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AopJKfI7x-c



another story
college pals called me rosie

crackling rosie makes me smile
 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qip0xbjr0aA
 
I always wrote Rosemary in school on a paper or a test
I still write Rosemary
anytime anyone asks me to make my own name tag
But almost no one calls me that

My mother did when she was angry
"Rosemary, get over here this instant!"

I always hesitate a bit when someone asks my name
They probably wonder why
Its because I don’t know who I want to be
That particular day
to that particular group

It depends upon my mood


Sometimes I am Roe
Other times Roe Roe

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHyd8wzDzN8 


I have my rosie moments
And my good bud rose days
My name allows me
to be who ever I want to be

when I was in college a popular song hit the record charts
called
 love grows where my rosemary goes
by Edison lighthouse


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tr6H1a7YUac 

It was the only time I ever heard my name in a song

that’s another story

its a good thing we gain an hour tonight because thats about howlong it has taken me to get those stupid songs on my post. I sure hope someone listens to at least one, or I will be so sad! If you only have time for one, please choose the last one...and... does anyone want to tell me the difference between url and embedded?

"And nobody knows but me." I had an Aunt Rosemary, I loved her lots. She was six months younger than I. Yes, we are a weird family. You know my real name Roe, but keep it Mum,please. Four people call me Mum anyway. I didn't listen to the songs, I know them by heart anyway, "cracklin rosie git on down, we're gonna ...what!!"

When I first came into THOUGHTS, I had no idea that people sometimes do use fictitious names. My name is Marco by the way, and I think most people who read my crappy blog know it, since its on my initial page. I like your name. Good post!

You're lucky to have a name that allows you to who you want to be when you want be her. And all of them fit you at different times. I did not listen to any of the songs at first but after your hard work I decided to go back and listen to each one. So I will try to do that now. Not sure how far I'll make it. Thanx for the post, it was a good one.

Ah man, always loved Alvin and the chipmunks! And that Edison Lighthouse video. Remember those days? The hair and the clothes! What a riot! Thanx for the trip down memory lane.

"A Rose by any other name would smell as sweet...." Oh wait, you don't smell do you? Cuz that would be a bit incongruous with your beautiful name. And then we'd have to change your name to Swamp Rat or Armpit Girl...nah! You don't seem like a smelly person :)

URL -- the web address (usually starting with http:// etc.) where one would find the video on the YouTube site. Think of an address on an envelope. When you include this URL in your post, your readers, if they choose to use it, are taken to the YouTube site to watch the video.

Embed -- this is used if you want to embed the actual video somewhere else ... perhaps on your web page or in your blog. When you copy and paste this code into the thoughts compose box the actual video will be displayed right in your post, here on thoughts. No need for the reader to travel to another part of the web (YouTube) to watch.

"Hugh Pizmehoff" is not my real name.

Come on and sound it out with me kids: Hugh [You]; Piz [Piss]; Me [Me]; Hoff [Off].

Kinda vulgar, huh? Maybe a new, less hostile name is in order; I'll have to give it some thought.

I found that when I give people my real name, it only confuses them .... LOL.

- Thom
[pronounced "T O M"]

[You are probably really confused now]

My dad used to call me "Heather Weather Chicken Feather", my name really is Heather, like you Roe, I didn't think about using a fake name so you are stuck with knowing my real one. I didn't like it for the longest time, but now, after almost 32 years, its grown on me. :) Cute post.

Whenever I see or hear 'Rosemary' I think of Simon and Garfunkel's song Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme, sorry, lol. =D Rosemary, a beautiful name, however. :o)

The name in my profile 'Sydney' unfortunately is my real name. Like yourself and Heather, it never entered my mind to use a pseudonym.

I mostly get called Syd or my nickname by family, friends, acquaintances and work colleagues. :o)

Ditto, it never occurred me to use a false name. Smith, however, is not my last name. A girl's gotta have some secrets! Good post, roe!

Roe..I use an alias so my hubby does not find my blog. I wanted a private place to write my thoughts. Since I sometimes complain about him, he would be hurt and unhappy that I put that out into the world. I also did not want stalkers, or any such fun stuff to happen due to what I might say. I say I live in Alabama on my profile..but if you read my blog..you can tell I live in Tenn. That is to throw my hubby off. He has been on thoughts browsing around because he has seen me on it several times. Ha!
Oh well. Thought I would come clean. Love all of the songs by the way. Nice post!!

peace :0 shemelts

A lot of people know my first name, but I hid everything else because I wanted to hide this place from my family. I wanted a private place to write and day whatever I wanted. Kinda like shemelts, I change my info a lot so people in my family who see me on here and go to look for me don't know its me. Haha.. soo secretive some of us are! But, my closest Thoughts friends know the truth of it all. :)

Great post by the way! :)

The first person I ever met named Rosemary was a long black haired girl with braided pigtails. We were passing time on the same playground. She and I were climbing on this jungle jim and waiting for the public pool to open. We introduced ourselves. I told her I liked her name and she told me I was pretty. I smiled and said no I am not! I have too many freckles. She said, those are where the angels have kissed you. I laughed and said you are funny. We played all day together but I never saw her again.
