What does your name mean and why did your parents choose it for you? 
Submitted by mommy2two.

Lo·re·lei       (lôr'ə-lī', lō'rə-)  Pronunciation Key 
n.   A siren of Germanic legend whose singing lures sailors to shipwreck.

my parents chose it because they named all of their children after music/songs.  i apparently was named after a mythological siren who killed sailors.

in reality, i lure men with my awesome karaoke skills!

When was the last time you made a drastic change to your personal style (i.e., wardrobe, hairstyle, etc.)? What did you do? 
Submitted by miyna. 

3 days ago.  i cut about ten inches of my hair off!  it'll get donated to locks of love as soon as i get off my butt and actually mail it in.
