Wait. That's not Liese's real name?
Or maybe you could just be Buffy, he'll see your amazing heart, and he'll fall in love with you.

I just put up a new ceiling fixture. That should be enough for one day, right?
I hate working above my head. Painting the Sistine Chapel, I would have given up after Adam's fingernail.

I just set up my Google+ with that name, too, so we'll see if Google punts me. But they might not, because my gmail address is kprinkle, too.

Thrive to spite them
I don't know how many SL people have been locked out of their accounts but there is some worry about it.
There's also a discussion on Google+ about if psueds should be allowed or only Real Names and a lot of the comments (at least the early ones) lean towards Real Names only for "transparency" and are good things and people using their real names will be civil, polite, and not be mean. While someone using a psued is trying to hide something and psueds lead to uncivil, rude, and mean behavior.
The discussion is herehttps://plus.google.com/106318111152683661692/posts/3UKv9qqT9mh
Also the interesting thing is that Google's Community Standards state that 'To help fight spam and prevent fake profiles,' the document continues, 'use the name your friends, family, or co-workers usually call you. For example, if your full legal name is Charles Jones Jr. but you normally use Chuck Jones or Junior Jones, either of these would be acceptable.'

I only do white wire to white wire, black wire to black wire electricity.

The problem of course is that I have multiple "identities" and while I am fine and happy to join Google+ with my real name for professional circles, I am loath to connect *any* of my non-work related activity to my real name. Period.

So, new to the internets then?
'use the name your friends, family, or co-workers usually call you.
Well, no problem then. There's a host of people around here I call by things that are not (one presumes) on their birth certificates.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Feeling kinda drained right now, don't know why.
