Hey! (That’s my friendly, Mississippi-Georgia-South Carolina-based greeting for all you who have stumbled across Lisa on the Internet…I said, "Hi," to someone the other day and was greatly saddened because my southernness seems to be rubbing off.) I’m Lisa Lacy. I had a PE teacher in junior high who told me it’s a movie star name. A stupid boy in the Navy told me it’s a porn star name. There’s a guy at the Daily Bruin who refers to me as THE Lisa Lacy. And my Art History TA told me that I have the greatest name she has ever heard. Ed told me that he was sorry about my name. And Yosuke said it was like Julia Gulia. The "Lisa" is Hebrew—I think it means something like, "God’s little patient one" or "God’s little humble one"…either way, it was a bull’s eye on my parents’ part. The "Lacy" actually belongs to my grandfather’s stepfather. Technically, I should be "Lisa Smith." But, "Lisa Lacy" has a nicer ring to it, I s’pose.
