Words

A deadline is negative inspiration. Still, it's better than no inspiration at all.

Round and Round Again

For those of you who weren't around a year ago when we came up with a name for my journey next year, there was this great name that ended up being the 'winner'. Of course, in the way of my world - one of the people who I moved this site because of was the person who actually came up with that name.

So. What to do?

Rename? Leave it called "Navigating the Warm Bits" until closer to the end of the year and then revert back to the original name? Which I can't even write because then it can be used to search for me. (arg).

I'm torn. It was a GREAT name. But now, it bothers me. It's tainted. Yanno?

Anyways, there were three other names I liked and one new one I've added so if you could be so kind as to tell me if you really like any of them, then I'll take that into consideration while deciding what the hell to do.

For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about - I'm spending a year living as far below my means as possible, paying off all my debt, finally getting my dual UK citizenship and then... leaving. The other blog at the moment contains only a map but the idea is to be gone at least two years and to maybe not come back to Canada. In the last few months, I've sold almost everything of value I have, used it to finance a move to live in an RV in my hometown, rented out my condo, doubled my yearly income and am well on my way to having everything paid off.

In a nutshell.

So, it's serious. This plan of mine. And the name is too. So leave a comment (there are two based on my name - Jen - and two not) and help me out. (Again, for some of you).

1.    (Off On A) Tanjent

2.   Circumnavijen

3.  The *gets out more* Tour

4.  The Unadulterated Boogaloo Tour

I'm snorting Diet Dr. Pepper through my nose at #3. But I like the Tanjent, too.

I can't remember if that one was James or PB. One of them, the funny boys.
I am sorry to say, I can't remember what you named your trip. I went back over to look and the archives are closed, so darn, now my curiosity is going to kill me.

All of these names are good, but I kind of like what you have listed at the top of the page, Jen In Motion. How about the Jen In Motion World Tour? But I guess if I had to pick one of these, I would pick number 1, (Off On A) Tanjent. What ever you call it, I hope is quenches your soul.

Tanjentially Yours

Jen-i-Tale-ia (bwahahahaha)

IntransiJen(t)

why the hell didn't i think of these before!?

of the four you've put up, if i was forced at gunpoint to make a choice, i'd get my head blown off because i can't choose between 1 or 2.

and while i'd like to take credit for #3 (unless there's another james out there in JenReaderLand that you were referring to), i don't think it was me who came up with it.

I wasn't around a year ago so I don't know the name. How about taking a page from spammers and just spell the words wrong but make them look the same. Search engines won't pick it up.

Just a thought.

Take care

ReJeneration? I like the Boogaloo suggestion. Though really, the name's the littlest detail, isn't it? :)

i'm 99% sure 'off on a tanjent' was me and about 10% sure i did circumnavijen too. but airborne pathojen was just so much better.

i reckon you DO need a new one tho. i really like vanessa's -- fits well how you feel at the moment.

i am feeling violently undercreative at the moment. or rather, still. but i'll stick it in the subconscious and we'll see what he comes up with. no promises, sadly.

Daily A-jen-da. That's as creative as I get. I like Jen, also's, though. Or Off on a Tan-jent. Big help, aren't I? :)
