# wtf is hedy?
simple answer: it's just my first name :)
but actually, it's a little bit more than that. 'hedy' for various reasons,
isn't my legal first name, or rather, not the first name on my passport.
However, if anyone would like to mention/call/name me, the most comfortable or
suitable way for me is by 'hedy', it just feels like me, my legal first name
sounds really weird and wrong
My IRC nick used not be hedy and (not sure about others) when people mentioned
me, like "20 colors is too less, weirdnick, try updating your program" it just
feels weird, so I decided to stick to my "first name" whenever I can so it
doesn't feel weird (lol)
An advantage for my current username is that it's only 4 letters, so it's easy
to type, say in URLs or emails, which if you actually think about it, few ms of
differences added up can have a huge consequence XD
# so how do I pronounce it?
h: like in how (obvious right :D)
e: 2 ways:
1. like ea in head (preferred)
2. like ay in haystack
dy: like in Andy
