Legolas the elf and Gimli the dwarf

My roommate's name is Jocelyn. Joc has long flowing blond hair and amazing features. The girl is a knock-out. she is also extremely intelligent and Extremely absent minded/ADD/a space cadet. Anyway, we have this friend, Matthew, who about three weeks ago decided to start calling her Legolas because she's also obsessed with Lord of the Rings and he thought the name fit her well. The funny thing about this is that her friends back home used to call her Legolas as well. Okay, so the other day the three of us were standing around and she hugged me. Now, my height is frequently brought up by these two because they are on the taller side; Joc a bit over 5'6 and Matthew is 6 foot. Hence, when "Legolas" and I hugged Matthew claimed I was a dwarf causing "Legolas" to cry, "GIMLI!!!". Legolas and I evaluated the finer points of this discovery. For one, we were not the best of friends when we first became roommates but now we're bestest friends and are hilarious when we're together. As aforementioned, "Legolas" is tall, thin and has long blond hair...this means she looks like an elf :) I'm on the shorter side and my last name is Dorff which is basically the same thing as dwarf; so, despite my lack of facial hair I am a dwarf. My roommate and I = Legolas and Gimli

Harsh! Your beard isn't nearly as big as Gimli's! (KIDDING!)

That's actually still pretty funny, so long as it doesn't offend you. I know the nicknames some people used to give me were downright cruel - particularly the one my parents bestowed upon me: poodle. What the HECK does that mean?!
