I spent the better part of a year of Junior High trying to transition to my middle name. It didn't take.
When I was 12 I campaigned hard to get the family to call me Stevie. Didn't work.
I had a whole section about civic pride.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I intended to spend a week being called by my middle name and my father looked so wounded I only really lasted ten minutes.
However, at capoeira I will go by an entirely different name. Just about the only context.
I still want to change my last name to de la O, though.

My circle of friends in college included Big Dan, Little Dan, Drunk Dan, Boston Dan, and Squirrelly Dan.
We had a similar bunch with Phils. Orch Phil, Plant Phil, Gay Phil, Sexy Phil...I think there might've been another one...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Those are the BEST! I need to save that for tomorrow.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Is that different from Suzanne?
Yes, no z sound, just a soft s. Sus-sanne.
There is only one person in the world who can call me Sue. My best friend who lived across the street from me many, many years ago. Her name was Xochiquetal. I'd call her Xo (So) and she called me Sue. Anyone else who tries it gets the death glare.
I also answered to Fred for a part of high school.

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)
Those outfits are, uh, special.
I understand the sentiment they were going for with Miss Chile, but she looks like a Tribute from District 12. I think Miss Universe might kill slightly fewer people than the Hunger Games.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Damn, didn't Hitchcock make a movie about tonight's nightmares?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
My home internet was out when I got home. Now it seems to be back enough to let me get to here, but not enough to let me get to Gmail or for tivo to think it's connected to the internet.
eta: That's weird, right?

Because books.
That is weird, Perkins.
