The Benefits of Having an "A" Name

Touch screen phones are pretty awesome, but when your name starts with the letter "A", they're even more fantastic! I have found over the series of a couple of years now that having a name that starts with the letter "A" comes with some exciting benefits...especially when your friends own touch screen phones. Because the letter "A" happens to be the first letter in the alphabet, "A" names happen to be the exceptionally lucky individuals who have the unique privilege of receiving unintentional phone calls from their dear friends. I have thoroughly enjoyed this unique privilege. I get to hear people in their element and they don't even have a clue. It's really quite exciting. I love my name. 
Top Conversations:
1) One of my best friends singing her lungs out to Paramore.
2) Boy I dated for a while unintentionally called whilst on a date with another girl. I had a really long voicemail with their whole conversation about the benefits and disadvantages of changing ward boundaries.
3) Friend was hiding in the fridge at work because crazy lady was yelling at her. All I could hear was labored breathing and rummaging around of stuff (I guess that would have been stuff in the fridge?)
4) Friend who was talking to themselves in the car about stuff they needed to do when the got home ( I think). That's what I deduced from the conversation anyways.
I love having a name that starts with the letter "A". My parents were very wise in choosing my name.


Thanks for making my day a great one technologically-advanced-awesome-friends.

  1. Oh my! I think that post was directed at me and my unintentional butt phone calling :) I think the funniest one is me singing to Paramore at the top of my lungs (embarrassing? Yes!) Love it!

  2. This is great! Lol. It is lots of fun having a name which starts with A, I agree completely. The best pocket call I got was from a friend while he was interviewing for a pizza job. I got to hear their entire conversation.
