[photo of really cute teenage girl] “Sometimes I hate my name because it always draws attention to me, and I’m not a very social person. My family moved this year from Pennsylvania. I was so scared the first day of school that someone would notice me. I wouldn’t even adjust my seat because I thought it would make a noise. One time I really had to cough, but I held it in. When the teacher started calling attendance, I got really nervous, because every time people learn my name is Beyoncé, somebody starts singing ‘Single Ladies.’ And some did, of course. But the second day of school wasn’t too bad. Because everyone knew my name.”

I just started following HONY on Instagram and I'm obsessed with it now.
They have an Instagram?!? Searching now.
I'm so glad I started following them on FB. I read through a few recent posts at lunch to give me a little perspective for this afternoon.
Also, I read about this thread sometime last week and got a kick out of it. It's crazy how one person becoming famous can change small talk for so many "normal" people.
