Sweet. I'm Joanne, too. In elem school my nickname was JoJo from Kokomo. I hated it. Naturally, it stuck until I stopped hating it. Now, the only one who calls me JoJo is my OLDest friend - we've known each other since she pointed out that she was 6, and I was 'only' 5. I've never let her forget that she's older.
