The Color of Heather

Doesn’t it annoy you when there’s those kids with the same name… especially when you go “Hey Taylor!” and six people turn there head and go “which taylor”. In elementary we would go ‘Taylor B.’ or ‘Taylor C.’ that just gets annoying. Ergo, Nicknames. Recently I discovered (as I was trying to tell Clayton that I needed him to text Carolyn for me since my hands were full but she’s labeled under pikachu) there are some really weird nicknames that seem to have no origin out there.

By far some of the weirder ones I’ve heard are the ones I don’t realize are nicknames until someone tells me. For instance Mistyn is a nickname of whose origin I have no clue or what his actual name is. I was introduced to Totoro as Totoro and didn’t realize that his real name was Jake until he finally went “Why the heck do people call me that??? My name’s Jake! JAKE!” a month after I met him. Then there’s Quail, whose name I didn’t know until I read his name plate on his door… I think its Carson.

Then there’s the totally ridiculous names that just stick. Like Furby (Danny)! Or Pikachu(Carolyn). Or Dragon(Deanne)… Puff the magic Dragon(Dragos from Romania)… Anakin(Jakob)…Furrie(Stephanie)…Miss Ng(Stephanie Ng)…Simon(Patrick). Then theres the ones that make since. Mills(Miller) or TJ (Thomas Jones) Etc.

College isn’t all its cracked up to be; especially on the weekends. You sit there, either staring at the wall or playing video games, being bored out of your mind. For the past… one, two… six and a half hours I have been either playing league of legends or watching Clayton sit there and be bored. Luckily, The Cab (a band I’m actually a little familiar with and they’re not to shabby if I must say) is having a free concert that we’re going to tomorrow night. Sadly… Ashley, Braunson, Marcus and a couple others (including the MIA Kevin…) are gone for the weekend (Kevin might be at a concert or just, gone). Now here’s the depressing thing… back in Denver (no more than 30 minutes away by lightrail) NDK is happening. An anime convention that a whole section of our friends are going to is happening this week. Both me and Clayton wanted to go so bad but not only do we not have money for his gas, he would need a hotel room. I could’ve either stayed at home or in Carolyn’s room (she reserved said room for me, Monina and Deanne last year). Sadly, we didn’t go so we’re stuck here staring lustfully at NDK facebook posts TT__TT Curse you broke college life.
