I HATE being called Jenny!!! I know how you feel when complete strangers call you a shortened name! That is one of my pet peeves, too! Now the salesmen that call our house call me "Jen". I don't mind being called Jenn if I know someone, but not by a stranger. (I think of little blonde school girls when I think of someone named Jenny or around here they pronounce it "Ginny"). Blech!

Hey Aim! Hee! Sorry. I had to say it. Being the recipient of someone who wasn't called her first name until her second marriage (people called me by my mispronounced last name for most of my life, whether or not I wanted them to) I just had to poke at you. Thanks for meeting with me today. It was fun! K. Lo. Award Winner

Reminds me of the Seinfeld where Elaine's co-worker thinks her name is Suzy, and then calls her "SUZE".... :-) What kills me is when people call me by my proper name - I don't let too many people get away w/ that!...

Gotta give my 2-cents here on the nickname thing too. I've had people presume (and/or assume) that my nickname would be Betty or Beth and went ahead and called me that. Then seemed so struck by my protest that they were incorrect. My nickname now even was "given" againest protest and finally I "caved" in as it seemed impossible at the time to change it. The name my parents gave me was always what I was called by family etc. until junior high school when a teacher made the change and I either was too meek to protest or whatever, then other's began to take it up and it stuck forevermore. Guess it could be a worse but names are so personal.

Another sunflower here - I am so jealous you got to meet Kitchen Logic in person. I meet Summer Gale and Cosmicrayola among other Dlanders at JournalCon recently and it was so much fun.

Have to get my 2 cents in also: I HATE Barbie. LOL Talked to Donnie Friday Eve and Dennis and Danny are Okay but Pensacola as we know it is no longer there. They are staying at Danny's girlfriends home until school resumes, they have no idea when that will be.

eep is really Elizabeth, and she is NOTHING but Elizabeth. I am not fond of nicknames like Liz or Beth particularly, but I've asked her about Betsy, Libby, and others only to be told "Elizabeth". I named her, I guess I did it. When I meet you for coffee I am totally going to call you "AIMERS" just to see the look on your face though. Fair warning.
