Personalization
On my old car, I had a VT license plate that said "WTHR." That was "weather" without the vowels, and not many people got it...even knowing me. What the heck? So with my new car, I wanted something me, but something people would understand!
I racked my brain trying to come up with something good! I've always wanted this one...
However, I knew it was already taken because I always see that license plate at Lowe's! I played around with it, but nothing sastisfied me. I thought I'd "just see" if...
was available. And it was! Except, I'm not Taylor C. yet, and who knows if I even will be!
So I started to get fun with it, and looked up words like...
which was available at the time, but since I looked that up and twittered about it, it's been taken! I wouldn't want it anyway. It's not as personal as I would like for my personalized plate!
So I started thinking about what I liked...Teal!
Except my mom pointed out that my car isn't teal, and so it would look weird to have that on my blue car. Damn!
I ended up settling for this one:
Even went to the DMV to get it, but since I had JUST gotten my plates from the dealership, the DMV told me they hadn't processed it yet, so I had to wait at least a month to get new plates. Darn!
So I waited and thought about my license plate more. The one I settled for was me, but it was also a lot of other people who graduated in 2009. Plus I didn't like the idea of having a "1" for an "i". (I actually saw the 09 HOKIE plate I wanted drive by me the other day! Kinda cool, but I also thought they were the reason for my "1"! ...I'm a dork)
Finally I realized the plate that was me, and I could use letters and not numbers, except I did have to leave a letter out, but it was the same letter in both words, so I thought that was kind of neat. :)
I love it! I also picked that plate because it matches my car! I ordered it, finally got it, and Kevin put it on my car this past weekend. It's perfect.
Please don't stalk me. Thanks.

P.S. If you don't get why it isn't me...hokielove is my twitter username! (And it's my facebook username too, had to get that after we were able to pick facebook usernames!)
