P-aaaaaa-leezzz

I recently had my seventeenth birthday. When I can look back ten years into the past, and remember it, that is a sure sign that I’m getting old. In fact I remember very clearly when I was seven and we moved into an apartment and I was so happy about living in a house with stairs in it. Yeah, it doesn’t take much to entertain little kids.

One of the things I’ve learned in my seventeen years of living is that people love nicknames. The human race has an obsession with not calling each other by our real names. We shorten them, lengthen them, reconstruct them, or just plain change them to our liking. For example, my name is Selena. Some of the nicknames I’ve acquired over the years are Dunkers (never EVER call me this), Sally, Selenie, So-so, and my favorite, Sel. Sometimes, I would just like to be called by my actual name once in a while. I really like my name alright?

Another thing: I’m seventeen now, don’t you think that I’ve earned my way out of being called kid? I mean p-aaaaa-leezzz It’s getting old to have people say, “Hey, kid,” or “Kiddo”. Kiddo is such an odd word. See say it, kiddo kiddo kiddo kiddo. It’s just weird.

I don’t like being called kid; however I love when people call me girl. It just makes me smile when someone says, “Hey, girl!”, and if they too are female, I like to be all like, “Hey, girl! What’s happening?” Or when Jess (there I go with the nicknames), the sound guy at our church, gives me a hug on Sunday morning and says “hey girl”, I really like it.

Back to the whole nickname thing, I’m just as guilty as everyone else at giving them. I like to give people nicknames that end in and “eeee” sound, like Joshy or Davey or Gengy or macaroni. I don’t do it all the time, but if I really like someone I might refer to them by one of these “eeee” names, depending on the kind of relationship we have.

If you want me to give you a special nickname, comment your name underneath this blog, and I’ll post my own Selenie name for you, for the low price of only twelve payments of the low price of $10.99 only!!!!!!!!!!

To end this blog, here's a cool video, cause putting cool videos on my blog makes me look cool, and I don't plug many bands other than Skillet, but I should. So here you are . . .
