What's in a name?

Blog name, to be precise.
My blog name, if you want specifics.
So, what's in it?
Well, blog names are supposed to be somewhat catchy, intriguing, and easy to remember.  They don't absolutely have to be, but it's nice.
Actually...  for good or bad, they're really important.  I mean, suppose you're looking at a friend's profile.  And you see the list of blogs they're following.  What do you do?  Well, if you're in the mood, you may click on one.  How do you choose which ones to click on?
The name.
Leastways, that's how I choose.  And unless you're planning on reading every single one, I don't see that there is any other possible way to choose.
So you need a good name.
Like most things, I tend to obsess somewhat about that.
In other words, I made and deleted a whole bunch of blogs, changing the name each time.  xp
My first thought was: Long Live!!  My favorite Taylor Swift song ever, by the way, and also an awesome name.
Longlive.blogspot.com.
Taken.
Hmm...  Okay...  Longlonglive.blogspot.com.
Also taken.
Longliveforever.blogspot.com?
Also taken.
So I chose longliveforevers.blogspot.com, and called it Long Live.  Set, hey?
Two hours later, jump back onto the computer: Viva la Vida!!  I love that song/name!  The obvious url (vivalavida.blogspot.com) was taken.  Screw Spanish grammar (hey, Imma French girl!  ^-^), and let's go with vivalavidae.blogspot.com!
So great!!  I customized the design and started my first post...  Skip to next day.  Illogical Reality!!  Yes!!!  Taken...  well, I could change the url a bit, but I'll just see if there are any others that aren't.  Insensible reality?   Paradoxical reality?  Ah...  Equivocal Reality!!  Yes, taken, but that's just too epik to pass up.  So here we have: equivocalrealities.blogspot.com.  Made it, and wrote the first post.  :D
But...  well, reality isn't exactly equivocal, just...  hard to understand, for us sadly limited humans.   Unfathomable.  Yes...  Unfathomable Reality!!  Switch the second word to 'realities', and it's perfect!!  And honesty... there's nothing harder to fathom than this strange thing we call Reality.
So I did that, reset my settings again, and...
Well, I had to get off the computer.  So, I was praying with my mom and siblings that night, when the perfect, absolutely perfect blog name popped into my head.
And then after we were finished...  I had forgotten it.  >.<
'Tis sad.
Oh well.
But hey, I like Unfathomable Reality.  It's pretty good, or at least okayly good, don't you think?  :p

Hi there!!

Hi!!!
Welcome to my blog, Unfathomable Reality!
Now, if you know me (which you probably do... it'd be a bit creepy if you're a completely random stranger who came across this...), you're probably thinking something like: 'Jeez, this is like the third blog Shadoe has started!  What's to stop her from discontinuing this one like she did the first two?'
Well...  Nothing really.  Except my own determination, or pitiful lack thereof.  But I hope I won't!  My first blog had only one post.  My second made it to five, and was regularly updated for more than a month!  So if we increase that number by another half order of magnitude... this one should get to 25, right?  Okay, so that's still pathetic, but too bad.  I'll try again.
So...  Why exactly am I starting a whole new blog?  For the simple reason that my posts on the old one now seem unbearably childish, in spite of the fact that it's only been a few months since then.  Cuz I'm just that way.  ^-^
So yeah.  Here's something you could do for me if you want this to continue...  Comment!!
Other than that, pester me constantly, either with emails or face-to-face to get me to update if I haven't in a while.
To that I will respond.
Probably.
