Today I want to talk about nicknames.
Come on now, we all have them. We had them growing up, pet names, code names that only our best friends knew about in that secret language you shared.
As I put this out there, it's only fair I start with me, when with a little why thrown in:
1. Kuykendall-as in "Hey Kuykendall, fetch my bag of my own frozen feces so that I may fertilize my pot in the richest soil possible"' I was constantly referred to by last name in junior high and high school. I found it degrading and disrespectful. Call me by my first name or don't called me at all.
2. Bark- the president's secretary at a company I worked for insisted on calling me Bark. Memory lapse or speech impediment, I have no idea.
3. Marcus Welby, Dr. Welby, or the Doctor-came from a dear friend, after the television series, and seeing as my name is Mark, well, you know...but now when we e-mail back and forth, she calls me
4. Rev or The Rev- as I actually am an ordained minister (seriously). in this case, she just likes jacking with me.
My favorite is the Doctor, but seeing there is already a Doctor on SG, you can call me what you want except late for dinner.
Come on now, play along, join in the fun. I don't want to die alone.
Peace my children

Oh, haha, you don't have to. I know a few more people that have said they want to donate. I just need to get the link to them. Thank you for what you have donated! It really means a lot to me. The person I know with it was 10 when I met him and even though he is in pain a lot of the time, he never complains. So when I participate in the event, no matter how tough it is, he is my inspiration to keep going.
