i have always loved my name, nicole, and since i'm writing on one of my quick little 15 minute breaks and i already blew half of it, i'm just going to patter out something i was thinking about during our meeting today. please don't be disappointed as i write, because it's going to read cheesy and flat! it already "sounds" like a second grade paper!
nicole means victory of the people and it is rooted in the French language. nicole, french. victory. i come from passionate people: norwegians, germans, italians, and wild native americans (i.e. cherokee), so joel says i'm viking, nazi, mafia, and warrior. killer! i know that's totally stereotypical and not even sensible to link those meanings to those people, but don't you think it means victory? victory! nicole! arrrrhghghah;sdlkjfa;sldhfgha1!!!!
well, ever since i can remember, people have randomly called me michelle. everywhere. people who haven't even seen me, but talk to me on the phone at my job have called me michelle! haha! people who have known me for years have accidentally called me michelle, or at least wanted to! i don't think i really look like a michelle, but today i looked up the meaning and it made my heart flutter; every time they say that, they're saying, "close to God," that's what michelle means.
i love it.
