I've noticed that I sometime give internal nicknames to people I see regularly, but don't know. Like "Big Dog Guy" for someone I always see walking a remarkably large dog.
Lately, though, it occurred to me that I have a kind of funny one. I've taken to thinking "The Queen in Yellow" as an internal nickname for the woman that lives directly across the hall from me. In part, it's a reference to the fact that every time I see her (which has been four or five times now) she's dressed entirely in yellow. In part, it's a reference to the King in Yellow, a book in the Cthulhu Mythos tradition.
I wonder what nicknames I might have.
