Oh mah head. Ow.
The Name Meme:
If you call me regala_electra, then clearly you only know my lj name and er, don't call me that.
If you call me Regala Electra, then you know me from Ducks Babble board, yahoo groups, fandom fic writing (AtS, BtVS, FS, O.C.[kinda], and PotC[barely]), livejournal etc.
If you call me Reg, you're probably a close online friend who made the very wise choice of shortening my name to make it easier on yourself. And I encourage people to do so.
If you call me Regala, you don't know me as well, and please, feel free to call me Reg.
If you call me Nic, you are
jennem and you're a tortilla. But no longer a clown.
If you call me Regameg, then you're
dawnydiesel and you rock and kick ass and I admire and fear you.
If you call me Nicky/Niki, then I have no idea who the hell you are and will hurt you.
If you call me Nicole, you are a RL friend or a family member.
If you call me by embarassing childhood nickname (which I don't know how to properly spell to do it justice), then you're my mom and you're probably saying it mockingly now.
If you call me Bitch/Bitchface, then you're my mom or dad and you're pissed at me.
If you call me by my last name, then you're probably a high school classmate. And I hate you.
Unless you are Guy I Totally Crushed On, because you call me by my last name pronounced correctly, even though you over-roll the R, and that's actually kind of cute, but I haven't seen you in forever, so no one calls me that anymore.
So yeah, my names are kinda boring. That's why I tend to give others nicknames, my little sis bears the worst of it, she has at least three regular nicknames: Cuppy, Johnny, and Bumblebee, and I'll throw random ones out there and she'll respond.
Cuppy's turning nine tomorrow.
I have mailed my check for WriterCon. Sloooowly inching closer and closer.
There's a half-finished ficlet of B/A tasty smut and Buffy's down to her shivvies and Angel's still not touching her. A dumbass he is.
I also want to get cracking on that Faith/Wes.
Must fight pounding headache.
