Nic

When I was little, my dad didn't like it when we shortened our names. "Your name is Nicola," he would always say. So I went through primary school being called Nicola - only my closest friends called me Nic, and that was only after we'd been friends for a couple of years.

High school, a few more people started calling me Nic. Now a heap of people do. It's pretty much interchangeable. Mind you, if you don't know me that well, Nicola is preferable. Until you get upgraded. Lol - that's a bit mean, isn't it. Oh well. Call me Nicola for awhile, and then try Nic one day and see what my reaction is.

Meanwhile, all this time my Dad has only called me Nicola. So imagine my shock when tonight he says, "Nic."

What the?!
