Hmm, I started out on AOL as dinky40 and still use it in my e-mail address, but otherwise I've always been a variant of my current username. Every now and then I think about changing it to my RL name, but I really like my username. I waffle, because waffles are yummy.
See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I started on usenet with my initials, but I've generally been some variation of Ginger.
ABC News just ran a piece on the turtles trying to get to their egg-laying grounds. JFK, inconveniently for the turtles, put a runway in the way [link] JFK stops plane traffic to pick up the turtles and give them a ride to the beach. ABC ran an exchange between the tower and an unidentified person:
"We've got turtles storming the runway."
"Do we really want to use the word storming about turtles?"

Now tagless for your comfort.
Started out as Cashmere. Cashmere everywhere--until I switched to my derby name on Twitter because I was tired of being referred to as a porn star and rapper. So I am Rose Redrum there.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
"We've got turtles storming the runway."
"Do we really want to use the word storming about turtles?"
This sounds like something out of Sports Night.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I started on Table Talk as Sophia Brooks, and here I remain. Not my real name, but a real name.

When I first went online I used my real first name & last initial. But my first "handle" was the pseud I still use over on LJ/DW. I'm pretty consistent...

My main email and my LJ ID are the name of a character I created for Star Wars fanfic 30 years ago (or more? I don't want to count it up). In other places, it's my real name (as here), or initials and my real last name.
My passwords are all characters from fanfics few people have read, so I think they're safe.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I used my real name on Prodigy (informally - my username was aqjn24a or something like that), and then picked up Persephonemoon for a pagan listserv way back when and also on TT. I went back to my real name on WX. Most places that aren't here I go by Alterjess.

Other than my real name and occasionally just s, sarameg is what I've always been online.
Work gaslit all of us today. It was surreal.
My cats are strewn about like discarded dust rags. And it isn't that warm. If only they'd use their powers for good and you know, dust?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I have had many, many handles. Here, anyway. Other places I use aimeejmc (livejournal) and TheEmpressAimee (that one is only for HP fanfic sites).
