You should totally use it as a character last name!
Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

Plei, see the SPN thread. Fandoms collide.

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.

How are y'all doing, Amy?

Sara and I are settled with a friend of my mom's (she's awesome, and another teacher at the Friends School here). It's weird, because I don't know her very well at all, but she's lovely and has three cats (Charlie, Iris, and June) and we have our own rooms and bathroom. It's going to be a good place to regroup.
Ben is with his best friend here in town (another awesome family) and Stephen and Jake are, unfortunately, back in Fulton for the time being. I'm looking for a job and looking into some other counseling-shaped things and starting to think about the future, which is, frankly, terrifying right now. Big changes. Not sure which might be for the best, unexpectedly. Thank you for asking!

(OTOH, I actually friended shrift on FB because she had a pink gingham avatar, but had no idea at all who she was and finally had to ask Hec who the hell I'd friended. However, it's an established fact that shrift's birth name is in no way her real name except by accident of birth and legal identity, and that for all actual purposes of selfhood she is shrift.)
Ha ha, yeah. Even Dana calls me shrift. (If anyone can't make the connection, the most recent picture I posted was of beer.) I answer to both, although when I'm with fannish people, I answer more readily to shrift.
I tend to associate people with whatever name I first know them by (kind of like the first role I saw an actor in), so it's a mix of real names and fannish names.
