My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends--
It gives a lovely light!

Everything Monika
Name::Minka From::Reykjavík, Iceland
I am a 30 year old student at the university of Iceland, who is at this moment dedicated to the welfare of the aging part of society at Sunnuhlið. One of 7 siblings I have turned out to be somewhat of a noisy girl, with the abilitiy to play nice at times.
"riding astride a rugged pony,
children adored she's never lonely.
steady wind blows flaxen tresses,
in lover's arms she offers caresses.
bubbling sulpher springs beneath,
it has been decided and bequeathed.
in snowy climate and harsh terrain,
that overall an Ice Queen reigns."

I know you are excited, but try to contain your enthusiasm to one vote please. I have about 20 readers. If I have 234 votes, it might look suspicious ;)
Pia, I agree...Calvin is great. I can´t stop you from voting again ;) You are a free person and have to make the choice, but I think it will be fun to see a true outcome. We have enough of manipulating of votes in the world already :)
Thanks for stopping by my blog and for being comforting about my stalker. I am debating taking it down because I dont want them to know they bother me so much. So if I take down the post I hope you dont get offended that your comment isn't there anymore. I wish I could move it down to the previous post so it wouldnt disappear :). Please visit again!
don´t worry aisha. I´ll be back many times, leaving many comments...I agree with taking it down, don´t wanna gove them any attention! Thanks for stopping by!
I love Calvin...I am worried that Digory might win (I've never heard of such a name) and have been a little tempted to cheat and vote twice, but will stay true to the intention of this poll and vote one time only...then again, if Calvin doesn't win, maybe that's what I'll name my Civic.
Ap3, we will dance the bohemian dance eletric any moment now :)
Jamie, it seems to be a popular choice and what was the name you suggested again? Igor, wasn't it ;)
Squaregirl, it seems Calvin and Digory are taking the lead...I quite like it!
Keith, well somebody suggested it and I like the ring of it. Besides the huge mammoth In iceage was called Manfred, I think or at leats somethign similar...
No Doug, I drive into a Station where all the people in these dark blue overalls are and i give them my keys and say:"Could you be so nice to check my oil for me, and -if you are not too busy- I think the petrol needs to be filled up too!*movement of eye lashes* See, the thing is this...we know you guys think we can´t do it and we like you to believe that for a little while longer :) When i took my driving test, the instructor asked me to open the front of the car and I had to show him how I´d check my oil and I got full points for that my friend*she says ever so proudly!*
I favor Otto for a couple of reasons...1) It's a play on "auto" and 2) Both of my grandfathers were named Otto, which I have always thought was a better name for a machine than a person...no offense to all of the human Ottos out there.
Ok! *sulk* Jeves did not make it, so I am rooting for Calvin. Digory is for dogs I think....hmmm....you know like in Hot Digory/Digitty Dog. Am stretching it a bit? So I am voting for Calvin.....Mortimer sounds macabre to me...wonder why? :) Do I get to ride in the Drottningar Bill/Queens Car, Calvin in August? :0 That is not Bill the letter i is in place of a i with a comma instead of dot over it....it makes the word bill sound like bee-l or something like that...this is for the benefit of Monikas many friends who may not speak Icelandic :)
I didn't see The Car in the list so I went for Mortimer. I am not quite sure how these things work, can I make Mortimer win if I vote for it 50 more times or do I need 50 different IP addresses to have it done? :-)
Hi. Yes still in Scotland and now I have purchased http://kolbrun.is but the ugla one still works so don't worry about changing your link. I've not decided what to do with it yet. I've taken up your practise of writing in English since I've made quite a few friends here who may or may not be interested in my blog :)
best of luck with naming your car - I totally get what you mean with the Hon thing and I prefer Calvin over Otto as there seem to be a contest between these two. And I've participated in the poll with that opinion. Take care babe.
Just checking in to see the status of your car naming contest and to say hi.
And what an odd relief there wasn't a brain teaser Thursday as Blogger and I were out of commission yesterday so I don't feel guilty for having missed it. Did that make any kind of sense?
I am sorry you guys, I am back. I played mom to two lovely boys the last three days and it was somehwere out in the countryside...needless to say I couldn´t connect! It drove me insane, but than I decided it was a good thing to try and see how far my addiction has gone already...it turns out very!
well...lots of things. My teddies...they are called teddy bears, but they still get a name! I just need some name to greet my car when I get out in the mornings. Hi car! Sounds kinda well usual...I need to spice thigns up a little :)

Hi Monika. What if there is a tie? ;)
well, then we´ll have a new poll :) loads of fun to be had!!!
I like the name Calvin for a car or dog--my friends named theirs for Calvin Klein-but somehow there's a nice ring to hollering out Cal-vin
And can't I vote again? Please

This is getting exciting!
I'm rooting for Calvin for SOME reason.

Are you going to ask us to change your oil,, too?

I likes me the name Otto... what can I say?
Wahey!
It rhymed... I tried to be spunky but I am lost, LOST!
Hrmph!

Voted!
I voted for otto because it sounds like auto. It's perfect.
I voted. Personally I wouldn't mind seeing Digory, Otto, or Calvin win.
And speaking of voting, you made it to the top 5 caption finalists this week, Monika! :)
I didn't see The Car in the list so I went for Mortimer. I am not quite sure how these things work, can I make Mortimer win if I vote for it 50 more times or do I need 50 different IP addresses to have it done? :-)
Mortimer just sounds so reliable! and suspicious at the same time.
Otto Dumbledore, man, it rocks!
I voted.. just so you know someone didn't double up.
Calvin..
Are you actually going to name your car Otto if it wins?
Only one vote? what if I want to change my vote?
You know Monika, sometimes things have a way of naming themselves. Perhaps you should wait & see...

Otto.
i voted once.
but i'm thinking of sending bots to vote.
lol, just kidding.
This was the Thursday brain-teaser?
Just checking in to see the status of your car naming contest and to say hi.
And what an odd relief there wasn't a brain teaser Thursday as Blogger and I were out of commission yesterday so I don't feel guilty for having missed it. Did that make any kind of sense?
Considering I suck at brain teasers, this was much easier for me.
Unfortunately I can't remember what I picked. Pffft.
Do you have any idea how tempting you're making it to cast a second vote? Was gibt's?
I am sorry you guys, I am back.
I played mom to two lovely boys the last three days and it was somehwere out in the countryside...needless to say I couldn´t connect! It drove me insane, but than I decided it was a good thing to try and see how far my addiction has gone already...it turns out very!
Naming your Honda, what else have you named that isn't ordinarily given a name?
well...lots of things. My teddies...they are called teddy bears, but they still get a name! I just need some name to greet my car when I get out in the mornings. Hi car! Sounds kinda well usual...I need to spice thigns up a little :)
