Four friends who I have tagged that I think will respond:
If you read my blog, consider yourself tagged!
Nicknames:
Hmm. Nothing now.
1. I dimly remember being called 'Fluffy' early in high school, a result of my 1989-1991 spiral-perm phase. All photographic evidence has been destroyed, so don't look for any.
2. I was sometimes called 'Allie' in ballet class.
3. My aunt always called me 'Munchkin'.
4. Oh, geez. I just remembered this one. In elementary school, people would call me Allison Wonderland. And the memories just keep flooding back--Allison Ketchup (my maiden name is Ketchell).

Hoo, you've got it good with the nicknames when compared with me. Mine: Beany, Crystalbell, Bowers Powers, Trigger, Sherlock, Little Shit, and Khemo<--got this one when I shaved my head a few years ago.
I lived in Cayucos when I was young, ages 4 and 5 maybe? Though my dad was just an adjunt teacher at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, we could afford to rent a beach front house south of the town. The Pacific Ocean was my back yard. Houses on that street sell for upwards of a million dollars now. And they are the same smallish one-story ranches that were there back then. It's a beautiful area, or it was 40 years ago. I'd love to go back for a look some day.
