(no subject)
When I was younger, I really really wanted a nickname. I was tired of my name, and I wanted people to cal me something that was cool. Today I sat down and thought about it, and I realized exactly how many different names I have.
*Angelah- despite popular belief, is not my real name. I don't remember exactly when, but a little over a year ago I added an 'h' to the end of my name. I also don't remember exactly why. Almost everyone caught on, though. There are a couple of people, like Nichole, (nerkey) and Daniel (senorquesa) that are stubborn, and won't add the 'h.'
*Angel- is what Mikey (bastard) calls me. Highly unoriginal. :P
*Angie- I generally hate being called Angie. Generally. There are a few certain select people whom I allow. It's such an endearing term to me, which is why it is reserved for family and people that I'm really close to. If anyone else calls me Angie I usually glare at them.
*Ang- Basically the same thing as Angie, only, containing one less syllable. Back when I was an SP Roomer, I went by Ang because it was so short, and I liked it better than Angela. I remember specifically that Matto called me
*Clang, because he wasn't sure if the ng was pronounce like in change or clang. Naturally, he picked Clang. (For the record, it sounds like the ng in change.)
*Leroy/Laroy/Larry- Another thing I picked up as an SP Roomer. For some reason, the lot of us girls had adopted boy names. Mine was Leroy. Over time it mutated into Laroy, and then Larry. Tara (tarquisha) is the only one left that remotely uses it.
*Gela- Amber (bestxxdeception)used to call me that, but doesn't really anymore. However, when my little cousins were younger, they called me Gela because little kids can't talk, and I guess it was easier to pronounce.
*Angemala- Leslie and Jonathan call me this. People love adding and subtracting things to and from my name. Leslie also called me
*Squeak/Shreik, which kind of has a double meaning. The first has to do with the sound a piccolo makes. (Because that's what I play in marching band) And the second is because I'm extremely ticklish, and I kind of squeak/squeal when poked.
*Amela- When Alexis (dairyofadyslxic) moved here she hated my name. (I'm sure she still does.) So, she called me a number of things. Amela stuck the most. It kind of rolls off the tongue, you know.
*Spike- Rhymes with ___? Yea, I got that a lot. October of 2001 I cut all of my hair off on a whim. Alexis gave birth to this nickname as well, and it's obviously self-explanatory. Squirrel's mother and little sister still call me that, and Squirrel does too sometimes.
*Uber- May very well be my favorite one. It all started when uber became part of my vocabulary. It was some time in 10th grade, when I was taking German. Eventually it became a board handle, and later on, a nickname.
*Landlubber- Joshy and Chris (cheezmuffn) both call me this. I guess I was never good enough to be a pirate, or even a wench. If anyone's a landlubber, it's you, Chris. Out there in the desert. :P
*Angelah W.K.- Should be self-explanatory.
There's also a number of pet names that I answer to as well. I probably missed a couple of nick names, but oh well.
