Poor Sparrow.

Dare-in-with. Derynwydd.

I am so bad about that

Oh, I wanted her to have a good reason to prefer her nickname

Derynwydd IS pretty though

Coradel persists in using the full name.

She does.

Yup

It does sound pretty!

Which fits in some ways. I've seen people who have a short name, and their mom is often either the one who invented the shorter version first , or is the only one who uses the full first name and the offspring will endure it from her 🙂

(At least I think it does)

My mother still and always will call me by my childhood nickname

Jo to everyone else, Mom calls her Josephine and is the only one who does example

which derives from my MIDDLE name

I go by my first, have since 2004

nope, it's "Nikki." Thanks, Mom.

Always gone by my middle name. Drives me crazy whenever I have to tell people that, yes, Jane is my legal name, but please call me Robin, no it's not a nickname, it's my name, always has been my name, etc etc etc....

AHAH.. that's what the J stands for!

I actually really like Katherine

I was VERY stubborn about not using it as a kid, though

Tastes change.

Katherine seems much more "grown up" than Nikki

Well, there are few Nikki's the Great

And I was in grad school, teaching undergrads....

Did a lot to try to establish myself as more adult. Heh. now that I am actually old enough to be their mom, I don't much care.

Though I still won't wear t-shirts to work, save either show shirts or comfy things during particularly long tech weeks

T shirts I got plenty, but as I've gotten older I've embraced the Hawaiian shirt, which I think is the middle aged man's way of declaring to the world "I am done trying to attract a mate and will wear what makes me happy"

Yeah, that's what the J stands for. Sorry, multitasking.

hee

I'd offer to continue for ER with the two visiting sidhe but as Rahne is m tasking it might be seen as cruel

Oh! Actually, no, that works. I should get back to grading work by 1:45 or 2:00, but until then? Sure!

I also think I know where Zara should go if only briefly

/roll 2

so

two towers is on

...I need a bliaut.

For work or play?

for play

or rather, sca

who doesn't want an eowyn moment?

/roll 1

I ADORE Eowyn... in book and movie

honestly, the lady elves were lovely but I think I'd crush on Eowyn hard... even if she ended up poisoning me. "Why should Merry not fight for those he loves?"

Just don't eat her stew

heh

Hi, Shady
