When people asked me for my name (It's Lucifer), the 2 remarks I get 95% of the times are:

"Are your parents Satan worshippers?"
"Are you Christian?"

The other 5% are usually: "Seriously, what is your name?"



EDIT: and no I am not a satanist, nor are my parents. Nor are we Christians or religious. I'm asian

However, the leader of the pack decided to give her a hard time. My daughter does not know how to back down, and so she stood firm by her right to pass through the hallways.

Now, you need to know that my daughter is highly intelligent. She struggled with autistic type behaviors when she was younger but she is a gifted pianist, writer, and also excels in science and math. She is not a Barbie Doll but doesn't seem to want to look like everyone else. She dresses like a homeless person on purpose. She's a bit of Daria and Gilda Radner rolled into one. She is very unique and her teachers love her for it... she's a pain in the ass at home but I am very proud of her. Anyway.

Within a few moments, my daughter and her very petite and frightened friend were surrounded by ghetto chicks. "FIGHT... FIGHT... FIGHT!" was starting to be chanted.

"What's your name?" asked the big black chick.

"My NAME is Shaniqua Tiquana!" is what my very special child answered.

There was an extended silence. My daughter thought to herself, Oh my God, what did I just say???? (She says that in her mind, she heard "My Name is Inigo Montoya! You Killed my father... prepare to die!)

The black girls started cracking up and let her go on her way.

:laugh:

For some reason I'm picturing your daughter to look a little like:

1) Basura
2) Video interview where Basura is in normal clothes

The above is from the stupid show "Who wants to be a Superhero?" which is so stupid but I've been watching it anyways. Basura has a hot looking costume and when she was ejected from the show they showed her in her normal civilian clothes and I was surprised by how she normally dresses. She wore clothes like a bohemian gypsy and I was expecting something different based on her super-hero costume. Unfortunately, I can't find any screen shots with those clothes she wore on that episode but the video gives a hint of the type of clothes she normally wears.


That's pretty close, Stormrider... she has her hair dyed bright red with black streaks through it, though.

Yes, I am proud of her... and our friends and family in Real Life are still cracking up about it. I guess if you didn't get it or thought it was lame, you had to be there. But honestly, the most wonderful thing I have gained since having this particular child 14 years ago is that I now couldn't care less what you all think of me or my story. Before I had her, I might have wanted to please everyone. She taught me to not worry so much about what other people think. Her slight autism has been a blessing.

I love the fact that she's so fearless. I love the fact that she turned a bad situation into a good thing. Those girls probably won't pick on her now, because she defended herself. She was scared shitless but she didn't back down. That's my mamacita.

Unique is my sister's roommates name

But i don't get it....other than a funny name is there something im missing?


Yes. She was about to get her ass kicked and she made the bullies laugh instead. I didn't think it was that complicated!


its not complicated. its just not funny either. but good for her standing up to them. wich is what you have to do to bullies

the bullies thought it was funny.
that's all the matters. she got out of the situation with some humor. good for her. :thumbsup:

Names are a funny thing. Lucifer is a perfectly good name... you just make it your own. My daughter's name is not Shaniqua but I have been calling her that since she was little. It's my private nickname for her, because she is fierce as hell. She kicks my ass on a daily basis. But I love her anyway, maybe even for it. My kids have made me who I am today.

Oh, I worry about her. She's very talented though... a natural comedian and musician... and they have a great drama department there. So I am hoping that she can get a reputation as an entertainer and people will respect her for it.

She JUST turned 14 so it is nerve wracking. I teach across the street, so I am very much in contact with the admins at her school.
