But, yep that's where it came from. People always ask me..."Is that your real name?" My boyfriends Grandma...she gets my name all confused and calls me leaf. LOL |

You crack me up! But you don't have to tell me about names. I have heard EVERY possible way you can pronouce Azia. And when I introduce myself people either think I said Angel (which kills me) or when they see my name (although I have introduced myself as "Asia") they call me "Azeeah". Kills me everytime.
By the way, you seem so cool. You remind me of a friend of mine so much. I am going to be sending a friends request through myspace. It should be coming your way soon.

Name: Heather Marie. Marie is technically my middle name, but several years ago I started having everyone call me Heather Marie because, I don't know, I'm weird.
Age: 23, but look about 12.
Location: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I've lived here my whole life, but probably won't live here all of my life.
Profession: Professional student. Right now I'm getting my MA in Social and Public Policy Analysis, and next year I will start a Ph.D. program in political theory so I can be a professor and academic when I grow up.
Ethnicity: My heritage is mostly Italian and German, with a dash of English and French thrown in there somewhere, according to my mother.
Random stuff: When I'm not living at school, I like to read, knit, and crochet.
How I got into MAC?: About six years ago, they opened a MAC counter at my local mall, and I went in and got a makeover and was instantly hooked. I started wearing makeup in general when I was in middle school and my mother took me to the Clinique counter because I needed makeup for a dance recital. From then on I was obsessed with department store cosmetics! I got into more crazy colors when I discovered Urban Decay, which was about ten years ago.

my biggest pet peeve, and i know, it sounds stupid because Nikki is such a common name, right? Well, for some reason, 75% of the time when I answer the phone at work "This is Nikki speaking" I get "Oh Hi Mickey... I have a question regarding ______"
and then I just either hit my hand on my head and continue the conversation or if I'm feeling ballsy say "Actually my name is Nikki with an N but sure, I can help you"
How many people are named Mickey? Seriously? And girls at that!!! You'd think people would realize i'm saying NIKKI. NIKKI. NIKKI!!!

I always secretly wish I could be artistic but I don't have an artistic bone in my body.
