it wasn't what you thought

Interested in another nickname story? I promise it will be quick, but I can't promise it will be as heartwarming as the Ricky story. However, I do still feel the need to write it. You see as I was gushing on and on the other day about my deep love for my friend Kathy I may have mentioned her nickname Scarybush a couple of times. Now to the uninitiated I realize it sounds borderline perverted and I am being kind in that assessment. So allow me to explain the origins of Scarybush.

A few months ago I had the opportunity to attend a showing of the Queen Musical, We Will Rock You with the girls from work. It was an amazing day. Just so much fun, but we always have a great time together. Now in the musical the main characters are Galileo and Scaramouche. If you're even a little bit familar with Queen's lyrics then these names will likely make a lot of sense to you. At some point in the show one of the characters calls Scaramouche Scarybush instead. Starting to make sense yet?

So now the show's over and we're headed off on our long walk back to the train station. It was cold and very windy that day and my Kaffy has the most beautiful naturally curly hair. You can correctly assume that the wind was not kind to it that day. Something she remarked about on the train ride home, to which I quickly retorted... "yeah, talk about your Scarybush." And much to Kathy's dismay it stuck. Well at least with her sister and I it did and that, I guess, is the important part. So all you pervy googlers out there, keep moving, there's nothing to see here.

In other, completely unrelated news there are some big things planned for my little corner of the internet. I'm hoping to announce a fundraising initiative and a contest next week. Once I get all the kinks worked out. Trust me you will all be the first to know!
