Beaver? what's in a name

So yesterday I was IMing my bestest and telling her that I had just started blogging. Naturally she asked for my blogging name and I suddenly came over all shy and told her I would tell her in a few weeks when I have got the hang of it all. Well this led to an international phone call and a focussed interrogation. After 10 minutes I capitulated and told her "Delicious Diva"

I wasn't mentally or emotionally prepared for the howls of laughter I heard at the end of the phone. You know, the kind of laughter that carries you along but you are a little slower cos you don't completely get the joke?

I was perplexed. Ok, so I'm no supermodel but I scrub up quite nicely as my ex told me. So why the laghter. We rang off and she was still laughing about me not staying anonymous for long with a name like that. I went along but felt deflated.

If the one person who knew me well didn't think I could do Delicious then I was not going to be able to carry this alter ego off. I mean, we all choose names that reflect our inner selves as opposed to our everyday images.

I texted her soon after and told her that she had single handedly ended my blogging career. We to-ed and fro-ed for a while and then I broke it down for her. Before selecting the name I had spoken to the same said ex and asked him if DD was an appropriate name. He was clear that I had diva like qualities and that I was tasty. Ergo DD was born.

Then she real was in fits of hysterics. All this soul searching and self doubt was over the fact that she had heard Beaver as opposed to Diva.

Maybe I should be writing this to BT and asking them to get me a better telephone connection cos some mistakes can be soul shattering .....for all of 20 minutes but, that's long enough to question your name.

My first blog

So I want to take this slow, not rush.

You know relax, slow down. pace myself.

Enjoy it, taste it, savour it, remember it at random times and smile to myself. Laugh and hold back the tears.

I think its too late for anonymyity because some of you will definitely recognise yourselves but, just in case it isn't.....I'm going to try to maintain the mystery for as long as I can.

Oh and don't get too excited, slow your roll there Mister. Put it away. This isn't one of those sensationalised blogs about sex or being a call girl or anything like that. Why not you ask? Do I have a moral objection to the obvious use of the internet for such nefarious purposes? Hell no, I just don't get enough sex to write a blog on a regular basis. I wish the opposite was true but alas, as delicious as I purport to be, there are only a select few these days that get to lick this lollipop!

Ok, you're boring me now so I'm going to go and eat some chocolate. Just discovered Eat have jumped on the band wagon and sell those morish cornflake bites. Bit of a rip off compared to the M and S ones but.......a fix is is fix! mmmmm.....can you taste it?

Mwaah
