Fulfilling My Name
ONE OF THE FIRST REQUIREMENTS of my college English class was to introduce ourselves. But, instead of saying something like “Hi, I’m Aubrey and I like pets and cheesecake”, we had to say something interesting about our name.
Piece of cake to me, since I’d previously looked up the origins of my name. But there is more to it than just a song, that is only how my parents chose my name, not how the name came to be in the first place. I was proud to announce to the class at large, “My name is Aubrey, and my name means Elf Ruler”.
“Your name means what?” was the chorus of 30 voices back at me.
“Elf. Ruler. You know, like Elf Queen?”
You shoulda seen the looks that got me.

Elf Ruler. Any suggestions on taming mini elfs, that only want to jump on the tramp all day and run around like mad? I’m afraid Im rulded by a mini elf and cant join you on your quest. Do you work on Monday? We could possibly meet and talk more about the rulings of your society, altho if you are in school (IDK?) then we wont bother you.

Hm. Well I AM the elf ruler, I might be able to tame that elf for you. I don’t work today. Hanging out with Dale but we don’t have any plans at all so I might come bug you guys once I get cleaned up.
