I participate in an online forum all about Disney called the DisBoards. Not understanding the creativity that could be involved in my forum username, I actually used a name that was based on my REAL name. You can't change your username there UNLESS you have done something like what I did, using your real name instead of a pseudonym. When I requested the change, I had the hardest time coming up with an available name there...so I ended up being TxRabbit.
Not because I eat so many veggies.
Even though I do.
The name was more of an inspiration based on the character in Pooh's tales called Rabbit. The bossy, want-to-be-organized and yet, forever dealing with disasters character seemed a pretty good match for myself at the time.
And THEN, inspiration hit. In the form of imitation.
My family used to play an online mass player computer game. You could submit a custom name for your character for approval. One of my friends was named "Anita Mocha." I introduced myself to her just because I was so impressed with her name. I thought to myself...if EVER I have the opportunity to create another pseudonym, I will call myself Anita Latte.
Because I love me some Cinnamon Dolce Lattes.
Nonfat.
Light Whip. When I'm feeling indulgent. No whip when I'm not.
And so, when I joined the CruiseCritic forum, I named myself Anita Latte.
And now, I'm quite attached to this name.
I feel an affinity for anyone that is actually named Anita in real life.
I don't care if your user name here is your real name, or another name that you happen to love for whatever reason...but IF your user name here differs from what I have come to know you as over in one of the forums where I spend WAY too much time...please comment here to reintroduce yourself.
And even if you have never introduced yourself to me anywhere else, please introduce yourself here so that we all can know who all is along for this ride.
Tomorrow, we will talk about more details as to what this ride is really all about.
