Wow... zOMG really likes Saint-Saens music. In addition to the Piano Concerto that was the Bass'ken Lake battle theme, I'm listening to my sister play Village Greens and I've heard both "Fossils" and "Hens and Cocks" from Carnival of the Animals.

I don't think some of their classical music choices have fit the game, personally... maybe it's because I hate having my favorite pieces ruined by Gaia (like the Ravel one in Zen Garden) but eh, at least they've picked composers that I like.

Oh, for ******** sake. I've lost to Rubella 3 times, and now I lose to Adriana? These percentages are bullshit, Gaia. Quit ******** with me. Do you really lose any money for giving away pixel prizes? Huh? Huh?

Edit: Gah! I lost to Rubella AGAIN. Could I at least make it to level 3? I'll get you, you little brat!

Edit 2: What a bloody waste. Out of 9 famestar tickets, I failed 7 times. All of those times at or below level three and FIVE of those times before level three. And the two times I chose to take the prize, I got fish. Okay, I wanted the mermaid, but still. *sighs*

OTL

I won a poster contest for a concert at school, and I got a gift certificate for my prize. But... they spelled my name wrong.
Both first and last.

No idea. My name isn't even that hard to spell. :U I seriously hope that it was the shop that misspelled it and not the person in charge of the poster contest, seeing as how I e-mailed her my entry and there was no way it could have been illegible... ; n;

congrats on winning the contest, sorry they ******** up on your name.
To be honest though I've had my name misspelled and mine is so generic.

People misspell my name all the time. I don't get it. Lindsay is the proper spelling. All these other variations are the ********. I hate Lindsay Lohan with a passion, but I thought, "At least now people won't mess up my name." Yeah... they still do.

In third grade, before I said "******** religion," our Sunday School had beatiful black leather Bibles made up for everybody with their names embossed in gold. They spelled my name with an E! What the HELL? I filled out a form for it, and I damned sure did NOT misspell my own name.

And my dad's wife. First of all, she doesn't respect my privacy. She has to put her two cents in with every holiday card my dad sends me, and I actually changed my e-mail address because I got sick of her replying to the e-mails I sent HIM. She wants to be my "stepmom." You didn't marry my dad until I was in college! How do you figure? Anyways... she spells my name "Lynsy." Ugh... I swear she must have an IQ of 60! IT IS RIGHT THERE ON THE ******** ENVELOPE! I know my dad has my name spelled right in his address book. Terrible speller that he is, he knows how to spell his own DAUGHTER'S name. If you're going to try to insinuate yourself in my life, at least get my name right! She's not even CLOSE. stressed

I understand you all. It's ADRIAN.

A-D-R-I-A-N.

Adrien is the feminine form, dammit! ******** YOU, ROCKY BALBOA.

God, I don't even want to talk about my name... D:

My name gets spelled wrong on legal/government documents and credit cards.

You know, stuff I could get thrown in jail for


Moral of the story is, computers are stupid, and so are the people who made them. Society has zero tolerance for people who have more than one word in their first name.

Also the same. Jamie gets spelled Jaime, Jayme, and some people refuse to believe it's Jamie and insist on calling me Jimmy.

Cassandra doesn't get many misspellings, surprisingly, but it bugs me forever when people spell Casey without an e, or simply put KC. KC is the ugliest form of my name ever. e_e

Or when I clearly tell people my name is Casey and then they write Cassy or Cassey or Cassie on things. That's pretty irritating too.

The only time I can recall someone misspelling Cassandra is Ash. He would spell it Cassandara, but I thought it was endearing so never corrected him. XD

That's the first time I've had my name misspelled, actually, aside from somebody who wrote "Shawana"... I'd like to believe that was a horrible, horrible typo. My last time gets misspelled all the time, though -- people like to stick an "e" in there.

Oh my god my eyelid has been twitching/throbbing all day. It's pissing me off.

if i'm not wrong, the Adrian in Rocky spelled it with an A, too. so there you go - even more reason to hate those movies.

in fact... while Adrienne is reasonably common, i don't see Adrien nearly ever. it sounds like the people spelling your name wrong just suck at spelling. and at sounding out words, for that matter.

God I've had so many misspellings of my last name it's horrible.
Even spelling it out slowly with the radio alphabet.
R as in Romeo
E as in Echo
E as in Echo
V as in Victor
E as in Echo
S as in Sierra

I've had is spelt Reves, Reaves, Raeves, Reeds, Eaves, Reave, Reeve and several other ways.
Reaves, Reves, and Reeds are the most common.

I've just gotten in the habit of comparing my last name with Christopher Reeve, except he's singular and I'm plural, or like Keanu Reeves.

Aivi: I'm sorry for you. sad Must be a major headache getting it all fixed.
Or do you still have something with your name spelled wrong on a legal document or credit card? confused
