Laura! Laura Laura Laura Laura!

 

I'm alive! =D

 

To answer your inquiry, my day was stressful and busy. I've been working on this research project for quite a while, and finally got my statistics to work and could finish my paper today.

Lol, I had a good day on FRiday. I got 3 dollars at breakfast during school to go around to each table and yell "I'M A NERD!". First time was free though.

 

Bad part of it though was that just when I was starting to like the nickname "Squirrel boy" it got changed to "Nerd kid"

I'm exhausted today. I didn't get to sleep last night until about 2am, because we found out my mother-in-law was in the hospital, and she's in Florida. Then I woke up at 5am this morning. And now I have a 12 hour work day.

 

But hopefully, it'll get better.

Lol, you got one messed up school. In mine, people refer to people by swears. I wasn't named one thankfully.

The only time we really called anyone anything other than their name in school, was Middle School. And everyone in my group of friends then, got a nickname that had some sort of meaning. (By 8th grade, I think there was around 12 of us) I've had so many nicknames over the years. In HS, the only kid we gave a nickname for something he did, was a kid we knew from band in middle school. We saw him working at the Taco Bell in the mall. So he became Taco Tim/ Taco Boy. :laughingsmiley:

Coming off school (coz it's a totaly boring subject..)

 

I got to sleep at 4am this morning watching the Winter Olympics, and woke up at 7 o_O only 3 hours of sleep... oh and to answer your quetion Tyler;

 

It was tiring as I played 4 hours of football without stopping... I played with my friends and my team won 207-94 lol

Today, I went to a swim meet... and dropped 2 seconds on my race!!!!!!

This is a big deal since I haven't been able to break my time all this year.

 

The only nickname I've really received was something short for my name. like Jules or JuJu (don't ask I have no idea where it came from!)

No one could ever shorted my name, considering it's already 4 letters. Anything trying to shorten it, wouldn't sound right. My nickname in middle school was Zilla, all because I made the mistake of mimicking my dad, when he said city name as he ate pieces of an ice cream cone, in front of my best friend. :laughingsmiley:

Gratz, swim! ^^

 

And mines 4 letters too. Athough there was a short lived thing where my 6th grade teacher called me Ry.

 

 

Posted

Yeah, mine's five, but it's still hard to shorten 'Laura' without sounding like an idiot.

 

I have you beat. lol My name is Lara. :laughingsmiley: My mother-in-law calls me Lar though. <_<

Posted

I would say 'La' for Laura or Lara.. or Larissa or something like that.

 

As for my day.. it's vacation-time, so I woke up at 11:30 am (which felt sooo good), did some homework and played on my xbox 360. Tomorrow I'm gonna go see 'Valentines Day' (the movie) and eat Sushi with my friends, yay!

 

And, again, CAV: I know how you feel, trust me. When I was about your age my whole school hated me for no other reason than that I was different from them (I used to be a goth). So my high school period SUCKED. I was called ugly, gay, stupid, dumb.. whatever. But now I'm in college (sort of, it's different in my country, but it's comparable) and everything is fine. I have friends, I have a boyfriend (2,5 years and counting!) and things are better.

 

You're 13, you're waaay too young to start thinking about sex and stuff like that. Like everyone said, focus on your school work. It may not seem important to you now, but it will be in a few more years.

I'd prefer 'La' to 'Lar' It just doesn't sound right to me. But people have always been fairly good about calling me by my regular name. (Now pronouncing it properly, that's a whole different story. :laughingsmiley: )

The thing that annoys me about my name is that it's a really popular one so everyone has it. After awhile it gets pretty annoying to hear "Julia" and say "yes" just to be told "not you!" I think thats why I've often been labeled as Jules.

Posted

Well, my name is pretty uncommon and still people call me "Lisa, Marissa, Nessa, Vanessa". I've even been called Nessy. Now how does that sound like 'Nyssa'?

Posted

I've always preferred unique names. Like my mom, she was a Debbie in the 50s. My dad, he shares a first and last name with a former CO senator, there's at least 5 men in our city with his first and last. So when they named my sister and I, they went more creative.

Hi Irene! I'm Nyssa and you'll find me complaining and ranting a lot :laughingsmiley:

 

Now, time for my coffee...
