T., Hgh, and Branflakes are getting pretty ticked off at me for not writing and LifeofTurner is probably ready to make JCQ DLQ. Due to my lack of presence, I will answer two e-mails this week for your viewing pleasure! Umm... wait... I'll make two posts today I mean.
I am getting really annoyed that no one can pronounce my name properly unless they know me well. I hate Jackie, but I was willing to go with it just so people would stop asking me to repeat myself and comment on how my name is so odd and ask it's origin and how I got it. But then I thought: why should I just go with Jackie? Why don't I go with something both hideous and extravagant?
So now, when people ask me: "What? Can you say your name again?" I will simply reply: "You can just call me Nelly." In my love-hate relationship with The Little House on the Prairie, this is the name of one of my favourite characters. However, that's not why I chose it; I'd just bought a plant for my dad by the name Nelly Moser. He is obsessed with this variety of Clematis Vine but it doesn't grow too well in Saskatchewan. So, anyway, try not to laugh if I introduce myself as Nelly Moser at our next party.

I think that if people got to know you at all, they would know that you're not a "Jackie." Or a "Jacklyn." It greatly amuses me to think of you answering to "Jackie," though. And welcome back.
Derek out.
