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!

Oh. Oh.

[A look of realization dawns on her.]

You look at those kinds of things while online. Don't you?

What are you...

[betterlogoutand]

[OH.

Turning bright red now.]

W-wait, no, it's not like that! They're just normal emails!

[withstoodtime]

It's okay. I mean it's normal for boys your age to look at those things, right?

[Homura meanwhile looks really awkward and uncomfortable.]

[betterlogoutand]

That's not it at all! Stop assuming weird things, it's nothing like that, they're just emails from friends!

[oh my god haseo is way too socially awkward for this conversation crying inside]

[withstoodtime]

Oh. So the pictures are from your friends?

[She is blushing so hard right now. This is too awkward.]

[betterlogoutand]

THERE ARE NO PICTURES!

[withstoodtime]

. . . so they're videos then?

[betterlogoutand]

Oh my god they're not videos either, they're just emails! Emails full of boring text that doesn't have anything to do with what you're thinking about, so quit it!

[withstoodtime]

Then why can't you tell me what they're about?

[betterlogoutand]

Because it's none of your business, can't I have a little privacy?!

[withstoodtime]

Well what else would you spend so much time on the internet for? If you don't tell me what you're doing, I'll just go to the natural conclusion.

[betterlogoutand]

It's important business, and why the hell is that your natural conclusion?! I'm not a pervert!
