gatdy

where did gatdy come from? a friend of mine in high school, lauryn, gave me the nickname. she would always sing the word gatdy to the britney spears song "i'm a slave for you". ya know the part in the video where they're having a group orgy and breathing really hard and singing "get it get it, get it get it, ohhhh". well, lauryn would sing "gatdy gatdy, gatdy dula". and why on earth would she sing that? because my middle name is gatdula. yeah. weird. but i'm not ashamed of it...anymore. it's my mother's maiden name. lord, i hated my whole name for the longest time. but now, i love love love it. so, when i was in 3rd grade, someone asked me if jessa was short for anything and i said it was short for jessica. that's how much i didn't like my name then. then the kid found out my name was jessamyn, because he asked our teacher, and made fun of me. :( i also used to tell people that the "g" that was always put down for middle initial didn't stand for anything. pretty sad. but anyway, i love my unique name now. my sister's name is kristin. while it's a pretty name, there are like, a million kristins everywhere you go. i, on the other hand, have never even met another jessa. and the only other people with the name gatdula i know, are my cousins. so, it's a pretty sweet deal to have an uber-unique name. i guess it wouldn't be if the cops were looking for me. but that hasn't happened and i hope it never does. ok, that's it. goodbye.
