Bizarre Names

I realized last night that I tend to play word association games with people’s names and then create random, secret nicknames for them. The most recent example of this is my friend, Laura Pasha. Immediately upon meeting Laura I associated her name with a movie that I haven’t seen in eight years: Dr. Zhivago. Somehow, in the darkest depths of my tangled memory, I managed recall that the protagonists love interest, Lara, was originally married to a revolutionary who’s nickname was Pasha. Because of this bizarre association, I have secretly nicknamed her Dr. Z.

Though the nickname association is odd enough, the really strange thing is that I actually use these nicknames to reference people instead of their real names. For example, I am going to have pizza with Laura tonight; however, if I was to load this into my palm pilot I would put “pizza with Dr. Z”. I know this isn’t a harmful habit, but lately I have really had to watch myself...I called my boss up one day and asked for “mother goose” (his real name is Sam Miller, and his name association is too complicated to explain…it derives from a poem called “The Miller’s Wife”).

Well, I think that is enough of a rant for today. If anyone can make any sense out of what I just wrote, seek help…
