How many names do you have? How many have been given to you? How many have you given yourself? How are you named: by country? by state? by city? by street? by school? by job? by class? by position? by your friends? by your enemies? by your music? by the books you read? by the games you play? by your hair? by your eyes? by your face? by your speech? by your words? by your gender? by who you have sex with? by religion? by belief? by politics? by what you think you are? by what others think of you? by what you were? by what you want to be? by what you are not?
How many do you readily answer to? How many could you easily do without?

I will answer to:
Chez - from anyone who knows me, in fact it's all my last boyfriend ever called me
Cheryl - from anyone at all, except my last boyfriend. He only called me this like twice in 3 years. Only in serious conversation.
Hey Gorgeous - from Ted :)
Chezza - STRICTLY form Luke alone, never from anyone else. It has an awful crude sound to it, but from Lukey it just flows.
A student - embodies the spirit I wish I could embody
Queen Geek - only I am allowed to call myself this
Trekkie - and what if I am! :)
Gelfling/Elven - from anyone. So long as they mean it in a nice way, I'm theirs
I will be irked at:
"...the lady" - what mothers call me when they're trying to teach their bratty children how order popcorn
The President of Spocksoc - I shouldn't be irked at this, but I think I don't like the officalness of the title. It sounds like I have to be responsible or something.
I will be amused at being called:
Leader of the sci-fi and weirdo people -
That could neer be meant as a personal insult :)
Sexy/Hot/Attractive/maybe even beautiful - hasn't sunk in yet
Darling Daughter - though mum never really calls me this anymore
I will not answer to:
Hey you - my name isn't you, it's ME!
blown cherry - she doesn't exist outside of here
Serrell (roll the rrs) - always accompanies by a 'suss se'. I've probably spelt that totally wrong, but int was always how my grandmother would say my name when whe was complaining about my behaviour to my mum, who would complain to dad, who would come in and ask me nicely to tone down whatever it was that was annoying my grandmother, or come in quieter so as not to wake her up whenever I did arrive home.
I probably would respond to:
Cherry - I guess blown does exist outside of here a little, she's just not very obvious about her existence.

99 - Peter W calls me this. I keep asking me why, but he can never give me a reason.
rowdy - James when he's trying to be incredibly unamusingly ironic
