Something I think about often in life and in terms of conceptual art making is names, and how they affect people's lives. How does the name you have affect, limit, or influence your life? Would I be the same person if my name was different? I would say I'm slightly obsessed. I'm also slightly obsessed with birthdays for similar reasons. Chrissie Hynde has the same name (Christine!) and the same birthday as me, so I feel like we must have some sort of connection, or at least a lot of similarities. I can't decide if the fact that neither of us go by Christine strengthens or lessens the connection, but Christy and Chrissie are pretty close too, (Magic!). I'm not sure what kind of work could come out of this obsession, but I have a feeling it's the beginning of something.
And now, a Pretenders song! This one is kind of a guilty pleasure, try not to weep!
