He named a moon after you.
I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Now tagless for your comfort.
Cash, apparently the ScarJo pictures are definitely real.
I have one nude photo of my ass on my phone from where I lost a sharpie fight and my teammates wrote "exit only" on my ass in Las Vegas. But you can't tell it's me.
Thanks for the support, guys. Schizophrenia is a real treat. I keep telling myself at least he's not in prison or institutionalized but my parents are aging rapidly and just can't deal with a 6' 180lb man when he's convinced they're trying to kill him by poisoning the tap water.
I've talked to the SW about finding him alternative living arrangements. Joe draws SSDI so he should qualify for some sort of subsidized, low-income housing. Dad's his trustee and can pay his bills, dole out spending money and make sure he has groceries. We have enough family to help him out with rides, etc. He just can't fucking live with our parents anymore. It's getting too dangerous.
I love him and he's a perfectly nice guy as long as he gets his meds. And stays sober. *sigh*

Thrive to spite them
I had a teacher in middle school who refused to use nicknames and only used first names. This was a problem for a classmate whose name was Vicky. The teacher kept calling her Victoria and Vicky would refuse to answer because that wasn't her real name.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
He named a moon after you.
He's very silly.
Don't tell him I said that.

In happier news, Owen brought Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azikaban home from the school library. He's almost through Sorcerer's Stone and I told him if he reads all the books, I'll buy him the Lego Hogwarts Castle.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I feel that the named always gets to choose what they are called, whether it's a nick, or a long version or an honorific. Unless, of course, it's an elderly person or someone like that, in which case it's more polite to let it slide.
I always ask new employees what they want to be called. Once in a while they HAVE NO PREFERENCE. You don't care if you are called David or Dave? WTF? WHAT IS YOUR NAME?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Aw man, I'm sorry Cash.

...I don't care if you call me (realname), meara, or Indy (drag name). I answer to all three. I like all three (well, OK, I like Indy and meara better, but I answer to realname a little easier because it's so uncommon...)
