Nicknames

My name is Karissa, but over the years nicknames were assigned. I am assuming that a lot of people are assigned nicknames... at least the people in my small universe growing up. The names of my Blog are all past and current Nicknames of me (I am a tad self centered). Two of my favorites were gonna be the URL but I changed it with the help and creativity of a friend. They are Kar.. because my name starts with it and.... who knows why else. Bugger (which is still part of the URL) cause my dad gave it to me when I was a little girl and still answers the phone "Bugger, you potlicker, how ya doin?". Everyone should really meet my dad. My dad has also never told me exactly his definition of a potlicker and I have never really asked. In our family a "potlicker" is a word of endearment.... along with my older sister's nickname free-loader. Big Red for those of you who know me fits well as I have red hair. I am not sure why the Big was put in front of it but a male human did assign it... Peaches because at one point in my life I thought I was gangsta/stripper and cause that is what someone decided to call me once and it stuck. Now there are the usual ones that fit well like Kris and KK as my middle name is Kay, but I have been given ones that are not great. I have had a few mostly as a result of the color of my hair. I will let imaginations go at this point as I refuse to restate those nicknames which I detest. Some nicknames never go away. For the most part people all call me Karissa or Kay but I have some friends that will be Steve -O or Chunk the rest of their lives.

Oh, by the way, THANKS for reading my very first blog post... is that what it's called??
