Entry: Hey, I've Got An Idea!

Hey everybody!!!

Before I explain the meaning of this post's title, I have a question. How does everyone pronounce Caribbean? Do you say: Ca-ri-bbean, or: Cari-bbean? As in, do you change the Cari into one or two sylables? I have heard it both ways. One other thing, how do you pronounce Celtic? Like with an S, like Seltic? Or like with a K, like Keltic? I pronounce it like with a K and my brother pronounces it like with a S. Let me know what you think.

OK, now to my idea. What I want is for everyone to comment and tell me what you want to be or do. Like if you're still in high school, what do want to be/do after high school? Do you want to go to college first and get a degree and all that jazz, or do you want to jump into the work force right out of high school? Comment and let me know! I think that if this post gets 5 comments, then I'll tell what I want to be. (I don't usually tell unless I am asked directly)

Entry: As Promised, I Will Now Explain The Nature Of My Name

To Whom It May Concern (Primarily "Pipsqueak"),

The name Half-Pint started about 5 years ago. I was playing soccer and there was a boy on my team with the same real name as me. Well, this was when I was very short. Back then, the name Half-Pint actually fit. Anyway, as you can guess, there was much confusion whenever the coach would call out "Andrew!!!" Everyone (especially the other boy and me) would then in turn ask, "Which one, Big Andrew (the other boy) or Little Andrew (yours truly)?" So then, about a quarter of the way into the season, I was pretty fed up. I then remembered that a friend of mine had called me Half-Pint just on a whim. So i proceded to tell everyone to start calling me Half-Pint. But, sadly, over time the name has been cut down to simply Half.

Anywho, that is the story of how I obtained the name Half-Pint.

Later!

Andrew
