“Alright first we need a name” one of us said. Pretty simple really. What’s in a name anyway? How hard could a name be? Well pretty hard actually. I umm’d and ahh’d over every suggestion including all of my own. The only thing I knew was that I wanted the tag-line to be ‘Bored Narcissists’ cause that’s essentially what we were and what the site would be about.
“Look, I don’t care, you just choose.” Ang was justifiably fed up with me.
Eventually we came up with ‘Like Totes Def’. That irritating slang of our generation, used by hipsters who can’t work out if they’re being ironic anymore and teenage girls. I adore both those types of people so I liked the name. Ang liked it too. We registered the wordpress and Ang did her design thing like the talented little cookie she is.
Then I remembered the now defunct site Like Bitchin. You may remember it, run by Derek Rielly and Chas Smith, two writers who’ve influenced Ang and I. Similar name huh?
What a bunch of second handers we are. Fiddlesticks….
So here is the site, a blog run by two second hander bored narcissists who met on the internet like a couple of kids on myspace. We’ll be going post for post, writing whatever we feel like. These insights to our lives might be interesting, they might not. But at least they’ll always be interesting …. wait. mj
