Read my lips, they're famished. No I meant famous! FAMOUS!
Apparantly you have to look like this, some say:
...to make a difference in the world. The boyfriend and I have discussed the options if surnames for any potential children, and it has been settled that it would be better for them to have a standard Swedish surname as opposed to a non-Swedish surname seeing a how them having a foreign sounding surname might barr them from the job-oppertunities that would be rightfully theirs should they be "seen" as traditionally Swedish. No-one wants their son or daughter to be holding a doctor's degree in supremely massive doctorship in the one hand and a limp mop in the other, just because you have a funny name - as is the situation today(?)
LingLing! Oh LingLing what have you become. ;-(
So the obvious choice is to rename your kid, or better yet, yourself, Sven this or Inga that. Save the dissappointed stare of dissaproval for the actual meeting, when they realize that you look like a Mustafasven or an Inga-San.
"Sorry, you were good on paper, but the position was filled. When?Hmm. Soon.........................Ish"
Someone has to make a stand. BUT I just don't think that you need a name and the lips the size of a substantially large third world country to do so.
I'm not bitter. I'm just a Chinese-sounding Thai-looking girl from a small Caribbean island - with plans of grandeur. With that one fabulous underlip. And I DON'T do windows.
