Item #1: My nickname

It's very simple, really. Apparently (and I did not know this at the time), I am a VERY SARCASTIC PERSON, and just a bit skeptical, although I have my gullible moments. When I was 25, my friend Matti, who wears a skirt, but only to dance in, and he even makes them specially for guys with hot glue, so as not to own a sewing machine, noticed this paticular bit of my character. "Yeah yeah," the skeptic in me would always say, whenever someone tried to pull the wool over my eyes. Matti, his talents not limited to seastering and the dance, proceeded to call me "Zaza" Not Zsa Zsa or some such pretensiousness, but Zaza, plain and simple and phonetic. It caught on like wildfire. Pretty soon everyone on the dance floor called me "Za" and there was no turning back. To this day, Zaza it is, in certain circles. I try hard live up to my nickname.
