1) Do you have a nick name? How did you get it?
I have had a number of them. Within my family it has always been Catfish, both for catching and eating them. There are still quite a lot of people in the Waco area that have called me Doc likening me to Doc Holliday since the late 1980s because of something I did back then. Years before Tombstone came out I could have told a few bad individuals: "I'm your huckleberry.".
2) If you could break any world record, what would it be.
Sleeping for sure.
3) whatcha up to this weekend?
As little as possible.

Thanks for the tag @Lane
I go by a shortened form of my first name as a nickname. I just asked to be called it when I started my program at school. I wouldnāt mind going by that at work too, but multiple people here have a name thatās similar, so I donāt want to cause confusion. I also didnāt think of that nickname until someone asked me about it, at which point I was already established at work going by my full first name. Iāve always wanted to have a nickname thatās similar just arose organically from other people, but that never happened.
tbh I donāt know if I really have any records I would like to break.
This weekend I need to work on my assignment for school thatās due at the beginning of August, and I hope to watch the World Cup final and third place playoff.

1) Do you have a nick name? How did you get it?
Angie is my nickname, although I went for many years without realizing it was a nickname lol my family always called me that.
2) If you could break any world record, what would it be.
Oldest person to get a PhD?
3) whatcha up to this weekend?
Working on some grammar lessons in English. Amazing how much I don't know about my native language.

1. I have a few from different people.. an old friend has called me Lobs since we were around 6 years old - even she doesn't know why.
2. Probably Worlds Best Procrastinator
3. Emptying out the spare bathroom this morning ready for the new one to go in next week. Then heading down to the south coast to stay with some old friends for the weekend

1. I had some nicknames. Some of them were really weird. One of them was "Capybara", and I don't really know where that started or who created (It was in high school).
There was people who would say I was a son of X or Y person as a nickname, and I have no idea on where that started too.
Here in my country nicknames are kind of common, and they really pick up the most obvious trait to make something ("German" if you are blond, "Fat" if you are fat, "Jap" if you are asiatic)
Some people really act and talk to me as if I was "asiatic" (I look loosely asiatic though), but I don't have any asian blood in my family (as far as I know).
2. Probably some of those where the guy eats 30 cheeseburgers in a row. I think I'd be great in that.
3. Nothing as far as I remember.

Thank you for opening the cafe & tagging me Lane Sorry to be here a couple days late, definitely gonna try to be here more again though.
1) Do you have a nick name? How did you get it?
Yup, itās a shortened version of my full name, cos I donāt like to be called my full name.
2) If you could break any world record, what would it be?
Canāt really think of anything, other than maybe having the best, most fun ideas, oh, or being the richest person in the world, thatād be great. As someone who has always been quite poor, I would absolutely keep lots saved and also use it to help those less fortunate.
3) whatcha up to this weekend?
Not much overall. Hasnāt been the best weekend for me, hot water has been off in our building since yesterday afternoon, so now I gotta go to my friendās place just to be able to have a warm shower. I hope they will get it fixed here soon.

1) I have a few nicknames. The most common ones are Sue, Roxinha, and Pardinha. "Roxinha" came from the fact that I have purple hair and it's my favorite color, so some people started calling me that, and it just stuck. "Pardinha" is another nickname my friends use for me.
2) If I could break any world record, I'd choose the record for reading the most books in a year. I love reading, so I think that would be a fun challenge.
3) This weekend I plan to play some games and watch a few anime series. I worked all week and it was pretty exhausting, so I just want to relax and recharge.
