ILX Name Changes Part Nine: Reveal Thy Self!

Okay, what with all the Gm@il bizizzness and the regularly goofiness, I have to admit I'm a little lost as to who's who anymore.
So here's a thread where we identify ourselves.
I am Huk-El, which is the Kryptonian (hi Hstencil) version of The Huckle-Buck, formely known as Huckleberry Mann, formerly known as Horace Mann. Sometimes I log on as Huk-L (the Earth-2 version) or just Huck.

Your turn.

― Huk-El (Horace Mann), Monday, 14 June 2004 17:18 (nineteen years ago) link

I am the poster formerly known as @d@ml. Before that you knew me as Nordicskillz.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Monday, 14 June 2004 17:21 (nineteen years ago) link

I have never once changed my name. I'm about to change my e-mail address to gmail, though. Cheers!

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 14 June 2004 17:22 (nineteen years ago) link

I won!

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Monday, 14 June 2004 17:26 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't get this gmail thing, why would I need more space to store spam?

― Wobble Bat (jel), Monday, 14 June 2004 17:45 (nineteen years ago) link

it's for *hush hush* big files.

― SoSoSo (jel), Monday, 14 June 2004 17:46 (nineteen years ago) link

Jel, did you just answer your own question?

the part of Donna Brown will be played by Morley Timmons (or Black Chomsky if you're nasty)

― Morley Timmons (Donna Brown), Monday, 14 June 2004 18:50 (nineteen years ago) link

go on then

― Bloodclaart Gangsta Youth Club (don), Monday, 14 June 2004 18:53 (nineteen years ago) link

In my ILX infancy I posted as dorkangle.

― briania (briania), Monday, 14 June 2004 18:55 (nineteen years ago) link

ha ha Black Chomsky is a funny name. I'm not really sure why though.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 14 June 2004 18:57 (nineteen years ago) link

'cause we came up with it while I was drunk, that's why :)

― Morley Timmons (Donna Brown), Monday, 14 June 2004 18:59 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm still C J.

I've never really been Unruly though, maybe if I want to live up to this name I should only post when I'm drunk.

― C J (C J), Monday, 14 June 2004 19:05 (nineteen years ago) link

I briefly posted under the name Motel Hell (and foolishly carried on conversations with myself) but swiftly gave that meaningless ruse up. I now post soley under Alex in NYC.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 14 June 2004 19:46 (nineteen years ago) link

I did that too, Alex! It can be quite cathartic.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Monday, 14 June 2004 19:47 (nineteen years ago) link

Were you Aja?

― Jon in R'lyeh (ex machina), Monday, 14 June 2004 19:51 (nineteen years ago) link

I think a long long time ago I tried posting under my real name, but that was booooring. I have been Sarah McLusky for quite a long time now.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 14 June 2004 19:52 (nineteen years ago) link

stockholm cindy = jbr aka "jody"

although over the weekend i considered changing my name to "lillian roxor."

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 14 June 2004 19:53 (nineteen years ago) link

Aja is real!

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Monday, 14 June 2004 19:58 (nineteen years ago) link

I am not, was never, nor will ever be Aja. Aja is the daughter of BurmaKitty. I'm not entirely convinced, however, that BurmaKitty didn't occasionally post as her daughter.

Regardless of flowerly incarnation, Jon is almost always a fatuous jerk.

Now that I think about it, I occasionally log out to post the extreme ridiculosity that I don't want to be associated with.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 14 June 2004 20:02 (nineteen years ago) link

My first dozen posts were under my real full name. Fool. Otherwise, just Mark C and the occasional "humorous" username.

Though I have also, to my eternal shame, posted a couple of times as Barrington Lasagne, P.I.

argh. If it had worked, http://www.usatoday.com/life/gallery/grammy2001/nominees/fred-durst-arrival.jpg would have been my new screen name.

Yeah, they got rid of that function a while back.

You can go to "Settings" and turn on "show login name" or something like that if you're actually confused as to who is who.

On a couple of threads you just seen to be responding with one or two word posts questioning the previous poster, but not saying much. Like Aja with a hangover. Not a criticism, more concern.

I am really Tuomas, and that's my real surname on my e-mail address. I once considered of changing my username, and started a thread asking for suggestions for a new name, and someone (was it you Huck?) came up with a wonderful name (at least I think it was wonderful, because I can't recall it), but I decided to be just Tuomas after all. Apologies to whomever suggested the new name.

Started off as Dee the Lurker.
Stopped being a lurker; went to being Dee the Semi-Lurker.
Stopped being a semi-lurker; went to being Innocent Dreamer.
Thought Innocent Dreamer was terrible; went to being Just Deanna.
Tired of Just Deanna; went to being Legendary Nothingness.
Hated Legendary Nothingness; went to being Many Coloured Halo.
Gave Many Coloured Halo a rest; went to being Tenacious Dee.
Tired of Tenacious Dee; went to being As Sweet As Melody.
Gave As Sweet As Melody a rest; went to being Mellow Dee.
Tired of Mellow Dee; went back to being Many Coloured Halo.
Gave Many Coloured Halo another rest; went to being Those Beautiful Lines (as of May 7, it turns out).

Wow. Eleven name changes, or something along those lines. But considering that I've actually found a nickname I really feel comfortable with (Many Coloured Halo) and one that's not half bad (Those Beautiful Lines), I don't think I'll be making any additional nickname changes for a very long period of time. Don't hold me to that, though. Might get tempted to do otherwise.

And no, I've never posted anything using my full real name. A number of people know it and are keeping it close to them (well, if they know what's good for them, that is *wink*) and that's good enough for me.

I like my new name. I wonder how long it will last. Heh heh.

My settings permanently show user name attached to each post. It's possibly one of the most useful settings that most people don't use.

Heh.

I went back to Many Coloured Halo because I actually do love it. Even though my Duran fanhood seems to be diminishing by the day. These days, I get more giddy fangirlish over Franz Ferdinand. Aw, that cute little Bob Hardy. *sigh* That adorable Nick McCarthy. That gorgeous Alex Kapranos. That pretty Paul Thompson. I will naturally try to fight the impulse to change nicknames to "Words So Leisured" or similar until they release a second album or six months has passed, whichever is later.

Anyway.
