the only way usually for me to get unbummed besides actually facing my problems or doing self-destructive things is listening to the whole clumsy album and then theif. makes me feel like someone cares.

Wow, a "bummed" thread!

*sets up camp*

Howdy all.

im bummed because people dont remember my name. it sounds really childish/stupid but i actually broke into tears today. teachers call me by my best friend's name - like, wtf! its been 3 years since ive been in his class. *sigh*. everyone thought i was crying because he *just* had given me a detention.

ie:

teacher: DENISE! you're staying after school today
me: ... *sniffle*...

and its not just one teacher either. its everyone.

Kick their asses.

But on a serious note, the next time a teacher gets it wrong, you should write a referral to the Office. That will show them.

people get my name wrong all the time .. i mean it's really not that complicated but people get all confused because there's a hyphen in my name .. idiots!

So.... what do they call you? I totally don't get what other pronunciation you could end up with

me? well my full name is jo-ann ... people automatically remove the hyphen on all paperwork so it tooks like joann and then people call me joan .. all through highschool my teachers kept calling me joan .. then my friends started calling me that because they thought it was funny .. i wasn't amused

see i would think the hyphen would clear that up, though I guess if it gets removed...

oh well, people are morons

i know how you feel. tis not funny

Try having a last name that's 11 letters long and starts with "Tz"

Then you can get back to me on this one

So, my friends don't invite me to go out with them anymore.

my last name is easy to pronounce but nobody ever gets it right
it's french but it's very rare that somebody actually pronounces it in french
so we've learned to just smile and nod when they say it the english way

Don't feel bad. People say Sarah wrong.
I don't know what their deal is, but its nothing personal.

Every single time I hgot a new teacher in high school, or someone has to read a role, people always call me Casey. I mean honestly, is Cassie THAT hard to read? I have never seen anyone spell my name Cassie and it's said KC. I used to get bummed over that. But then I just refused to respond to that name.

i know this has nothing to do about being bummed, but since we're kinda sorta talking about names, i'll just say:

spell my name with a J, and i will personally kick your ass.

like sonja?

My last name is also a very popular first name.
All my teachers call me by my last name and can't seem to remember my first name, at all. And, people make fun of the fact that my last name should be a first name.

yep, the english version of my last name .. can also be a guy's first name .. which is why i think people automatically say it the english way
