Holy shiv

I've been wanting to write here for a long time but ironically, the things I want to put down are...well, the blog used to be much more anonymous. I'm either going to have to get over it, go ahead and spill it sin miedo, or pick up the old, analog pen and paper. For now, I wanted to shed some light on why this blog is named Holy Bras.
It all started when my friend Brad and I would text each other certain exclamations. All this is common knowledge now but we found it quite amusing that "holy shit" would come up as "holy shiv", and as well, "holy crap" would initially come up as "holy bras". We spent many nights on my porch in the summer doubled over laughing each time the use of these terms would come up in our everyday conversations. Now I find myself even speaking the words "holy shiv" and I just chuckled as I wrote it. I don't know why. I just always think of those nights on my porch laughing hysterically with Brad while my downstairs neighbor yelled at us to shut up. When I decided to put the link to this blog on my FB account, I was afraid of what people might think of the name; and by people, I mean those FB ghosts who show up eventually from the past. But as I sit here and remind myself how the name was born, I feel silly for my embarrassment. That memory is one of my top treasures.
