Nicknamed and Nicknaming

Nicknames, everyone has one, or at least most people do. I have had many nicknames over the course of my life. Sixth grade I was known as the book worm, I would not be surprised if I was actually elected as the school bookworm that year, because all I ever did that year was read. Then, Jr. High came. And it was like WHAM, tons of new people, most whom I had never seen before in my life.

In my good group of friends I became known as Owl, because they said I was very wise...and very curious. There was also the nickname of Thing 4, the Lost Thing. This latest nickname, came in a group of friends, whom were all nicknamed along with me--we nicknamed ourselves. And here are those who were in our little Thing group: Kiersten, she was Thing One; Kirsten, she was Thing Two; Kirsten, she was Thing Four and a different Kirsten from Thing Two; Kacie *cough* me *cough*, Thing Four the Lost Thing; Krysta, Thing Five, No Thing; and some other girl who's name I forgot but she was Thing 394. Yes, that was our magical Thing group. We still call each other by those nicknames sometimes, not always, but sometimes.

As time went on, I did not receive many nicknames after that (apart from being the 'Good Sister' in my Honorary Family of Jr High). My latest, and one of my favorite nicknames, was given to me today, yes today, by my friend Jacob, also known as the Alpha Ginger Cheese Horse (story for another time), and so I am now Kacie...the Hug-Aholic! Isn't it just splendid? I do looove hugs.

Throughout the years, I have been given nicknames, yes, but I have also give a great deal of nicknames in my time as well. One of my favorites is the nickname Sherlock, which I gave to my friend because when I first met him he was dressed quite similarly to BBC Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock Holmes. Another nickname is Cuddle Boy, because when I first met him, we were at efy (summer camp in a way) and as everyone was trying to get to know each other, the boys were asked the question 'if you could cuddle with an animal, what would it be?' and this friend of mine responded 'a girl' and therefore became Cuddle Boy. There has also been Abraham Lincoln, Chilli Pepper, Coconut Head, Lil' Lady (recent of last Saturday), Liliana Rravo MCLXVIII my pup, Panaderia, Sparkles, O'Nii San, and many, many others.

What are some nicknames you have been given? What are nicknames you have given to close friends and such? Let me know in the comments, I love reading what you have to say! Have a British day -Kac

Spring Break! Is Over?!

Something sad just happened yesterday, spring break ended! But there is an upside to it, it means that there is just over a month left of school and then it is time for summer!! Last week was a blast, though I'm mostly talking about what happened Friday and Saturday. The first part of the week, leading up to Friday, was pretty boring as the only thing I really did was go to the mall once with some friends (shopping NOT allowed, I DESPISE shopping) and we did some fun stuff together there. Friday, I went down to Mesquite with my family and my BFFTLEWE Sam (check out Radio Rebel to understand) and it was a blast! We went swimming in the huge pool at the hotel on Friday and saw the movie Home, which is pretty funny. There was a LOT of picture taking. Saturday, we swam some more and then we went to St. George and went shopping (Sam and I spent most of our time in the Cowboys and Indians store). There was a LOT of picture taking that day as well, especially at the pool and in the ca...

Creating Love Triangles

We've all read those books where there is a love triangle going on between three characters, main or side, and you just don't know who you want to get together in the end. I find those the best kind of love triangles, because if there is always one where you are automatically and always on this one side then it just doesn't feel like a proper love triangle cause you know exactly who you want to end up together and who is going to end up together. Boring, right? Now, it's time to create love triangles all on your own and make it so that your readers cannot decide who they want to end up together, it makes them more invested in the story this way. First, you need your main character of the triangle. Usually it's a girl with two boys, but you can switch it up a bit and make a boy with two girls. Let's make a love triangle where it's a boy with two girls, just turn away from the social normal and be ourselves now. Alright, let's make our main character s...
