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!

Sherlock Holmes || Sherlock

Dull. Boring. Predictable.

[And completely false, not that he'd ever admit that out loud.]

[A scoff.]

random, but I <3 you so much for Odo!

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

If you have something to say... say it. Otherwise you're wasting time for both of us.

Re: random, but I <3 you so much for Odo!

[constableodo]

Of course it's predictable. [Another scoff.]

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

And you are restating the obvious for what purpose?

[constableodo]

[Odo rolls his eyes, shakes his head and sighs.]

What do you think it is? [He's looooooking at you, Sherlock.]

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[And he'll just look right back.]

It doesn't matter what I think. It was just as possible to be something dull as it was to be something so outlandish that it wouldn't make any sense. For the record, on this occasion, if I can't have my own name, then I prefer dull.

[constableodo]

So do I. [Still judging you SO HARD.]

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Sherlock rolls his eyes. This is getting tedious.]

And you're judging me why?

[constableodo]

[Groan.] You're annoying.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Sherlock raises an eyebrow.]

Explain.

[constableodo]

[Scoff.] There's nothing to explain.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

And people say I'm bad at communicating...

[constableodo]

Ha! [Yes, you are. Not that he's much better.]

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Again Sherlock raises an eyebrow.]

Well. At least I make the attempt...

[constableodo]

[Oh, you did. You simply didn't succeed. Your attempt earns you yet another scoff.]
