I recently found out I used to be Brink (lost that one in a drunken debacle two summers ago). Being dappled was very much a second choice, as was being purple (although I am very fond of purple). I've been multiple colours but was most often blue in the early days.
People have got used to me being dappled (and being purple) and I don't think they'd like it if I changed. As for me, I guess I'm used to it now. Very much like my real-life forename. It's just who I am.
For anyone who didn't know, I was here for a month before I returned as dappled, and I went by the name Frosties. Apologies to anyone who I misled (although I don't think I ever lied outright). Particular apologies to wigsplitz and charli.m, though. I very much liked being Frosties because it had associated imagery (a tiger) and I could have fun with that. There's little associated with dappled and I feel more boring than Frosties was. :/
Lolz I remember the Frosties jokes, and was quite disappointed when that screen name stopped logging on! Did you ever hear someone reference you as "dappled" while in your Frosties guise?
Yeah, people hinted that they knew. Only one person knew for sure, but lots of people suspected and occasionally people made comments.
It was nice to not have to give an intelligent reply all the time and just be a daft tiger running around, flicking his tail about, and saying things are Grrrreat! But slowly I started giving dappled-type answers again so I thought I may as well be dappled again.
Maybe I'll pull on the tiger suit for special occasions. :D
The hell you will. The next time you're getting inside my fur, it'll be because I've killed and eaten you. And you deserve it after the last time when you thought it'd be fun to sneak in via the back passage. :P
Hehe, yes. It was really weird when people I know (like you) said things and I had to pretend I didn't know you (because you didn't know it was me under the tiger suit). :D
I remember seeing the username Brink. It stood out to me because it's the name of my mother's first employer (Dr.Brink) once she returned to the workforce.
I searched for Brink on IIN to see if I could find any of my comments. Or, rather, anyone responding to my comments and including my name in their post. But nope, not a sausage! I must have been pretty unpopular in my first stint on IIN. Then again I probably never said anything which made sense. I only came here after getting home from the pub. :D
That means so much to me. As a matter of fact, I already am, but under a pen name, so as not to feel pressured to deliver such an impressive work. Actually, that last line right there was taken from a poem inspired by your Frosties persona. It'll be in the book when it comes out.
I like mine, but when I realized it reminded people of something else I regretted not having chosen her other name, Noor Inayat Khan. Plus, I can always go by her other war code name, Madeleine.
I happen to like mine. First time I heard it, I knew it'd be the name of something (pet, child) but turns out I ended up using it on here. How did you come up with your username Op?
Some days it suits me just fine. Other days I wonder what the hell was going on in my head when I created it. How am I not myself? What does that even mean? Where did this mask come from?
I have come to hate my user name. I am a very multi-faceted individual, and yes I like to drink sometimes, but that is such a small part of who I am. My screen name makes everyone assume that I am some douchey frat kid that does nothing but party. In reality, it has been quite some time since I even desired doing a keg stand!
I will most likely not change it though, because people will not know who I am anymore if I do!
Ha, when I first started talking to you I got the mental image of something from Spongebob. I'm not sure what exactly, as I don't watch Spongebob, but that was the vibe I got.
I love my username, I would never change it. It feels like part of my identity in a weird way, and I think changing it would be strange. Just like the colour I use, which I couldn't change because it's so bananafaceish and anything else would be weird, even if I do prefer the colour blue. Plus when I was blue, most people thought I was a guy:/
Although, I do always wonder how other people read my username.
Some times I like mine, but sometimes I feel limited by it. Almost as though I have to live up to it at the expense of saying something more meaningful.
My User name is jopf, it's actually an acroem for jealous of pregnant friends because the first post I went on I was ranting about how my ex friends all thought I owed them a living coz they were all pregnant together! I wish I'd have been more imaginative now though, but I wouldn't change it though as it'd feel weird to use another user name.
I love your username. It was one of the first ones I remembered when I was getting to know the users here. :D Always was and always will be one of my favorites!
It's alright. I was going to call myself "subchromatic" but that word already exists and I didn't want my name linked to anything else on the interwebs. + it's also sub linked to another username I have plastered on a corner of the web.
I'm ambivalent. Part of me hates my username because I picked it when I had befriended a squirrel, but some time later it tried to bite me so I don't feed or befriend squirrels anymore.
But another part of me likes this username because "squirrelly" is a synonym for being weird or crazy, which I am. I am also female. So it kind of fits I guess.
It's more important now than it was when I had it changed. Yes. I wasn't always ...Space_Ghost? And, I'm not saying who I was before. Not that anyone would remember anyway, I was pretty low profile back then. ;D
That and I'm fucking lazy :D
Wait, next week would be better. Or next month....is that a Couch over there?
.... waits in fear of being banned.
I want my bright Shackle back. :(

That's Grrreat! =P
I thought you were gone. Phew.
Hmm, it's Spring, isn't it? All the flowers blooming, romance in the air. Inside every zombie chest beats the undead heart of a poet. :D

Although I never knew you as dappled, there was so much speculation about it that at a certain point even I who didn't know you knew you were you.

I am willing to learn the meanings of your gruntings, though, if you are patient enough to teach me.
So, how were you planning burying my corpse?

But if someone else wants to change their own name... I feel they should have that right.
I will most likely not change it though, because people will not know who I am anymore if I do!
Screen names arent anything to think much about.
Although, I do always wonder how other people read my username.
I like the pretty colour though.
I'm not sure why I named myself this tho but I try not to examine my motives too much.
But another part of me likes this username because "squirrelly" is a synonym for being weird or crazy, which I am. I am also female. So it kind of fits I guess.

Hahahaha this site is full of a bunch of loser weirdos!
