see ya, wouldn't wanna be ya.
So I rename people. A lot.
The following is an example of the thought process it takes to get to an appropriate nickname:
Emily: "What's his name? Ray?"
Jay: "Levi."
Emily: "Oh. I am going to call him 'Jean'."
Laura: "I'm sure he's never heard that before."
Jay: "Yes, very original."
Emily: "Five pocket!"
Emily: "Boot cut!"
Emily: "Wide leg!"
Emily: "Flare!!!"
Emily: "Light wash..."
Emily: "Stone wash..."
Emily: "Saved by the Bell!"
Emily: "Oh, I'm calling him Zack Morris."
And that was that.
Also, I realized today that I have a serious attitude problem. That's not earth shattering news, I know. However, when encountered by people I do not know, I automatically assume that they are an asshole. Most people, upon making eye contact with a friendly stranger, will smile and say "hello!". My first reaction? "WHAT." Followed quickly by "Get Out Of My Life." Maybe the world has jaded me and I have serious trust issues. Or maybe it's just the fact that I really think I am better than everyone.
