Day 53 (313) – My Name Is

 Track 2: My Name Is (why do I have a track listed?)

My name is actually Andrew Tarvin, but I like to go by Drew because you get a lot better nicknames with it, like people have called me Drewbear, Drudacris, Drucifer, and Winnie the Drew.  My ex-girlfriend always called me Drewsito, which roughly translates into “Little Drew” in Spanish.  (I’m hoping she was just referring to the fact that I’m skinny…)

It doesn’t really bother me if you call me Andrew, just not Andy.  I have no problem with the name for other people, but I can’t stand it when people call me Andy.  I think it stems back to a childhood experience.  All the kids used to make fun of me using the name Andy:

“Andy is a loser.”  ”Andy (-> ‘and he’) smells.”  ”And he thinks C is object-oriented.”  I hated those kids in Computer Science class.

NOTE: That last insult was incredibly nerdy.  If you didn’t get it, congratulations you are less of a dork than I.  If you did, you should feel ashamed.
