Call Me Jude

Facebook prediction about me (absence of apostrophe in the original):

youll certainly fade into obscurity very quickly

My thoughts on the subject: I've been obscure  (in the clearly intended sense of "not famous or acclaimed") my entire life, so no fading required.

On the other hand, I do sometimes aspire to, at least, notoriety.

"Being notorious is not the same as being famous, but it’s better than being anonymous." -- Robert Stacy McCain

"Notoriety wasn't as good as fame, but was heaps better than obscurity." -- Anathema Device in Good Omens, by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman
