Digital Composition-“Heather Forecast”

I have done little art, so, I do not consider myself an artist, but a permanent work in progress. I say this because I admire those who have the maturity to take on the challenge of exposing their ideas to the world. In regards to my work, my biggest achievement has been when the people of the place where I work selected one of my paintings to be put on permanent display. I am thankful for that. I am not submitting because of my name but because my virtual girlfriend and virtual affair are both called Heather. So you could say that I am a "Heather Lover". Both of them know of each other, so I believe that the unwritten rule is that as long as the other is called Heather, they are fine with it. So, in order to keep up with them I realized that I need a tool that would give me the 'Heather Forecast'.

My name is very long and it is foreign which creates a multitude of problems. For example, calling my bank usually takes half hour, of which, 20 minutes are spent spelling my name to the operator and making sure he/she got it right. My name is very long and it is foreign which creates a multitude of problems.

Have I ever wished I was named something else? Never.
