Miscommunication

"lets go to a movie at 4:15."
"okay i will meet you in the lobby at 4. "
"Hey it's 4 where are you?"
"I am here in the lobby"
"so am I!"
"I can't see you where are you?"
"by the concession stand"
"No you aren't I am by the concession stand"
"Oh are you at the riverwoods theater"
"no the mall one"
"yeah we are in different theaters"

Why do things like this happen all the time? This is why I am such a control freak.

All Things Hallie

Hi. My name is Hallie. Today you get to hear more than you ever wanted to know about my name.

I looked at 3 different sites for what Hallie means and where it is from.
Origins: English, Greek, and Scandinavi
meanings: Praise The Lord, thinking of the sea, heroine
Short form of the word "Hallelujah" I KNEW IT!!! I knew Hallelujah came from my name.

Peeps with my name:

Hallie Kate EisenBerg.



Halle Berry (she would win more oscars if she had an "i" in her name)



This picture is of a body of water named Lake Hallie in Wisconsin. I am famous there.

When I was 15 I wrote lots of songs. The first song I wrote is the following:

My name is Hallie Hallie Hallie Hallie
It isn't Gina Gina Gina Gina
You can call me Haylie Haylie Haylie Haylie
But I won't answer answer answer answer
(sing 3 times total: first time sing normal, second time is rocker, and 3rd time is opera legatto)

I wish I could add sound to this so you could hear it. It's quite catchy, really.
I have worked at my office for almost a year now and they still call me Haylie and Gina. Even the same person calls me those names. Contrary to my song, I do not correct them and respond as if it's my real name.

Ooooooo here are some nicknames!
My family calls me reckless abandon because I am a walking disaster--I have no control over whether the liquid goes from the pitcher to the cup so don't ask me to pour you a glass of anything.
I told my friend in elementary school that I hated ho-ho's by little debbie. Maybe you don't know what I am talking about so I will put a picture of them on here:

yeah so from then on he called me "Hallie ho-ho." Haven't spoken to him since.
Maybe you don't want to know this but my first boyfriend called me sweet vanilla.
My sister calls me bertha.
A couple buddies call me hal pal
and then there is the occasional halliegirl, halshum, hallieshushu...
