Translation, Anyone???
Well, of course I Googled myself. Eventually everyone breaks down and does it. Try to Google a name like Dania Goode-Jones, though, why don't you? Please don't...I can't believe Michelle used that picture from high school for our web site.
Hell, try any variation of Goode-Jones~you'll just scare a search engine...and then try Dania. It's fun when you do a Google of Dania and Goddess. There's a bunch of pages of Dania and Goddess on the web...nothing that I was responsible for...I think. Actually, my name Dania is a variation of the letters of my mother's name, Diana. The Goode-Jones is the (legally changed) combination of my father's and step-father's last names. I could never blame anything I did on another Dania Goode-Jones. As for the Dania Goddess part, well...hey, I didn't start it, but it sounds good. Dania Elizabeth Goode-Jones Goddess. Goddess Dania...I can't decide which I like better...
Back to my original quest...although you can't fault a girl for Goddess dreaming. My Google search. There are dozens of images of "Dania" and variations of Dania on the web...none of Dania Goode-Jones,, alas...but I kinda like all the BADANIA ones. Sounds kinda wicked-like...in a Bad Santa way...Bad Dania.
I guess we all have a desire to be famous in some way. We all get a little bit of a thrill when we see our names somewhere. It's kinda cool to see Dania Goode-Jones show up on a web search, even if I do have to see that goofy high school picture along with it. And I kinda like that there's a beach town named Dania, my name...I can look at a map and see it in print. And even if it isn't me, it's pretty neat to see DANIA and BADANIA emblazoned across images on the internet. Finally I get to see something with MY name on it! I know I damn sure never found a keychain with my name on it at any store when I was growing up. I so envied all the girls named Beth and Stacy and Christy...now I get my own weird foreign books.
Of course, BADDANIA probably translates into something like "Double Thick Nylon Hose" or something just as unfortunate. Come to think of it, some of those other books could be Titles saying something like "Cooking Great Roadkill" and "Kill All Apples" for all I know. Guess I need to brush up on my...you know, I don't even have a clue what language that is. Guess I'm back off to my search for the Goddess Dania and her Support Hose. Who knows what I'll find. Maybe there IS another Dania Goode-Jones out there and I can finally prove she's the one who spray painted her name on Parish Road 17 in Epps, Louisiana back in 7th grade. Master criminal that she was.
