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.

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 trundle along, uncovered and uncaring.

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.

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.

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.

Guilty. I usually used to know, but it's also usually people who don't post here anymore, and I just forgot their board name.

My Facebook name is the same as here, except with my actual legal last name instead of Paul's. Did I ever mention that using it was an accident? I signed up on WX, expecting that there would be a preferred name after entering the real name, but nope. Just the real name.

I hadn't realized at the time quite how uncommon a name is Marcontell. Fewer than a thousand of them. So, really, not as sneaky as I'd thought. But the people I wanted to not find me on the Internets did anyway because we still had friends in common, so if I ever remember or reset my FB password, I'll probably change my FB name to my full first name, middle initial, and last name.

Half of you call me Plei, anyhow. Which I'm fine with, FTR.
