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. ;)

Saft I can't see how big your mouth is on this site.

[Az is in a rare trolling mood it seems.]

You've seen my mouth in person to know how big it is!

Don't do this to me Az, you're supposed to be my best friend! Why couldn't that person handling me chose something a little cooler? I could be like I dunno--

"bestgoddamnedgoldenscaleintheuniverse" or something!

Or "white scaled and modest" perhaps?

...[She gives a little snort.] You sound just like Uncle Glad.

I wouldn't know. What name do you think your Uncle would have?

How about "allprudeandnofun"?

Haha, somehow I don't think he'd like it.

What about me? [Because she's not sure what to think about her own username.]

Hmmm.

You're a tough one Az. How about...

"dragsaround"?

"dragsaround"? I don't get it.

Well you're a dragon...

And you move around.

See where I'm going with this?

Well yes but that could fit any dragon, I don't know of any dragons that don't move.

Unless my name is "dragsaroundtrouble" [Is she calling Saft trouble? ~~maybe~~]

Was that a shot at me?

Maybe a little one.
