The Beau Needs A Blog Name - Part III
As a blogger always considering her work, I have entertained enough nicknames for my sweetheart to write a screenplay.
James Dean
Sweetness Express
Clark Kent
James Bond
The problem is, absolutely none of them inspire me. Each identity is fitting (except for Archie Andrews), but I have no desire to implement any of them. Similar to the scene in Mean Girls when Gretchen is pathetically and desperately attempting to promote the word 'Fetch' as part of her high school's vernacular, the only nickname that will do my sweetheart justice is the one that I exhale without hesitation - naturally. For now, that special term of blogging endearment continues to elude me...and perhaps there is a solid, predetermined reason for that (although certainly not the reason many of my blog friends have surmised).

Haha. Love it. When it's right, it's right, right?

I used all kinds of euphemisms before BP emerged as the obvious nickname. "The Man I Like" did okay until then.

It has to come to you naturally. Just like my friend "Otter". His middle name is Emmett, so I began to refer to him as "Emmett Otter", of Emmett Otter's Jugband Christmas fame from HBO. And the name Otter stuck and he is still the Otter today.

I told my sweetheart the other day that I'm going to write a book titled "when you know, you just know."

What Phil said. A good nickname is never early or late. It arrives exactly when it is supposed to.

How about George Michael circa "I Want Your Sex"?

Scar Tissue.
I always wanted a friend named that. I'll have to live vicariously through you, if you pick my suggestion.
