So, does this mean I can call you "Foxy-ya" in your streams? Also, saxophone stream when?
(Fun little stories, thanks for sharing.)

If you want to.

Also, saxophone stream probably never. I haven’t played it in 15 years and don’t even have one anymore. Piano stream is actually more likely. I’m better at the instrument and played it for much longer. Though I am still out of practice and don’t have one in my tiny apartment. Maybe if I move somewhere larger I can actually get ahold of it. I actually technically own my own grand piano, but it’s just at my parents’ house since I don’t have room for it.

And thanks for the fav.

Foxy-ya is a pretty great nickname. Enjoyed hearing your reminiscing.

My high school nickname was "Turtle" because my one friend said I "looked like a turtle" without my glasses on. Nobody understood what that meant but him, but the the name stuck.

I actually think the absurdity of certain things makes them stick more. Not a nickname, but I did once have a history teacher who was originally from Greece so English was not her first language. At the time we were learning about the War of the Roses and her tip to help us remember which color of rose belonged to which house was that York rhymes with white so that's how you can remember that the House of York was the white rose. Of course, York does in no way actually rhyme with white and the entire class was so confused we tried to argue the point. She never conceded, but I still remember that particular history fact because it made no sense.

You definitely need to send her a message, this story is fate giving you a nudge. Actually just send her a link to your FA page.*

I'm fairly sure I've never had a nickname, at least not one anyone ever told me about.

*don't actually do this ;)

Oh, if I do reach out I won't be showing that. The reaction when it was even suggested I might be drawing furry art in my high school friend group was such that I became loath to share any of it with them.

And hopefully you don't have any behind the back nicknames. Those are always the worst.

I can understand that, I still don't admit the anthro thing to anyone in real life, and well so far I've never heard any!

Aww

I had a group of friends who would call me Fox or Foxy in highschool. Same friends would also call me Foil (in the literary sense, nobody else got it, at some point two of my friends decided what each of our roles in our collective story we had).

When I finally made friends in college (late junior year) led to "Sassypants" and then "Fox" started to pop back up.

Sassypants is definitely a unique one. That is quite the thing to earn.

Haha, yeahhh...... I didn't mind it, but I did prefer "Fox".

I agree. Fox is a far better name.

I agree with Alex - send her a message.

I liked this. I was in a whole line of Thomas so I was always called TH.

I didn't want this to get too long, but I've seen a lot of nicknames due to necessity. Especially when I still worked in an office we had too many Thomases, Davids, and Jeffs and so they all ended up with nicknames solely for the purposes of communication.

Oh yes... and the military is famous for them as well... I was called 'gunner' for some time when I became a gunner's mate...
