Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I wonder if there was a precipitous drop in babies named Katrina.

I don't remember ever being physically bullied. Teased, yes, always about my weight (but never about my glasses or me being a big ol' nerd, surprisingly enough), but physically abused, never.
For me, the biggest bad memory from junior high was the fact that my nickname for those three years came from one of my classmates saying when we were in 6th grade that I was "as big as the Caspian Sea," so my nickname became "Kaspee." It was ubiquitous--if we ever had a reunion now, that would be the name most of my classmates would call me.
I would bet that, by 7th grade, if you had asked the kid who came up with that line where my nickname came from, he couldn't tell you.
But I could.

msbelle, I'm so glad that mac is home safe, and I just echo what everyone has said about the hard work you do every day. I'm in awe.

Good luck, Amy, with the transition.

Remember when BK came up with the fish sandwich named the Whaler?
I do, because that was my nickname for years. t edit And I still avoid eating at BK out of habit because of that. I don't even know if they still have such a sandwich (AND BEFORE ANYONE LINKS, I DON'T WANT TO KNOW SO KEEP YOUR LINK TO YOURSELF).
I'm not real sure why those nitwits from grade school keep requesting to be friends on Facebook. (Though I'm impressed that more of them seem to be not currently in prison than I thought there would be.)

Oh, yeah, that could be called precipitous.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I was skinny as fuck in high school (6' 3", 125#) so my nickname was "Slim Goodbody." I hated it, but that doesn't seem as bad as Kathy and Teppy's nicknames....
There was one bully who would grab my wrist to show how skinny it was....
