I think of people by board names, mostly. And I totally answer to meara, IRL. ;)
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

I think of people in board names, but at one point I made an effort of figure out what was what with names v. board names, and I think I was at 100% with my FB list. Though there are a couple of new FB friends now that I'm not quite sure of, board-name-wise.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
However you like! "Minus" tee is good, or just "tee".
Phew! I generally think of you as "tee," and also rhymes-with-camera when necessary.
I am not interesting enough to have a board name that is not also my non-board name.

Sure, Cowgirl.
Not interesting.

And I totally answer to -t in real life, either way. There are people who I only see in meatspace who call me that.

I joined right around a time when several super-cool Jens had sort of stopped posting (except for Jen who is a nurse, because we were lj friends, so I knew her from here). Had I known that at the time, I'd have made something up.
Well, and if I'd just been more savvy, generally. It's not like I didn't have six other Jennifers in my cohort at most times as it was.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
I think of people by board names, to the point that I have a number of Facebook friends whose online identities I'm not quite sure of aside from being buffistas.
My own online identity has been the same since 1997, and I am very glad I used my actual name on a whim when choosing a Bronze username.

I can never think of names that feel right, so I am generally me or some slight variation.
Board names and real names see to run on a sort of parallel, concurrent track in my head, and I sometimes have to pause to determine which comes out.

Because books.
My first board name (not here) was "seniorslayer," which I realized too late made me sound like I was in my dotage. I've gone with variations on my real name since.
-t, I remember ita wondering if your name translating to "negativi-tee" and laughing. It had never occurred to me.
