I KNOW that I'm not the only one who wants to know what it is.
Not even sort of. Do tell, sarameg.
So in my three days of summer vacation so far, Grace's nurse has been 90 minutes late 3 of those days. Awesome? Today, I had the very expensive injection coil replaced on my car along with forgetting to take Noah his lunch to school (again, Mom of the Year material here, baby!). I did however swim most of my swim workout. Or at least 2500 yards of it. But I didn't get to yoga. It seems life is conspiring to make it either swim day or yoga day.
I also got a Charlie and Lola DVD from the library (WIN) that I'm going to try to burn (bad library user). And the Schiff Cleopatra bio.
I'm giving up on March. Historical fiction related to the Civil War = snore. I still have a few days to finish Swamplandia.
How are you liking Swamplandia?
Also v. curious here about the naughty userid.
It's slow so far. I'm glad I got it as a library book and didn't buy it but I don't regret reading it...
I also just finished Girl in Translation and I'm so damn angry that I slogged through it. What a waste. On the other hand, What Alice Forgot? Super fun to read!
My first online name was billytea, over at Time Online. It's been a good fit for me.
I've got a user whose registered self assigned user id in our database is something obscene.
When we were choosing our usernames at Rice, we were told that you couldn't change it once you registered it. They spoke of one notable exception, however: one Teresa Watkins who innocently used her first initial and last name.
My first online handle was Ishtar. Then Ashtareth, which I was using when I first registered here. Then I was Zenkitty, and so I stayed. I've also used Juniper in a couple places. I can never find a name/handle that seems to fit. My friends say Zenkitty suits me, so I'll take their word for it.
I started on Table Talk as Sophia Brooks, and here I remain. Not my real name, but a real name.
Moi aussi.
In fact, this is my recollection of Salon's rules at the time: Please use your real name but if not, at least use
a
real name.
I've got a bundle of names on line. They are all variations on Trudy Booth, my Real Name, and my Nom du Porn.
Because of this I've never linked my various places (various IMs, Facebook, LJ, Twitter, etc.) together and now I'm quite glad of it as I see people getting upset when privacy setting changes one place and effs up the others.
I may have once used something else on like, prodigy boards in high school, but otherwise I've always been meara or some variant. Or my real name. Which means it's not much of a secret pseud since anyone who knows me IRL probably would recognize me online, and a lot of online people know my IRL name. Otoh, it's a thin veil of deniability for work and google purposes, I figure.
If people are
totally
agreeing online with another person, they should capitalize. ita != totally agreeing. This is all.
