In kindergarten, we had those big fat pencils with no erasers on the ends, and I found myself writing my name R-e-B (cross out the capital B)-b-e-c-c-a. For months, all of my papers from school that were tacked on the refrigerator had the name "ReXbecca" neatly written at the top. Eventually, I got sick of it and went back to "Becca" and no one except my ex boyfriend's mother calls me anything else. I had the nickname until the day my dad died, but I've carried it on through my forum usernames because, you know, I rock :p
Well, I'll be damned...I never noticed the 'x' in there.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
