Cacophony.  That's pretty.  What's it mean?

Spike's Bitches 29: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Oh, hush, birthday boy. In my plan, you get an extra half day of birthday, since it's already 2:30 your time.

I'm getting the pig!

And then we could have guys with Alp horns!

For me, that's why Cola didn't stick. Again I say, thank goodness.

Reading the last twenty posts or so, I guess I'm not really all that adamant about what people can and can't call me. I don't especially like the name Nikki and I tend to cringe a little when people call me Nikki but I don't get truly upset or overly bothered by it. Mostly I'm speaking of people I consider to be friends, though, when I say "people".

Total strangers that just shorten my name for some unknown reason, however, should be sent to another planet.

move out and draw fire

Daylight savings time has eaten my brain.

We've been saved from daylight for a week now, and it's still screwing with my head.

I would always think of Fay as Fay now

I always think of her as FayJay, which is fun to say..jay.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Leah, Sarah, and Rachel aren't as regularly nicked as, say, Susan, Stephen, James

In my experience, Rachel is just as ripe. It just depends on the enforcing body.

"Rache" doesn't seem as common a name as Sue, Susie, Steve, Stevie, Jim, Jimmy... that sort of thing. Off the top of my head I can't think of an actor or athlete or otherwise famous person who regularly goes by "Rache" but I can think of bunches of the others.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

In my head (a scary place) there is a difference between spoken nicknames and written nicknames. Rache is a perfect example. I had never seen it written before, but I have used it.

Just like calling K-Bug "Kel", though I'd never write that to her.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I'm okay with nicknames as long as they aren't rude. I've been called Kat, Kaff, Kaffy and Kate.

I do, however, hate it with an unreasonable passion when people spell my name with a "C." Every Cathy I've known has been another "c" word (c.f. above, rude).

Always Anti-fascist!

Just like my friend Joy said about guys of her acquaintance named Rick. "In my experience, the 'p" is silent."

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I am makeing the best of monday by watching Bride and Prejudice.

It is more fun that the kira Knightly version - because things can be changed in order to fit the culture norms. and of course, Naveen Andrews

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

My non-online name is "Heather". I never tended to get nicknamed. "Heath" didn't seemed nick-ish, nor did "Ther". (If my sister had been of a more literary bent, I might have been renamed "Blasted Heath" by her. Instead she just called me "that brat".) Thanks to the Heather popularity that came along about 5 years after I was born, I haven't had any trouble with folks spelling or pronouncing it.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

My family called me sj as a child, but almost none of my school friends called me by a nickname. When they did it was a nickname on my last name and not my first.
