AKA
1. Do you have any nicknames, handles, or other names that you or others use to refer to you on a regular basis?
I have a handle of my own choice for Myspace, livejournal, and suicidegirls. My immediate family has a nickname for me. When I worked at a daycare I was given a nickname. I go by my middle name so I guess that might be considered a handle as well.
2. Did you adopt it/them, or did someone else or a group give it/them to you?
It is against man law to create a nickname for others to refer to you in the verbal form. Nicknames must be given and agreed upon by a social circle. As far as a handle that can be made up by/for yourself.
3. Is it okay for anyone to use it/them, or is it a mark of intimacy/familiarity for someone to be allowed to use it/them?
You better have known me for decades to refer to me by my nickname.
4. Do you tend to make up nicknames for your friends and/or partners?
No nickname creation; that is not a hobby of mine.
5. Do you use those nicknames you make up in day-to-day conversation, or only when referring to the person in the third person?
Depends on how that person feels about their moniker.
I have been marveling as of late how I have changed in the last 12-13 years. I used to be such an intense person. I remember when MJ and I started dating I would have the entire evening planned out. If things didn't go the way I had planned I got pissed. How dare the world not bend to my every desire! Keep in mind this is how I attacked my leisure time, my time off. Imagine what I was like with work and school. It was all about control and if I didn't have it then someone I trusted better step up. That is right folks not only did I hold myself to standards I held everyone else to a higher grade as well. I have been wondering if maybe I didn't actually get over this little flaw as much as replace it. About the time I came to terms with 'I am not the CEO of planet Earth' I started discovering a distain I had. From the fall of 1994 until spring of 2002 I worked full time and went to school. I had a profound distain for people that had never punched a clock. Sick really, I mean that was a majority of my classmates. Most had left high school to go on to college and any job in between or during was for pizza and/or beer money. To hear those members of the student body complain about the workload of a class brought my blood to boil. 'What, we cutting into your hack-n-sack schedule?' 'Sorry Mother, no dessert for me tonight, I have a school paper to write.' FOAD! I pulled a 50 hr week slinging pizza and everyday that I wake up I travel a minimum of 100 miles of a route to school, work, and back home. If I am not in the middle of homework, work - work, or travel then I must be sleeping. Some semesters I had days when I had to schedule eating. The question that came after much internal ranting was: "Do you think you are special?"
Snowflakes are special, they are unique and one of a kind, no two alike. Is that what these people think of themselves? Do they have a repeating instant recall of a moment in childhood when somebody pinched their little fat cheek and said 'You are special'? I make my living in customer service. Let me tell you and the whole world. YOU ARE NOT SPECIAL. NOW, GET BACK IN LINE. We are all passengers on this rock with a hard crust and melty lava center. There is no first class. So there it is. I used to be so tightly wound that I scheduled my 'free' time. Now I am a bit more relaxed but I have this big issue that is really counterproductive to my employ. Have I really changed or did I just switch pet peeves?
