What's in a nickname?

The blogging concept to me has always felt like a public diary. Never having a consistent one myself, I never really found a great interest in starting one.

Now being forced to I will take the opportunity to talk about things that I am passionate about.

Lacking a nickname that sticks is a thought floating around in my head right now.

I have never had a nickname.

The only one I guess you could consider a nickname is Mandy, but that's the Amanda default name. Only my brothers and grandmothers call me Mandy.

Danger Bear is a name that my older brothers drunk friend called me on a night out in New York City. I'm not sure why, but I kinda liked it.

Danger and bear are not two words that go together unless its a kids show, like "Welcome to the Adventures of Danger Bear!!!!" He would be a bear that lives on the edge and fights crime... or not.


I also like to think I am a little dangerous and spontaneous though I know I am predictable in my attempts at danger.

So maybe, Danger Bear is actually the perfect nickname for me.

Bears are predictable but are dangerous to people... too much of a connection stretch?
