I get the biggest kick out of my new name...Asselin. I love to watch people in general, but I especially like to watch them struggle with the notion to call this beautiful amazon goddess an Ass...elin. Most can't look me in the eye and say it. They will turn their eyes to the ground or away and mispronounce it. I look at them and say, "It's like Ass, I know, it's funny!" Some people look at me like I'm nuts and others smile, as if to say, "Ah look at her, she's retarded, she doesn't know she has a funny name."
When I told my ex-husband, he laughed, "What did you say? Ass licker?" I imagined him being one of Beavis or Butthead, probably the latter. But it was funny and I just adore it! I get the biggest kick out the snickers, so that I can repeat in a Beavis and Butthead voice, "Ahhh, she said Ass...Ahhhh ahhhh!"
It's memorable and funny! I know people remember me when they meet me and that's the point!
Once in a while I meet someone who isn't afraid to say Ass. I look them in the eye and there's a slight smile, like they get it. That's when I know it's perfect!
I used to be "AB", Then I was "A to Z" and now I'm "A Squared". It fits with the Squared Pig thing, and the fact that I'm a math wiz and the fact that I'm at the top, times two! It's the name of my business!
I have since created pottery cups that have the "AssMan" logo on them, but I made one especially for me....Mrs. AssMan! :)
