the USERNAME meme

Journal names. They're something we all think about, and that we often try to make as fittingly torturous to our characters as possible. Isn't it nice that our characters never have to know they're wandering around with that horrible label attached to them?

...wouldn't it be fun if they did?

RULES

1 Your character is communicating with others through a journal community, just like how we're using them, and they are perfectly aware of that fact. Whether they think that's normal or not is totally up to you.

2 The also know that when they signed on to this community, they were automatically assigned a name that supposedly has something to do with their personality and/or history. They didn't have any say in what that name was going to be, they're just stuck with it.

3 Make a post with your character's reaction to seeing what their own username is. Do they think it fits? Do they hate it with a passion? Are they downright confused?

4 Comment to other people's posts with your character's reactions to everyone else's usernames. If they know the other character, they might have good reason to laugh at them or feel sorry for them. If they don't, this could lead to some pretty interesting first impressions, don't you think?

5 If you want to use a name that's different from your actual journal name, just mark that in your post. No need to create a whole new journal just to make your character's life worse for one meme. ;)

6 PROFIT!

You've gotta be freaking kidding me.

[knightatheart]

Too bad I can't tell if that's true.

[smellslikecherries]

It's something very stupid a friend of mine said. I knew I should have gone with the unflavored chapstick.

[knightatheart]

[He doesn't even know what chapstick is, but who really cares.]

Hey, at least cherries aren't a bad thing to smell like.

[smellslikecherries]

[Well if he ever learns, Kate's suggestion is go with the unscented. Especially if he works with a creeper.]

That's true. But of all the usernames it could have chosen, there are a ton of better ways to describe me.

Yours is nice.

[knightatheart]

Mine is a joke.

[smellslikecherries]

Oh. Well, I think we can both agree that whoever's coming up with these usernames is totally missing the point, then.

[knightatheart]

Either that or they're doing this on purpose.

[smellslikecherries]

That's more likely, and they probably think it's hysterical.

[wallets]

Is it true?

NEAL /FLAILS

[smellslikecherries]

I... guess? I don't make a habit of smelling myself.

go team live-action crime drama??

[wallets]

[but he's so curious now!!]

Cherry shampoo?

i've died and gone to heaven

[smellslikecherries]

[Neal, you are welcome to smell Kate anyday~]

Chapstick. Though shampoo isn't a bad idea for those "hours in the morgue" days.

i just want to tag everyone ever basically that's a good plan

[wallets]

[oh he probably would've if this wasn't a journal-community-whatever-meme.]

"Hours in the morgue." Okay. New and interesting, not exactly the first thing you usually hear about a person. So, what, cherry-chapstick-wearing undertaker?

totally a good plan i support this everyone needs a little caffrey in their life

[smellslikecherries]

[He's so smooth like that]

Cherry-chapstick-wearing homicide detective. Name's Kate.

they really, really do.

[wallets]

Even more impressive, then. It takes a lot to deal with homicides.

[smellslikecherries]

As much as I love getting to throw a killer behind bars, it's a job I wish didn't have to exist.

See, why couldn't my username have something to do with being a cop?

[owapplesapples]

I didn't do it!

[smellslikecherries]

I'm gonna kill you.

[owapplesapples]

Give me a break. It's true, it isn't derogatory. And it isn't as embarrassing as mine.

[smellslikecherries]

Embarrassing and oh-so-deserving.

[owapplesapples]

Hey! You say that like I had something -- Okay, so maybe, technically I did have something to do with yours, but... I kind of like it. It suits you.

[smellslikecherries]

Yours suits you. Mine is ridiculous.

[owapplesapples]

Yours is true. Mine is private.

[smellslikecherries]

Oh, come on, Castle. You can not tell me that is actually your safe word.
