Family nickname: MIIIIIIICHAAAAAAEL!
Seemed to be what I was called the most, because I was always behind a closed door with my head in a book.
I've take to calling my brother Walden "the Walmaster", though Wally, Waldo, Walldorf and a few others have been popular in the past.

My nicknames from other sources:
The Mike (at work, there are 10 other Mikes, so I put a The on my nametag, and it stuck)
Microphone (given to me by babelfish)
Jesus (from my days with long hair)
Big Cox (at highschool, my last name was popular)
Wor, Horseperson of the Apoklips
Micron (when Microphone doesn't fit)
Saint Michael

There have been a few more, like Rueben and Mix, but those were short lived.

I get called Angel, Lady, or Pestilence. I also get called Post. As in 'dumb as a post'.

I can expect my husband to use my real name maybe twice a year.

Bf calls me "Superyan: able to leap small obstacles in many bounds"

My daughter is celebrating Crazy Hair Day today, so her hair is pink and purple.  It washes out.  I hope.

Meanwhile I got a ton of stuff to do, as always.  Shadowplay rewrite, comic book projects, Dragons of Ordinary Farm rewrite, projected Nibelungen novella, and various other small things.  Not to mention replacing all the screen doors the dogs have torn off.

Fun, fun, fun.

I'll check in later.

We could contemporise it. Call it "Beth-Dog".

"Man, this stuff had better wash out. I spent fiddy bucks on dis fro, dog. Y'know what I'm sayin? Fool."

Or somesuch nonsense...

My BF calls me Tawanda cuz of my road rage personality. Eh, I'm overcoming it.

Honestly, I never enjoyed the modernized movie of Romeo and Juliet. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of unique and experimental ideas like that, but it's definitely a hit or miss kinda thing. It was a miss for me.

I enjoyed it, but realized that it was kind of silly.  My 10th grade English teacher also noted that it was a bad idea for any adaptation of R&J to have Romeo be prettier than Juliet.

As I've previously mentioned I'm no fan of Nancy DiCaprio but I really enjoyed Romeo and Juliet.  I did various Shakey plays at school but that wasn't one of them so maybe that helps.  I think it was a highly successful anachronism (I learnt that there word from Tad in his crit of my short story, and he has muchly improved my English with it, you see, I'm not just using here cause I'm a creepy crawly toady and obsequious sycophant, pure coincidence).

I LOVE Baz Luhrmann's work.  I loved R&J, and just about everything else.  I think he's one of the few truly modern artists working in mainstream cinema.

Deb and I had totally different responses to MOULIN ROUGE.  I thought it was completely about conventions of cinema and art and surfaces, and brilliantly done.  She hated it like a cat hates a dog -- put her back right up.  (On the other hand, she loved STRICTLY BALLROOM and R&J, so it's not an anti-Baz thing.)

Anyway, if I had time, I'd go on a long, self-important Baz-screed, but it will have to wait for another day.  I'm late!

See, I liked Moulin Rouge - and HATED R&J, although that's as much a knee-jerk reaction to Leonardo DiCrappio as anything...

Oh i loved both R&J and Moulin....
And...hehe...i especially loved the old english used in the modern setting in R&J...(even though i do not really like dicaprio, i thought he "made" the film)...and i loved the whole entourage from Moulin....would love to have some of those decors as my pics' background.
But then again...i love just about everything to do with mr Luhrmann's work....

You mean we get two threads to trash?

Alright!
