I was doing a search for something entirely different, when I came up with this one, which pre-dates my appearance by 6 months. So, pulling a "Spec", I decided to resurrect and oldie but a goodie. Some many people have come and gone since its last post.
My given name is Scott. I'v always hated that name and during senior year of high school, I decided that when I got to college, I would just simply adopt the non-descript name of 'Jim'. What I didn't count in was that one of buddies, ever since 7th grade, would also choose to go to the same college. And while I was introducing myself as Jim, on the other end of the campus, she was introducing me as Scott. When the circle of friends began to coincide, there was confusion. That confusion was reconciled as 'Jim-Scott' or 'JimHyphenScott'.
BTW, this buddy of mine accidently knocked over a VFT that was temporarily in her care, when we drove up that September.
