Heh. Though I just remembered that when I hooked up with Toronto during the big drag weekend in May, we exchanged phone/email on Sunday afternoon, and I wrote "[realname]/Indy". And apparently, Toronto hadn't heard it anywhere, and I hadn't actually introduced myself as anything other than "Indy". So on the roadtrip home, at one point she randomly said to her friends "Did you know Indy's real name is [mispronouncing my real name badly]??" And so when we talked on the phone a couple weeks later, she was like "Oh, is THAT how you pronounce it?!?".
Which is whatever, when it's a buffista who's only seen it in email. But when it's someone you've been making out with? Hee! Funnier and more embarassing.
OTOH, there have been people I've made out with who probably don't know ANY name for me, so....:P
I now answer to vw, v-dub, bug, Ms. Bug, and several other versions. I kinda like it.
In college (my second attempt), I started going by my middle name. I never answered to it. People would say it, and I'd be all, "Who's that?"
That's right.
Oh! It was the neicelet's birthday yesterday. We've been texting. Love. Her.
And? I don't believe the people when they say shrift's parents didn't name her shrift (ditto Madrigal).
This as well. Madrigal is Madrigal. I suspect when I meet shrift, she will never be anything other than shrift to me. meara is meara though she answers to That Other Name as well.
Heh. I get thrown by the same thing, Cindy. I've seriously been considering creating a new personal journal and making the other one fandom and fic-only. At the same time, it seems like too much bother.
Is it too early to go to bed (even if I am still at work)?
"Oh, is THAT how you pronounce it?!?"
Nephlet, when he was wee-er, used to call me Aunty Jen. Except he pronouced it Antigen every time.
I felt powerful.
Like I should give him a science lesson.
Woot! Finally (sorta) finished finishing the finished work the other person did for me as a special super-helpful favor (except for the stuff I told her the doctor needed to review, which for some reason she's returned to me so I need to hunt him down, but no way am I doing that now), and so at last homeward, where I plan to drink my weight in root beer and topple into bed.
t waves hello!
meara is meara. It's an incontrovertible truth. I know the other name but it's just... not. Nope. meara meara meara.
Is it too early to go to bed (even if I am still at work)?
How long until you get to leave? Because I am thinking nap in a cupboard could work if you can't go home and be comatose.
How long until you get to leave?
Only 25 minutes, so not long enough for a nap.
Oh well. I think tonight is going to be spent curled up in bed.
