Names

When I'm lecturing myself, I refer to myself as "Loony" often. Example, "Ghaaaa, Loony, you know you shouldn't do that..."

It seems to be a compromise between "Azure Lunatic" and "Joanie".


The name 'Ni was actually given to me by BJ. He met me at school, and wound up calling me Joan. My family calls me Joanie. After we became engaged, I would occasionally attempt to insist that he call me Joanie, by correcting him by saying, "Joanie!"

"'Ni!" he would respond. So I became 'Ni.

I liked the Monty Python reference, and kept the name even after he and I broke up.
