On October 13th,2004, which happened to be a Wednesday, I posted this to my previous blog. I am amazed at the way my writing style has changed. It is fascinating to see how I moved from Miss.Uppish Angry to,well, the present. I leave the title blank because I do not wish to speculate. Mood: Cheerful.

Crippled Ideas

So people keep asking me this question : what does tololy stand for? what does the word mean? who came up with it?and to all the curious folks out there , i say : BLEH.

Like when i tell someone, a new friend of mine for instance : “hey! people who are close to me call me tololy, i’d like it if u called me that too.” why,oh why, does that person HAVE TO dwell on the fact that such a word doesn’t exist in any language she/he knows? lol doesn’t that person
see the flag ? i am telling her/him that i consider her/him to be a close friend and that i want to
reward her/him by letting her/him call me sth special.

As time passed by, and i got to know more people, and had to live with numerous questions concerning the ever mysterious “tololy”, i developed an answering formula. I’d always reply to those who ask me what it stands for :
“OH, it stands for ME” . and I’d have this arrogant smile on my face, because i am telling them that i have 2 names that have absolutely nothing in common. Therefore, by some twisted formula, i am better than all those who only have one name. And i am also better than those who get called “common” names. as in, say, Mohammad becomes Hammoudeh. what is that? it’s not unique.

Someone once asked me to elaborate on the “it stands for me” statement. so i said : ” Tololy is me, and I am Tololy. This word exists with a single meaning only, me. in the whole world there exists one tololy and that one tololy is sitting right here with you. this word represents me as an individual and you will hear it nowhere else”. that person drooled.

Another interesting question i hear alot is this: ” so who came up with the name? who invented it?”. I always say : ” I dont know”. Oh but I do know.

As far as i can remember it was my eldest sister,i was still at school at the time, probably 5th or 6th grade. and she kept singing a catchy song from a TV ad, the ad was about some sort of chocolate called Tivoly or sth similar. Then, by some odd chance or game or call it what u may, she called me Tololy. The 2 words rhyme. not funny at all, so wipe that smile off your face
you!
The name caught on, and by time everybody in the family started calling me Tololy or Tolol. And i loved it. Coz well, HELLO!, my real name is a true legend in length. lol very unique though.

There came a time when nobody called me tololy, then it was brought back to life by me.
Nowadays everybody who knows me well enough knows what to call me when they want
something. Tololy. that’s the key to my heart. One last thing before I stop blurting, I think they call a super fast train in Japan tololy. and some other thing in turkey, i forgot what that thing was. hehehe i always stay updated about what happens with my UNIQUE name, it’s been a while though since i last checked it out. oh well… im still super kewl. cheerz
