Writer's Block: Nicknames

[lulu_vox]

Okay, LiveJournal, why do you keep eating the first half of this entry?? Do it again and I will cut you!!!

This is from the stupid front page of the site. I decided to answer it. I am now regretting doing so after attempting to fix their cockup about five times. I am nothing if not tenacious. Anyway, their dumb question was "What is your nickname

Comments

[limpid_sybarite]

Aww, cute! I have never had a nickname I liked... just a few people who insist on calling me Ang no matter how many thousands of times I say I hate it.

[lulu_vox]

Hehehe...yes, I can think of one person who calls you Ang pretty much exclusively, and I think she's actually said that she has no plans of stopping!

Don't forget the wonderful Amanda + Nick mashups!

[lulu_vox]

Oh, HOW could I forget?!

aw! i'm so flattered you even remember this.

[lulu_vox]

Well yeah! You still use it from time to time around these-here parts, ya know.

[bandit_de_coeur]

i guess you're right.

[lulu_vox]

I think I am. Unless I'm not...but I'm pretty sure I am. Gosh, I don't know!

[bandit_de_coeur]

by the way, i have garnered many a nickname throughout my life, based--unfortunately--on the fact that 'dick' is a nickname for 'richard.'

the most 'clever' one of all had to be the name some kids thought up in middle school. it was 'richard cranium' ('dick head').

[lulu_vox]

Hahaha, okay...that is pretty clever for middle-school kids. It sounds very punk-band-name-y. I like punny names that aren't glaringly obvious.

Like Joe Strummer.

[bandit_de_coeur]

joe strummer? i am missing something. it is obviously not glaringly obvious to me. :P

[lulu_vox]

Joe Strummer. Like Joe Public or Joe Whatever-else. Just your average guitar player. His real name was John Mellor.
