I'm Athena de Padua, a disorganized individual. Well, that doesn't matter. I print shirts to kill time and accidentally get money from it. When I grow up, I don't wanna grow up. I may be interesting, I may be not. It depends on you.

I really don't know what to say about myself since I'm not used to describing “me” accurately, besides the fact that it’s 2:47 a.m. and I'm only half awake. Anyway, since you took time to read this *Thank you*, I'd rather tell you something about “me”.

I like my name a LOT since it's "unusual"... but sometimes, having an unusual name put you in unusual situations. Well, you see, since I was a child, everytime somebody would ask my name and I would of course reply "Athena", they would look like *"What? Pardon?", heads twisted, ears put closer to my face*, so I have to repeat it slowly and loudly like "A-thee-nA" so that they could understand. Sometimes, or should I say usually, they still don't get it that they would mistake it for other rhyming words/make-up names.

One time I was in a fast-food chain, the cashier had to get my name, so I said "Athena". And the now-usual-what?-pardon?-thing happened AGAIN. Since I don't want long conversations over the counter, I suddenly came up with telling her... "Kim". Why "Kim"? Cause it's a three-letter-no-more-questions-asked-easy-to-spell-one-syllable-ok-may -I-go-now?-name. Solved!

It worked quite well for the majority’s advantage. So maybe next time I stop by a Cafe *the ones that get your name and write it on the cup*, beware those of you who have three-to-four-lettered names. I may be using them once in a while. Boys, don't feel safe... I'm more up to using yours.
