Smooches.
In addition to the Terms of Service from yester eve, I’m wondering if I should put a style guide up on how my name can be used. Or is that just *too* pedantic. Urm, yeah. By the way, do you think I missed anything that I should have slapped upon in the TOS? If so, drop a line. Thanks.
But in terms of preferences,
I go by Min Jung. Two words. Big M, Big J. No hyphen and not clunked together. I don’t go by Min. I don’t go by Minnie. To most folks these days, I also go by MJ.
I will answer to my father’s thick Korean accent calling to me in my Baptismal name of Julia as such “JHOOODIYA!”.
Yeah. When I’m at home in Michigan, lounging on the couch or reading in my room, my dad calls me in BOLD CAPS. It’s kind of hard not to come a-running when someone calls you in BOLD CAPS. I think Korean dads always call their children in BOLD CAPS. It’s like a jedi mind trick or something. For reals. Stoic little Korean fatherly types are amazingly talented that way. Plus they have an inordinate fondness for Karaoke. Truly frightening sometimes.
My brother is the only person allowed to call me Jules.
Cyn may refer to me has mjh whenever and however frequently she likes and she knows she’s got my affections and respect always and need not talk about apologies. But if you really insist. *SPANK*.
(Weeee!)
Davezilla had a post recently re: nicknames and I was compelled to confess the following.
Milkweed: Since I was a scrawny little kid growing up.
Snowflake: Because I am the palest complected Asian American among my friends and downright pigment repellent these days. I can’t hold a tan to save my life. I’m whiter than many a white person.
Julia: My catholic baptismal name.
Jhoodiya: What my Dad calls me. Thick Korean accent. Enough said. More “O”s depending on how emphatic he is.
Schecki: Because I can’t tell a joke to save my life but when I tell real life stories like about the time my mom picked up a homecoming date for me while getting a perm done and rollers in her hair get chuckles. Oh yeah, and that whole flipping groomsmen while drunk at a wedding in Hawaii thing too.
HW: refers to me as her Chupa Chup which I rather like.
Those II stix folks frequently tease me and refer to me as “Lips”
Ain’t no thing bigger than a chicken wing, really.
In other news. I think I’ve finally knocked out the bronchitis in me. Wee.
Now I gotta get my shit together and finish polishing up some drafts (erm… finishing up dem drafts too) for some upcoming contests. Wish me luck.
Much love to those that find it out there,
