Day 4: Your Nicknames
Oh wow. Should I go chronologically or in order of importance? That is, assuming I can even remember all the ones worth mentioning.
I've gone by many pseudonyms. Some stick longer than others, and more often than not are not chosen by myself. Let's see...
Early on I invented a future persona for myself, one that worked as a mild-mannered janitor by day and became a badass ninja/secret agent by night. This persona was named "Agent Honeytoast" by a friend of mine.
I've participated in one game of spin-the-bottle in my life. After said game I happened to earn the title of "pillow lips".
After replacing my father at his work, my bosses referred to me by my last name, "Deroy", because this is what they always called him. Since then most of my friends also began calling me Deroy, though the reason why remains a mystery.
When the name Deroy stuck at work, a friend of my Dad's who also happened to play World of Warcraft took to calling me "Deeeroooooy Jenkins", after the famous player Leeroy Jenkins. Over time this name has simply been shortened to "Jenkins".
As long as I'm counting work-related names, a friend by the name of Larry Cooper started addressing me as "Del-Tron". I liked that one while it lasted.
My boyfriend insists on calling me "Sara". Sure, it sounds right when you say it out loud, but the spelling is just absurd.
As of late, my main alias has been "Paula Schultz". It is my name used on Facebook to keep spying family members from accessing it. If you want to know "why Paula Schultz?", just watch Kill Bill. It's one of my favorite movies.
That's pretty much all there is to it. I know I've had several other names, these are just the ones that come to my mind right now.
Goodnight all.
