Just call me Dandy!!
Every now and then a student will ask me the meaning of my name. I tell them that I'm named after a small flower found in Scotland. If they ask me what colour or size flower, I always have to admit that I don't know.
So tonight I finally looked it up on the net... I am a small, normally purple but occasionally white wildflower found on a small shrub that grows to a height of about 1m. I saw a picture, and I don't think I'm the prettiest flower around. I asked Martina, and she said it is very common, covering hillsides in Scotland and Ireland. I wanted to know if the name was given to many girls, and she laughed, and said - "That would be like calling someone Dandelion!" LOL!! So... just call me Dandy, and think of me every time you're about to step on a dandelion!! ;)

Hey, Ben here, finally got an email from your dad with your blogspot address, so I had a bit of a look, haven't had time to read up all of them yet, but it sounds like you're having a good time. I have a blogspot too, but I don't use it much, so far just to rant a bit about some other stuff I have seen printed about, I might post some of my favourite essays and stuff, or just rant some more. Check out the interstellar laundrette, if you have nothing better to do. B.
