If you have a unique screen name...
...what does it mean? I'm especially interested in "lilcrablegs" and "funky pineapple"!
Mine is boring and obvious. I just never changed it after the Knot.
Re: If you have a unique screen name...
I first used starsmaycollide elsewhere-it's a reference to my favorite movie, Moulin Rouge. In the song Come What May, Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor sing 'storm clouds may gather and stars may collide...but I'll love you, until the end of time"
<---- And they are in my pic
I'm a Jessica Marie too!
I played alto sax in middle and highschool and its been my email since I first had an email address.

aubie96 - Aubie is the Auburn mascot and 96 is the year I graduated from undergrad.
Its my email address so I just used that and the first email account I had and haven't changed it since ALL those years ago when everyone first signed up for a free yahoo account.
i used to get bored with my AIM screen names and the most recent one i made (which was at least 4 years ago) was funkypineapple that i came up with while watching Ghost World (which is one of my fave movies).
It's a combination of 2 scenes. 1 is when the 2 main characters (enid and becky) are at a post grad. party and a former classmate walks up and enid picks up a pineapple and stares at that classmates hair since it resembles the pineapple.
scene 2 enid and becky are in a diner and another annoying classmate comes in and she's all excited about her acting or whatever and she does this little hand gesture and says "funk-ay" and when she walks away they imitate her.
those were 2 of my favorite parts just because of the sarcasm and so i threw them together and voila.
Blog!
my real name is Jennifer (go by Jenny) and my mom hates it. It was a compromise with my dad. So ages ago she decided she like Guinevere better than Jennifer so as a nickname she calls me Guin or Gwinny. the rest of my family and dh picked up on it. Since I have always gone by Jenny most people do not realize that my real name is Jennifer.
I was born in 82...very original *please note sarcasam*!
Mine's not that unique but I like these kinds of posts.
I picked Belle for a few reasons---love the name, love Disney princesses (yes, I'm a big kid) & my college boyfriend called me "Southern Belle" all the time... so being conceited as I am, I went with it.
204 is my birthday--April 2--backwards. Creative I know.
When I first started working as a nurse.....I wore pink scrubs all the time. Its my fav color....so I am guilty as charged...lol! Well....we have this doc that kept calling me "pink lady" because of my obvious color choice in scrubs....and I was new so he did not know my name! I kinda liked it so I used it as my name on match.com.....and that is what my hubby first knew me as.......PinkLadyRN
He still calls me that from time to time
i don't think mine is so unique either, but i will answer anyway.
my name is tiffany, and when my sis and i were little, she couldnt pronounce my name, so she would call me tippy. i have no clue why i felt the need to add "kins" to it. must have been the mood i was in when i created the name many moons ago when i first joined the nest.
