Gina Loves Third Person
Gina loves people talking about themselves in 3rd person. Seriously, what is up with third person? I am watching America's Next Top Model (about which I am a bit ashamed and will concede that this gives me less credibility), and some wannabe model is referring to herself by her first name when talking about herself. Until you have accomplished something of note that makes other people know you, let's keep it first person. I think there are only a select few people who have maybe earned the right to refer to themselves in third person. After much consideration, those people are: Anyone whose name or title begins with "The" (i.e.: The Dalai Lama, The Pope, The Sultan of Brunei), Oprah (even though I think she is self-righteous), Bill Gates, and Chuck Norris (pre-Total Gym endorsement). Anyone else needs to reconsider before they begin a sentence with their first name.
