i was a strange little girl  - i didn't name things. i called them by
their noun.

my bear was 'bear' for example.

my other sisters named their stuffed aniumals full names like Victoria
Jennifer, and other such long grandiose names.

i had a doll, once i think - i called it girl. it died a horrible death
while exploring the amazon. (: my doll didn't do tea.

anyway, now i don't name things either. my car is a car.

except you kind of have to name computers, programs and the like. my
computer is hobbiton.
