I tend to think of people by their board names. I'm crap at remembering names to start with, so adding in that double layer just means double the fun of calling someone by the wrong name.

I've considered changing my board name a few times, but at this point, I've answered to Sail in person for long enough among Buffistas that I feel it's more my identity than Ellen is.

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

I remember ita wondering if your name translating to "negativi-tee" and laughing.

Oh, yeah! I remember wishing I was that clever.

Because books.

It's funny, because I think of some people as their real names, and some as their board names only. Sail, you've always been "Sail" to me.

I hadn't realized at the time quite how uncommon a name is Marcontell.

Does that mean I shouldn't use it as a character last name? Because it's a great name.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

You should totally use it as a character last name!

Plei, see the SPN thread. Fandoms collide.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

My first board name (not here) was "seniorslayer," which I realized too late made me sound like I was in my dotage.

It makes me think you're a creepy serial killer who is so slow you can only sneak up on very very old people.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

When I first started with the Internets, no one told me not to use my real name, so I've used it a lot of places. Joining this board where I didn't know anybody, I figured it was my opportunity to actually have a screen name.

Because books.

And now you see why I stopped using it.
