Let's talk about SNs.

[mamasaurus]

I always wonder about people's screen names, especially here where most people aren't lazily doing the "initials and a chain of numbers" thing. Why did you pick yours? Is there a story behind it? Did you change it in the GBCN exodus? Does MWOS keep her computer muted? Does JanieJones like The Clash? Does frkls have freckles? SO MANY QUESTIONS.

My story:
My Wii character is named Bitchasaurus because I'm really bitchy when I play Mario Karts. I run people off the road and then turn around and wave at them. I wanted to use it on TB/TN, but they won't let you make a SN with "bitch" in it. I sometimes call my birds "my little dinosaurs," so I went with Mamasaurus. Obviously I kept it the same over here. I am not the mamasaurus with the catholic mommy blog or the one on twitter, though--those are other people.

[statlerwaldorf]

Mine is my two favorite muppets. They speak to my soul.

[lazyphoque]

I like Family Guy and cursing

[melindafelinda]

My parents named me when I was born.

[Jalapeñomel]

Well I was theatremel, because well, I was an actor and then director/teacher/etc.

Now I just love hot stuff, especially jalapenos.

I don't know if the link will work. If it doesn't, just you tube guy on a buffalo

[nahoku]

Na Hoku is the name of a catamaran that my family likes to ride when we're in Waikiki. I believe it means "the stars" in Hawaiian. I was born in Honolulu.

[rupertpenny]

Mine is the names of my cats. I had a SN with my first name in it on TK and I eventually wanted something sightly more anonymous.

I also like how it sounds like a name from a British Victorian novel or something (at least it does in my head).

[Deleted]

I was lazy and used my first/middle name.

[thebuddhagouda]

The Honors Program at my University required a four semester class that intertwined world religion with literature and history so you would study the history while reading the literature/philosophy/religious works of that period. The finals were completely essay and brutal.

During an all night study session with some friends, while studying Buddhism, I was eating cheese and crackers. We were all pretty delirious and thought it was fucking hysterical when I assumed the lotus position and declared myself the buddha of gouda and it just kind of stuck.

Mofongo is my favorite food in Puerto Rico, I only get the good stuff when we visit, a couple of times a year.

I had no idea this was a food! I was reading it as "mofo 'n go." Wow, I was waaaay off with that one. It sounds delicious, though. I love plantains.

[firedancer49]

Umm, I like Dave Matthews and I am not very creative.

[jaylea]

Jay = first initial J
Lea = middle name.

Koala.

[MWOS]

Mary Without Sound is a song by the band Motion City Soundtrack

you should listen to it! It's good!

[roadstar]

H has a Yamaha Roadstar. I can't remember/have no idea why I used it as my screen name.

[gozf]

I'm fascinated by Zelda Fitzgerald. I'm not really crazy or boozy enough, and I'm sure not a good enough dancer, to actually feel a real connection to her.

[messykitchen]

I don't mind cleaning, unless it is doing dishes. Hence, my name.

[Ruby Gloom]

I think Ruby Gloom is a cute cartoon. And the theme song is appropriate, I think:

So today were gonna
Take a time to show ya
The br- br- bright side of the dark side
Only think you oughta
No, you really gotta
See the br- br- bright side of the dark side
Ruby Gloom, Ruby Gloom

My SN on TN was similar to Tamb's and once she said I should change it, plus it was kind of pretty identifying, so Ruby is a little more or less anonymous for me.

[deanlicker78]

A character in Supernatural (shocker!) is webmistress of a fan fiction site and her online name was Samlicker. I'm more of a Dean girl.

[alzi]

Nickname.

[flamingeaux]

i like pink and flamingos, but since i live in Louisiana, I decided to use the "geaux" spelling for the the end. I'm contemplating changing though.

[Deleted]

After I ninja'd at the Philly GTG Hi kept saying I should change my sn to ninjabride. So when I joined the bump I just did that and added "mom" since I was going for baby purposes. Rejoined ML, moved here, and kept the same name for consistency's sake.

I'm horrible at finding screennames.

Do you think it's true that she helped her husband write his novels? Also, he comes off as such a prick in her book.

[ThirdandLong]

Football - third and long is usually suspenseful because either your team is left facing 4th down, which usually means punt, or they are successful and advance the down markers. A fresh set of downs can mean a scoring opportunity.

I really love football.

edit: I changed my SN after TN because that one was too wedding plan-y.

[EmilieMadison]

Its my first and middle name. So original.

[jeekerbeeker]

My name is Jennifer but when my little brother started talking he couldn't say it so he called me Jeek which somehow evolved into JeekerBeeker.

[Deleted]

It is a nickname DH gave me based off of my initials from my maiden name.

And 24 is DH's baseball #. (Well, because he is old now, it is his softball #). It will also be DS's # when he starts Tee ball next season.

[Deleted]

My SN used to be the initials of the town where I got married/ area in which I grew up. Now it's sort of what the initials sounded like when said aloud. Also I like to wobble.

She didn't exactly help him. He stole her ideas and lifted passages from her diaries.

It's hard for me. I love his books, but he was such a total asshole. Poor Zelda!

But not fall down?
