It is one of my life's ambitions for someone to call me "Infidel."
It has to be in completely casual conversation and it can't be a complete joke (they don't have to seriously mean it but it has to be deadpanned or otherwise seemingly serious even if they aren't) but it can be offhandedly said ("Ais, you're such an infidel. Like I was saying..."). And it has to be unsolicited-- so it won't count if someone calls me infidel now just because they read this entry and know I want someone to.
I'm going to be so excited on the day it happens...
By the way, it came up in conversation the other day about how to pronounce my name. If you pronounce it like "ice" you are WRONG. But you are also like everyone else I've talked to. (I guess I can see why people say it that way? But it never even occurred to me that anyone would.) I say it like "ace."
It's short for Aislin. Which I actually found out I also pronounce incorrectly, technically, if you're going according to how it should be said in Gaelic *cough* But I take no responsibility for this because all the research I initially did led me to believe that it was pronounced "ACE-linn." (It's apparently pronounced Ash-lynn).
I AM AN INNOCENT VICTIM SLASH BYSTANDER SLASH PASSERBY! And that's is all I have to say about that. ;p
