The Call Me Thingamaboppy

[podling]

I've seen all kinds of people doing this, so I figured, why not?

If you call me Andrea, then you're in the majority, and I'm probably most in tune with that.

If you call me Andria, you're my grandmother.

If you call me Andy, then you're one of the following... my dad, people from the theatre, or someone who worked with me at Rutgers.

If you call me Baby!!!, you're my mom.

If you call me Babe, then you're tanaise.

If you call me A.P., then you're my boss when he's in a funny mood.

If you call me Andrea (pronounced like the one from 90210), then you like to annoy me (Stephaniel) or you're Joel, who thinks it makes me sound sexier.

If you call me Polselli, you're probably still my boss in a funny mood.

If you call me Mrs. Polselli, you're a telemarketer, and right after I tell you my mom doesn't live here, I hang up on you.

If you call me Coypu, then you're teapot_farm.

If you call me Sapphire or Sapph, you've known me since college, when I was an internet newbie.

If you call me Dre, then you were friends with me in high school and still love me.

If you call me Tree, then you're Joe, who was confused, or you're a friend from high school.

If you call me Ducky, then you're Jen, who is probably my oldest friend.

If you call me Pete's Sister, you're from my hometown of Woostah.

If you call me Andrea-Pandrea, you're my uncle Ant-head.

If you call me Bitchwhore, then you're a bitchwhore (simple enough).

If you call me Sweetie, you're Alan.

If you call me Chickie, then you're fievel1.

If you call me Kid, then you're this guy Larry I used to work with.

If you call me Anwa, then you're EricZero way back when.

If you call me Nina, then I've misled you. Heh.

If you call me goddess, then you're either Blair or littlefrogling.

If you call me Our Queen, then you work in the kitchen and have a crush on me.

If you call me Podling (or any variant thereof), then you've known me online for less than five years and probably don't see me often in real life.

If you call me Freak, then you're likely tanaise.



I think that covers it all, more or less...


Oops, missed a few!

If you call me Evil One, then you are INSANE!!! or digriz. Not that the two are that far apart. :P

If you call me Succubus, then you're Jay.

If you call me Adrian, then you're either my cousin Davey (who thought that was my name) or someone who worked with me at Blockbuster when I was a wee one.

If you call me short, then you've been paying attention.

Bitchwhore! :)

Bitchwhore!!!

Is it ANN-dree-uh or ahn-DRAY-uh?

[podling]

The first one is how I pronounce it. The second way is how people who want me to glare at them do it. Apparently it's amusing. heh.

That's a good point though, I maybe should've clarified. Oh well...

[wintersweet.livejournal.com]

I usually assume it's the first, but then people who want it pronounced the latter get all pissy because it's FRENCH YOU KNOW or whatever. ;p

[podling]

Yeah, I think those people are full of themselves. Hee.

I had friends who I just didn't bother correcting, because my boyfriend at the time (briefly, very briefly) was friends with them, and he always pronounced it the other way. Pissed me off. Then one day I freaked out and they started practicing the correct way. ;)

I have an aunt AHN-dree-uh. I think she's the only person I've ever known who is pronounced that way, though.

[podling]

I've run into it a few times in the world of big business. So it's not that unheard of, but it's not the norm, certainly. People in my family occasionally pronounce it that way to mess with me.

If you call me Mrs. Polselli, you're a telemarketer, and right after I tell you my mom doesn't live here, I hang up on you.

You miss the part where you say "Please put me on your do-not-call list." This is really the best way to deal with telemarketers. They have to comply and while it doesn't keep other companies from calling you, your name gets propagated less since they can figure that you'll have that response to most/all telemarketers.

Often I do that too... the first few times it flustered me. Or if they say "Mr. or Mrs." or the few times they've actually asked for my dad by name. They don't even live in this state!

But I did put my name on the Do Not Call registry, and I do tell them to take me off, sometimes with an explanation of why I don't need their services now, or ever.

i always like the telemarketers who call asking for my dad, cause then i get to yell "hey, mom, is dad still dead?" and hang up

I would so have loved to see you do this. I mean, really. Really really. Heh.
