What in the Name of Twix?

So someone asked me the other day why is your name Twix? Well this is a good question. I've been called by many nicknames in my life time......Spongebob, Nemo, Fat Girl (which is ironic if you know me)....random stuff. I even had a man from my church call me something crazy. He totally screwed up my name...he got my last name wrong and even added a Jr. after it (I'm a female so I have no idea where he got this whole Jr. business from) Yet, even that name as become an inside joke amongst my good friends and sometimes qualifies as one of my nicknames.

But anywho....the name Twix actually came from a Myspace game that I took during my freshman year of college. You were asked these random questions to come up with your soap opera name or something like that. They asked for your favorite candy and your favorite fragrance. At the time mine responds were: Vanilla and Twix...so the game generated the name (drum roll please) Vanilla Twix.....pretty creative right lol. After I took this I thought nothing of it and I was telling my boyfriend at the time (ex-boyfriend now) about it. He thought it was funny so he started calling me Twix.

Now almost 5 years later no one calls me Twix except him and what's even weirder is that I was bored on Facebook a few weeks ago and it was a nickname quiz. The questions were random such as what is your favorite color, favorite subject, etc...no real questions that would really constitute a proper nickname but ironically when I was done I got the nickname: Twix. So apparently somewhere in the universe they want my name to be Twix so I'm just gonna go with it.

lol. I gave you the nickname fat girl as a joke because you're the total opposite of a fat girl. When I was reading the part about the old guy from church messing up your name, I was cracking up laughing and saying the name out loud. Even though it happened years ago, it is still so funny to me.
