Things Change

[bertine]

Some of you aren't friends with gwangi, so you haven't read that he has decided not to join the army.

Right now things are still up in the air and will be for awhile. However, I am still going to fix up my condo and sell it on the same schedule because it is time for me to move. By time it is on the market I'll have lived here for 12 years.

Other than that, we are coming up with Plan B as we go along.

The name came about when I was talking with a coworker early on in the relationship. I mentioned that I only date girls with advanced degrees (it's odd, but it's worked out that way), and that my last girlfriend had been a professor. She then asked if Bertine was a professor, and I said, "No, she has a Master's."

"A Master's.....of the Universe?!?!?"

"Yep, I'm dating Shee-ra!"

...and then after I'd started calling her Shee-ra Hambone (which that same coworker had heard when I'd said "Holmboe"), I discovered that I was spelling the name wrong, but by then I didn't care.

That is a way better story than I ever could have imagined.

Yeah, it is a funny nickname but I sort of like it. I am only called that on his lj.

Here is the first use of it.
