Some how, I get referred to as ‘Lily Martin’. Not, Lily Mae Martin, my actual name. People tend to drop the ‘Mae’ without a second thought. I don’t get it, isn’t ‘Mae’ important? I mean, that is my name!! It’s a shame. And it’s even more of a shame as I have noticed it seems to happen a lot with press. So, if there is any chance that anyone is interested in finding my work, they probably wont. I googled ‘Lily Martin’ (yes, I googled, got a question, ask google. This was a worry to me and I have to have evidence for the argument!) Guess what? Nothing! Nothing to do with me, other ‘Lily Martin’s'…None of them me..(except one image from design files, again, my name is wrong!)
So,I know it’s hard for people to not abbreviate, and drop things that they think don’t matter, but maybe ask first before doing that. We people with longer names like our longer names. If we didn’t, we would have abbreviated long ago and introduced ourselves as such. But seeing how I haven’t, and I wont, don’t drop my Mae. I like her too.

I think doing late night research on different types of fats and saturated fats in cooking oil has made me mildly paranoid and I should really just got to sleep now.

Time to catch some Z’s!!!
