Hi! My name is Bergit, but I'm somewhat-generally called "Bee" at CTY. (note: ignore her, she is B, y'all, not Bee!!! that's her initial, not an insect ~ love, [[User:Harriet|Harriet]]. ) Which is ok, and much better than "Beer-jeet", or any other mispronunciation of my name. You call me "Beer-jeet",  you die.
