Okay wow, so first of all, I can’t believe that someone actually paid attention to my rant, and better yet the tags, second of all, wow that someone actually wants to hear about me and my boring life. You’re so kind for asking, this doesn’t happen often. Third of all, it all happened at the National Book Festival where I went to get my copy of An Ember in the Ashes signed. This book is freaking amazing, let me tell you that. I finished one morning and was freaking out because I didn’t have A Torch Against the Night, so I promptly got the e-book and finished by nightfall. Words cannot begin to describe how great it is. Sorry to have digressed from the topic. So I wandered around to the back of the book signing line where a nice volunteer asked me if I wanted my book personalized and of course I was like heck yeah. So she instructed me to write my name down on a sticky note and stick it on the second title page. I did, and then the line started moving, and the closer I got, the more my heart started to pound. I couldn’t tell if that was normal. I guess not? I don’t know. And before I knew it, it was my turn. She said, “Hi, how are you?” like any nice person, and then she said, “You have a very pretty name. How do you pronounce it?” And I told her, “Sagun. (Suh-goon)” while surprising myself because I wasn’t as flustered as I could have been. Like if an augur could read my mind, all they would hear would be OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY FREAKING GOD. Then she smiled and asked if she could keep the sticky note because she likes keeping the names of some of the people she meets at book signings. At that point, I could only nod and say thank you as I left the line. it took me a while to process and by the time I did, I had to refrain myself from screaming. Once I made my way to my mother, I thanked her for naming me. Maybe she says that to everyone and I’m just making a big deal about nothing, but my name is kind of unique, I know because I can never find my name in a gift shop, and has always a breeding ground for unwanted nicknames, and it has never been called pretty, so I feel just that much special.
