Day 2

Any nicknames I might have and the reasons behind them.....

Lou

I guess this nickname came out of necessity, my given name is quite long and difficult for children to say. It was just easier to shorten a part of it. Also my best friends happen to have similar nicknames. We eventually became the 3 weirdo's: Lou, Lou, and Boo.

Emily

This quite honestly is my favorite nickname....A friend mentioned one day, that I will die and when people go through my room, they will find tons of poetry that was never published and I'll become the 21st century version of Emily Dickinson, an Emily 2.0 if you will.

The crazy octopus lady

I'm not sure how I got this one, I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the fact that I love octopi and think they're ridiculously cute...

Yoda

My friends constantly have to endure me quoting extensively the Star Wars Movies. I love them, I grew up on them, and should I ever have children, I will make them watch the movies as well. I often quote Yoda the most, ergo the nickname...

Ducky

I'll admit, this one is a little embarrassing. My dad started calling me Ducky after he realized I say "Yup yup yup" just like Ducky from Land Before Time. . . . Okay, in my defense, I was little and just liked the way it sounded....
