Memories

I know how this works. While the blog is fresh on my mind I'll write in it all the time, but as time goes by I'll write in it less and less. You know, though, it's amazing how one little thing will trigger memories. I was talking to "ozma" (aka Brenda) about the blog, and she was struck by the name, as you can see in the comments. Anyway, it got me remembering how I chose the name of Kolors--it was a doll's name. It was a Skipper-type doll, but she had these rainbow streaks in her hair, so I named her Colors. I made up an entire imaginary world with her as the heroine. She could do anything in the world. I, of course, let Brenda in on this world, and we would play so many games where we fought off the evil Black Widow (sorry, fear of spiders). Brenda was really into the Oz books at the time, so she chose the moniker Ozma. We would always defeat the evil Black Widow, but he kept coming back for more. I forget what Ozma could do. Earlier this year I was at a lazer tag place, and they wanted me to choose a code name. I didn't want to be too cute, so instead of Colors I put Kolors. I got in second place in the party, one of two girls in the top ten. I am very competetive.
