very funny. I can agree with you on the phone thing--sometimes, when you're really into something--it sucks to have people call you. I laughed outloud at the part where you (? you?) remembered the other phones. write more!! (and thanks for reviewing mine!!)

I love that concept--that names look like people, and especially that they're life-changers. And we've all felt upset with our own names at some point before. Good job.

Oh, and you should read The House on Mango Street, by Sandra Cisneros. I think that's her name. It's very parallel.
