The Very First

So this is my first post to my first blog, so I can't guarantee that you're gonna enjoy it. But I thought I would start out by explaining the title of the blog. So if you've ever met me more than once, you've probably heard me ask some form of the statement at the top of the page. I am notoriously bad at remembering names. Cant explain why, must have something to do with my mother and my childhood I'm sure, but who knows. I mean, my freshman year of college it took me a week to figure out what my roommate's name was. They had made these rather lovely signs out of construction paper- an item I hadn't seen since those wonderful elementary school projects- that had our names on them and the little Olympic logo(each floor was supposed to have a theme. You woulda thought a gay guy coulda come up with something better than that). Well of course my new roommate took his off. BIG mistake. Cause I had nothing to call him. Now the fact that he was an exchange student from Ecuador might have had something to do with it, but I doubt I woulda remember even if his name was John.

Now, in an effort to be able to refer to people even when I cant remember their names, I have long had the habit of assigning people nicknames. These can be based on their appearance or something they do or on rare occasions even based upon the white hot lust I feel for them (Daddy is taken by one cute law professor so dont bother asking for that one). So you can imagine, with me coming to Iowa Law and knowing absolutely no one, that the nicknames just started to flow. Now no one in my small section was graced with one because I tried my hardest to learn their names. But oh so many others who I didnt meet but had reason to discuss instantly got their own handles. So I have compiled a list of all those I have devised so far. Now a couple are not my creations, but I use them, so I have noted it next to them so that someone else can have credit for them. Also, a couple people have developed more than one for some reason or another. You will notice, however, there the real names aren't next to them. That's so you can play a game and see if you know who they are, and cause it's not my goal in life to have a mob of angry law students hunt me down. But anyways, if you are offended Im sorry, come introduce yourself to me and talk to me more often and your nickname might go away. Well maybe.

So here they are...the fabulous Iowa Law nicknames:

OMD - I'll give ya a hint. I wanna strip his clothes off and have hot sweaty monkey sex with him. grr
The Frog (I love it, but alas not mine)
Madonna
Richard Gere/Surfer
Gay Sunglasses/Seriel Killer (I can only take credit for the first one)
Blonde Bitch - dont get me started
Daddy
American Pie dad (of no relation to Daddy)
Evil Old Woman
Deaf English teacher
The Knome Prostitute (this is my official unveiling of this one. try to guess who)
High Maintenance Girl ( also not mine)

So thats all that has been created for now. But the list is always subject to expansion, especially now that I have a class with the summer starters. Now most of these are women, but thats because I always remember a hot guy's name. Sorry ladies. Anyhow, thats enough for now. Next up I will have to compile my list of hot guys. Happy Birthday Barrett
