A history of names. . .

So I'm flipping through facebook as a procrastination tool, because time differences suck, and I see one guy's pic and I go "It's Double D!" and then I continue to flip and my head goes "Maybe T-squared is on here too?" So post a weird nickname that you had in high school, just 'cause I think they're funny.

Some of mine:
Tink or Tinkerbell
Goddess
Godmother (of the Soprano Mafia)
Melys (the word for 'sweet' in Welsh)
Jacqueline, Eva, and Dolores, from foreign language classes

Then I stopped being girly and was just Jess.
And then, the weekend I met Sonya and Izzy, I was Jica, and I have been ever since.
Sometimes I think I will be Ji, but it only sounds good in French.

Things you learn--

I guy I went to high school with died last month, and I didn't even know til today, when I saw a reference in a friend's AIM profile. Not like we were terribly close, but still. I didn't know he had gone into the Army, and he got killed somewhere overseas. The world is a sad place when you can lose someone so quickly and not even know. And what makes it worse is that he was there in the room with me on Sept. 11th and also on the day we heard a friend had committed suicide. I remember him when I think of those deaths, and now he is gone.

Goodbye, Jeremy.
