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!

Look who's laughing, Mr.Vigilantic.

[vigilantic]

I don't mind. It's what I did.

[hopeofzaphias]

Who says we can't laugh a little, huh?

[second_star]

Well, your names are pretty hilarious.

[righteousrebel]

So does this count as laughing alone, or?

[vigilantic]

Good question.

[snarkymorale]

Hey, maybe if we all start on the count of three, we'll hit the same note.

[hopeofzaphias]

Right, who wants to count?

[second_star]

Not it!

[hisownjustice]

....fine.

1... 2...

[knightatheart]

Might be worth a try.

[hisownjustice]

Man. Never thought I'd see the day I thought I was lucky.

[second_star]

If you're "lucky", then we're all screwed.

[knightatheart]

Looks that way.

[abettor]

Guess that makes both of us, huh.

[second_star]

Let me guess. "Oh, I'm so clever! No one will have used this one!" is what they thought, huh?

[knightatheart]

Either that or "Oh, hey, that'll piss him off."

[abettor]

Ehh. More like "this isn't taken!!" with a hint of crazy in there.

Kinda pretentious if you ask me. [ Shrugs. ]

[second_star]

Man, just imagine if they misspelled that and hit enter, abuttor.

[abettor]

[ Pffft. ] At least that would bring in some humor!

Though I don't think I would like to be known as the butt accomplice.

[second_star]

I don't think the fangirls would really mind that, actually.

[abettor]

Yeeaaah, let's not go there.

[vigilantic]

Glad to know yours isn't a made up word.

[knightatheart]

That definitely isn't the worst thing on here.

[vigilantic]

Guess that's true.
