Nicknames

I have an attrocious memory. In order to remember people's names, I have to create games. Many people receive a nickname. When I first joined bookclub, all those years ago, I met 6 girls at once. There was no way I would remember everyone. So, I made up internal nicknames. Mostly there were about hair color. Elizabeth was the redhead and Shandi had the streaks.

Now, as I seem to date an awful lot, the men have acquired nicknames. I know its awful, but it the only way I can keep them apart over time. Some are very simplistic. The Fireman was referred to as the Fireman because he was a Fireman. Some were kind of funny. Jumbo jet was referred to as that because he had more baggage then one (and I say that with love). There were also nicknames that were not entirely nicknames like Big Giant Red Flag and Loser. You can guess why they got those.

Funny enough, I actually talk to all those guys still, but I do use their proper names when talking to them. I don't think Loser would like to know his nickname.

I'm wondering what internal nicknames people have for me??
