Friends,
As I'm sure you creative types know, it's always fun to take a noun and make it into a verb. For example, cunt. It's a fun word to imagine as a verb, isn't it? "I cunted for an hour." "I will be cunting tomorrow." "He cunts the fork." Wonderful, no? I suppose it depends on what your verbal of cunt it. To me, it means "to grasp firmly," but I suppose cunt is open for definition.
But I was thinking about verbs the other day because of that Junot Diaz line about being Bartleby`d by his girlfriend. It got me thinking about what I would want my name to mean as a verb. Like, if I were to Bryan, or to have Bryaned, or will be Bryaning. I'd like to think it'd be something pleasant, like to have witty banter. But I got a feeling, that others might disagree that Bryaning is a pleasant thing.
What do you think? If your name would be a verb, what would you prefer it to be...and what do you think others would really believe it to be?

I would like to think "to Emily" is to organize in alphabetical order one's possessions. For example: I Emilyed all the books in our collection. Are you going to Emily the CDs?
I think I'd have to go with something more simple like "Dani" or "Danied" or "was Danying."
I think "to Dani" means to "wiggle", as in "Today I went running and my ass was totally Danying the whole way."
I think "to Bryan" is to banter...but "to Bwyan" is to limerick dirtily.
So, when I call you Mr. Bwyan and I say "hello", I think I mean, "Hi, Mr. Dirty Limerick."
I forgot to answer the second part of the question for myself.
I'll try to answer it for Emily.
To Emily: To smile with dimples.
As in: That little girl was so cute when she Emilied.
We've discussed this, but to Seth would probably be to prematurely ejactulate. This could mean both 1. to either shoot a jet of semen before you intended or 2. speak suddenly before you were prepared. To Seth is quite versatile, and quite common I've been reassured.
