Sure this sounds good as an exercise in trying to find worth in my identity. Let’s try it; let’s shake it up by letting people pick which number’s answered if you choose.
1) nicknames have varied. For a while in college I was trying for a favorite animal’s generic name, and I still really like being referred to as any animal I associate with. My favorite nickname ever tho is when very little I couldn’t easily pronounce my name, and my Gramma and Grampa used my version until they died. I DJ if I’d be cool with anyone else using it.
@Leucrotta I don't know if I didn't know that or forgot it, but the mispronunciation thing is kinda wonderful! That's actually how my character Millimax comes by her name; when very young, she had trouble learning and pronouncing the clan name (/mækʃɪnɪɬjɑnᵊ/, acceptably "Anglicized" as Maximillian). She later picked it up as her art-name, and now she goes pretty much exclusively by that.
So now I ask: 23? And does it carry any particular associations, anecdotes, or the like?
@ElectricKeet 23) my favorite color is green. Darker, more desaturated. Forests, the Bay Area’s hills in late winter/early spring.
@Leucrotta Oh, and in case you're curious but not conversant in IPA – not judgin', I'm not either – you can plug that into http://ipa-reader.xyz/ and set the voice to the very last one (Gwyneth) to hear it. I love that site.
