I think of people by board names, mostly. And I totally answer to meara, IRL. ;)

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
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.
