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!

It is something people said about me, I suppose.

[ After two weddings with no consummation. ]

[fantasygalpal]

....What's a gal pal?

(Minoru - OC)

[itmeanstruth]

Yup. Someone knows how to read kanji!

[reorienting]

....Oh. Subtle, for body horror nod.

Why could it not have been about butterflies? Those are better.

[nutkrusher]

Heh. Yup.

[talkatively]

I mean I beg to differ but I can see a case being made for it.

[bewithme]

Just the one case?

[eyeofthehawk]

Who let Thor choose this?

[busdriver]

( here's hoping it was thor, and not loki. nobody needs a constant reminder of a bad time. )

It's not wrong, though.

[quiet_mischief]

It is the best type of mischief.

[robber_of_atms]

Among other things.

[fabrecation]

... Well, that's mean.

[shivmeabreak]

Could be worse! You could've gotten stuck with something like "fabreicsoftener!"

[schwyzerin_engel]

Seems rather self explanatory to me, if a little silly.

[sordiddetails]

I know where this comes from and I'm not ashamed of it.

[chainedtoaskull]

An unfortunate truth I'm afraid.

[the_rebel_son]

I was the first rebel. Why deny it?

[higginbottom]

...It's part of my fake name I use when I want to be somebody else.

Which is a lot, actually.

[chiaro_oscuro]

What a pretentious username. Light-dark - very original, too.

[armsartist]

Pffft. Oh sugar. 'Light-Dark' sounds like the name of some cheap store brand diet cola.

[dragonsflew]

Well, I like it. It gets the point across, and I am a dragon. Though I don't get the past tense.

[ziggyplayedguitar]

I've got past tense too. It's kind of concerning. My past tense is because I'm supposed to be dead.

[unapprovedtrash]

...Uh.

I mean, I did technically say I was something like that once.

[chiaro_oscuro]

You have a sense of humor, I see. Unapproved trash.

[Ben is not as humorless as he sometimes acts, but generally only people he knows and trusts see that side of him.]

[subject_013]

It is a painful truth, though I would rather not be reminded of it. I much preferred the username which this account had before.

[killerkiss]

Because my moves are more important than my name, my rank or my career to some people, apparently.

[solobutnotalone]

....

This is not even up for discussion.

[sensitivo]

[Someone is hiding a chuckle behind his hand, doing his best not to laugh. Look, it's not his fault that's actually a pretty fun word play.]

Well, I think it's kind of cute.

[weilding]

It's not inaccurate I guess. All things considered and what I seen here it could be a lot worse.

[iamthebusiness]

It's the truth, or it was. Not a pleasant realization though.

[goodrighthook]

HA! C'mere and I'll show ya.

[hesperussword]

I would have taken you on my side in a fight, but if you deserve that title, I'm calling you next time a brawl breaks out in the bar.

[flic_flac]

Huh. Okay, gotta admit that it's clever. A ballet term that happens to be the name of a species of spider too...
