Today, there's a very funny thing happen in my neighborhood. So, one of my internet friends who live near me want to come to my house and play, as well as to copy some of my Arashi files since her internet is not good. I said ok to her and give her my address. Apparently, I forget to give her my real name.
As you all know, Juu is not my real name. It's just a nickname. I got it in 2005, and from the on I've been called Juu. Even if I introduce myself using my real name to the fans I meet in real life, they would still call me Juu. My parents know, fortunately, since when they call my house they won't say my real name, they will say Juu instead. I still remember though the first time my friend called me home.
Friend: Hello? Can I talk to Juu?
Dad: Juu? Huh? Who is that?
Friend: Eh? This is (my address), right?
Dad: That's right. But there's no one with the name Juu here.
Friend: *is confused* But, my friend said she live there and we just met at a gathering...
Dad: Ah, Arashi? Wait. (call my real name), your friend! But she said you're Juu. What kind of nane is that?
Me: LOL-ing. I'll explain later on.
So from then on, all my friends called my home still using the name Juu, even when they come to my house, knocking on the door and my dad/mom greeted them, they would say, "Is Juu at home?" It's so LOL And my dad/mom will say it straightly. "Oh yeah, she's in her room." XDDD
But even if my parents know, my neighbors didn't know. And the friend I'm talking about, who want to come to my house today, kind of lost. Well, my house is located in a very deserted area I guess, so it's hard for her to see the house. And it's small too LOL She really couldn't find my house so she ask one of my neighbors.
Friend: Excuse me. Do you know where Juu's house is?
Neighbor: Juu? Who's that?
Friend: *is shocked* She should live here, house number 4.
Neighbor: Ah, that's the house number 4 *points at my house* but no one name Juu live there.
*fortunately, my mom walk out of the house at that time*
Neighbor: (calling my mom's name), this child is searching for Juu
Mom: Oh, right. She's inside. She's been waiting for you.
Neighbor: *is confused* Someone name Juu live in your house?
Mom: Oh, it's my daughter. You know her.
Neighbor: O.o Her name is not (my real name)?
Mom: *straight face* That's her name. Juu is her other name.
I was LOL-ing so hard when my friend told me the story. It was so funny to me that my neighbors now know my nickname. This is another precious memory that I will forever remember about my nickname~ :D
