Whats up with Michael

[cycocelica]

Hahaha. I am from Redmond too, Sammamish actually. Just off at college now. Great place to live/grow up

Where you off too? I love it over there, but it can get extremely boring.

How come in most TV shows at the moment the main character is named Michael?

...Michael - Lost (Seasons 1 & 2)...

"Lost" has no main character.

You know how people say that "John Smith" is the most common name? I have never met a John Smith.

I have met a James Smith, though. Blandest name I've come across, and yet I still haven't met John Smith. What's up with that?

I have a friend named "Jeff Smith," he says he always gets funny looks when he checks into hotels.

It's really interesting how names come in and out of style. This website has a nice graphical representation:

Assuming that the data is legitimate, this is a pretty cool site.

The popularity of my name peaked in the 1920's, when it was ranked 155. It dropped like a rock after that, and by 2003 it was no longer in the top 1000. Oh well.

California, Chapman University specifically...they have a good film school. What HS did you go to? I went to Eastlake. I love the plateau. Haha and there are plenty of things to do! Well at least in the summer, with lake sammamish and lake washington and seattle only 15 min away
