dappled

11 years ago

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

      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.

        Will it be in English or Gorillaese? Unfortunately, I am only fluent in one and translation is - at best - an echo.
        
        I am willing to learn the meanings of your gruntings, though, if you are patient enough to teach me.

    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

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.

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 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.

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!

  Me too. I've said more than once that yours is my favourite username on IIN. In two years, nobody has arrived with one I like more.

  I actually thought of you today. I saw a number plate on a car today and it read: 1DUZ-458 :)

      I was actually considering ripping off on your name -and several others- when I changed my sn.
      
      So, how were you planning burying my corpse?

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?

  I don't even know. I think it's a random jumble of letters and numbers, I was just in a hurry to make an account.

    Oh my! Was there a particular reason you were in such a hurry? Story caught your interest that you just couldn't wait to comment on?

      Perhaps... or maybe I was just very impatient at the time. *shrugs* Either way, I've learned to take my time in choosing names.
