I am mildly obsessed with English musician Alison Goldfrapp's name. Say it with me: Goldfrapp. It's so fun. It could work in so many contexts: as a replacement swear word ("Aw, goldfrapp, I dropped my feather boa into my drink"), a raunchy verb ("I went home with him and we goldfrapped for hours"), an obscure sport popular in Scandinavian countries ("Halla, I am Fjord Bjorn, zee Swedish national goldfrapp champion"), an expensive novelty iced coffee beverage ("I'll have a grande goldfrappuccino with whipped cream please"), the name of a dashing, authority-averse TV detective whose boss is always yelling at him ("Get...me...GOLDFRAPP"), the name of the aforementioned detective's villainous nemesis, frequently screamed at the skies while our hero kneels over a dead body and shakes his fist ("GooooldfraAAAAAPPPP!"), or even as a noun for something sort of squicky ("Shoot, I got goldfrapp all over my Jimmy Choos").Unfortunately, if she's not careful, it could end up in our lexicon as, "Oh my God, that woman is totally pulling a goldfrapp," or "I almost goldfrapped myself when I saw that shirt." Behold:
Business-disco wear created with a mosaic of sequins? This wouldn't even pass muster in Guys and Dolls On Ice, let alone the regular world. So sit down honey---you're goldfrapping the boat.

You are a mess, but a good mess! I love reading your blog. It is very delightful and funny. I had a feeling you had not received any positive news from your testing. God is preparing you for something wonderful which will happen when He is ready for it to happen. You are one of the few positive people I know, don't loose sight now! Keep your chin up!
Your unanal friend,

Goldfrapp. What a great word. My girlfriend once dated a guy from Holland. His name was Roald Frogness -- that's pronounced "Rolled Frogness"...as in, "I drank WAYYY too much Goldfrapp and rolled frogness all over my Jimmy Choos!" LOL, GREAT POST!
