yah. that's my name.

autumn.

as you might imagine, with a name like autumn, i have heard ALL the jokes, and in my head, i was always coming up with some sarcastic quip that i was too afraid to say out loud.

"autumn? do you have a sister named winter or spring?"

har. har. that's a new one. never heard that one before.  hi-----larious. comedic genius, i tell ya. 

"were your parents hippies?"

no. but we might have had cooler cars and listened to better music if they were.

"oh...it's summer...does that make your name summer now?"

if i say yes, will you go away?

(hmm... that last one was kinda mean, non?)

some people have a really hard time remembering autumn.
i get called "amber" ALL the time, but also "august", "april" and "spring".
i have actually stopped correcting people.
if it starts with an "a" or has anything to do with the seasons, a color, or the weather, i'll respond.

not surprisingly, autumn is my favorite season. and not just cuz it's my name...

but for reasons like these:
