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!

I guess we lucked out. Although I'm kind of wondering what horrible usernames we could have been assigned.

I dunno, maybe we could ask Kariya. [Not the faintest hint of a smirk there, nope!]

[kaminotakuto]

I saw. That seems kind of mean to him though. I'm sure he doesn't deserve one like that.

[doingthemistything]

Yeah, it's kind of cruel that he's stuck with it... But there's probably worse ones out there, right?

Definitely. There's someone here stuck with kickspenguins. Kinda makes you wonder.

[doingthemistything]

And I'm sure "twokarmicdeaths" is going to raise a few eyebrows. As well as concerns.

[kaminotakuto]

I agree. We should be grateful for the ones we have. It could have been so much worse.
