Ok, ya'll can Drax me all you want. However, since I know it's just your patheti c attempts to anger me, don't expect a response.

DanaC · 07-17-2011, 06:09 AM

It's not an attempt to anger you Datlyss. It really isn't it. It's just a general contrariness :p

That and, speaking for myself, I always liked 'Draxxie' as a nickname for you.

But anyway. If you really, really hate it that much. Data it is.

Well, I'm not typing Datalyss every time. Make you choice: you're Data or you're Lyssy.

What dana said - Pick something with 5 letters or less and we'll call you that.

Thank god my hated nickname is too long for you lazy sods. I accept MTP just fine.

Here is a story for you Datalyss (see I even bothered with the redundant "s"):
As a little girl I had an AWFUL nickname my parents gave me. It was down right mean but they thought it was so fucking cute. Anyway, my older brother took to calling me by this nickname when I was in the awful awkward ages of pre-teen angst, and it pissed me off. For a week he did this to me, made me cry and threatened to tell the kids I went to school with. Then, an idea hit me: just accept the name and act like its no big deal. Treat it as if it didn't bother me. This had 2 results: I honestly stopped being bothered by it, and he stopped calling me by that name within a day. I don't think I've heard it since 'cept as a "do you remember when...." story.
This method also worked for the "George" nickname he decided to give me out of the blue one time also.

So the moral of the story, if something (like a nickname) bothers the fuck out of you, don't let others know it and they probably won't be as amused by using it. That's not to say you can't go "I prefer _____ over ______" but overreacting to something as ridiculous as a non-derogatory nickname is not the way to avoid getting called by it.

For the overly curious: my stupid childhood nickname was 'Middy Poo Pot.'

ZenGum · 07-17-2011, 11:06 PM

That's not a nickname, that's child abuse.

A friend of mine's dad called her "Bubble Butt," frequently and in front of friends, all the way through high school and beyond.

We have Heebie Jeebie...... who is absolutely determined to never be embarrassed at anything I do or say.... that's my kind of challenge....

Lola Bunny · 07-18-2011, 11:49 AM

Hello Datalyss! Sorry, I don't remember you too well, so I won't have any fond nicknames.

I will call you Datalyss.

Stick around!

MTP: Ehem...what was your childhood nickname?
