About
My name is Alexander but, upon attending orientation for my new school, my second grade teacher refused to call me this. At the age of seven, I had to make a decision about what my new name would be. For about three minutes, my teacher Mrs. Grossman said name after name that was a shorter version of Alexander. With my middle initial being C, She eventually came to A.C. I liked that, so it was decided then that was what she would call me. This name stuck since then. But, my friends in high school and my cousin Jay (who my family calls JR or Cricket, don't ask.), thought this was too long as well. I know, the struggle of two syllables. With A.C. being too long, these objectors started calling me the monosyllabic Ace. When I went to college, I thought that A.C. was juvenile, and I tried to become an Alex. I hated people calling me Alex; it sounded really dumb to me. So, I reverted back to being called A.C. But, anyone who figured it out called me Ace. Ace, A.C. call me what you will. But, if you call me Alexander and are not a matronly Black woman or my old African American Studies professors, you will get an unfriendly glare. I'm still working on how I would glare at someone thought a computer networking site, but, once I do, it's SO on.

Put THIS in your pocket.
If you have ever been a) an American college student, b) broke, and/or c) into mid 1990's gangsta rap (read: you saw the "nothin' but a g thang" video), you know of the importance of the 40. For all those unfamiliar, the 40 is exactly what it sounds like: 40 ounces of …

i adored the squid and the whale. and until you mentioned it, i never considered any of the characters to be unlikeable, but thinking now i can totally see how that makes perfect sense. i suppose its because, to me at least, they seem somewhat hard to relate to on certain levels. i never really found an attachment to any one of them
