2 new names

for a long time, i've always wanted a nick name.
i'm not sure why, there's just kind of something about them that i've always liked...

anyways. the only nick name that i've ever really had, was kooks.
i love it.
and i can only be called that my my dad.

since moving to a small town, i've picked up a couple new nicknames:

1. Ky or Kyee.
I live with a 19 month old, who is in the process of learning to talk.
and like most kids his age, he's not very good at saying his l's, so instead of 'kylie', it somes out 'kyee'. or when he get's really excited, it's just 'ky'.
i love it when I walk up the stairs in the morning, and when the stairs creak, before he even sees me, i can hear 'ky, ky, ky, ky!'
best ever.
this nick name has caught on by some of my friends :)

2. bert.
I live and work with my roommate, and on wednesdays we attend institute during lunch.
while talking afterwards, i was explaining our living situations, and how my roommate and i share a room, and we just have 2 twin mattresses on the floor side-by-side, with a little gap in between.
it's a mess, but i love it.
a little while later, our teacher comes to us, and states that we remind him of bert and ernie.
basically one the best/coolest compliments i've ever received.....!!
the next week, a friend that we had met couldn't remember our real names, but could only think of us as bert and ernie.
because i'm taller, i get to be bert (even though ernie is my favorite)
i'm secretly hoping that it catches on ;)
