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. ;)

Guess that makes both of us, huh.

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

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

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

Kinda pretentious if you ask me. [ Shrugs. ]

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

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

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

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

Yeeaaah, let's not go there.

Come on, Mr. Lowell, someone's gotta do it.

[ Let him change his tone for this.]

Yes, Sir Lowell. Go and take it for the team!

We'll be rooting you on from here. Once you return, a party will be had to celebrate how you faced the fangirls and their devilish desires with your Second Star unsheathed. [ Okay, back to normal now. ]

Maybe even a holiday.

I'm honored, but I'm afraid this duty is better suited for a fine Butt Accomplice such as yourself.

You will be remembered fondly.

I will never let you two live this down.

Looks like lady luck shone down on you!

[ WAIT HE IS DYING... DYING. ]

Selling me out so early over an imaginary typo...

I see how it is.

Glad I don't.
