Is it your go-to nom de web? Does it describe your genitals? Is your name Ian?

Have you ever changed it, or would you?

Moi:
- Hamlet is my favorite Shakespeare play
- I like that "philia" denotes affectionate regard
- I like that "feel-ya" denotes affectionate groping
- Everything else I could think of was already taken

I wouldn't go out of my way to change it, but if Laurel were to change my name to something like "Princess Sparkle Pubes" while I wasn't looking, I wouldn't be mad.
 
I'm in Minnesota, I'm a guy, so in a burst of creativity, MNGuy.
 
It was cold. I was wearing leggings, so it fit.

I should think of a witty new name, but blackleggings fits right now.

Yes.

Not exactly, but it does describe me more than my given name.

No.

No and/or no.

Princess Sparkle Pubes is the best. Now whenever I see you, I'm going to wonder how you get your pubes to sparkle.

Haha! Maybe I was an extra in a Ke$ha video. I like blackleggings, and black leggings. They're sexy and ubiquitous and unpretentious and warm.

I've always liked your user name Phelia.

I always liked your other one more. I'm not sure what that says about me. But knowing where this one comes from makes it much more interesting.

Oh, ditto. Yours is obviously dreamy, and I know it sounds silly but you always have great AVs. Not just the stunning photos of you, either. You have an awesome brain and aesthetic appreciation.

I liked both names but am really enjoying listening to the song behind this one as well. I like Tool but hadn't heard it before.
 
I think my normal one is pretty easy, but I'll talk about it if you want? You don't want me to? OK, I am going to anyway.

I became friends with two guys that owned a record store in Seattle. I ended up doing two 3 hour closing shifts a night for them, even though I had a day job. The free records and getting to meet people was reason enough.

At that time High Fidelity was out, and based on Jack Black's character, the whole being a snob about music came about, especially indie vs major.

I lived with one of the owners for a year. He was Jack Black from that movie, but a hundred times more intense. One time when someone brought in some Heart records to sell, he was in a pissy mood and he took out his baseball bat and displayed it, so he'd give the look of get the fuck out of here.

The guy was and is still a true definition of the word snob. Even if you're his friend, which he has lost most, he'll berate you even if you like the same song, but you say something about it that is different than his take. He'd go on and on about how Urge Overkill covered one of his songs, and how the guitarist from Blue Oyster Cult produced one of his 'punk records'.

So, I chose the name Indiesnob in humor, because I may be a snob about music in ways, but I don't treat people like an asshole because of their musical likes. I may poke fun, but it's just that.

So that's my long and weird story.
 
My nickname has been Wings since people stopped wanting to spell my full name. I guess Angel was too difficult as well.

Most of my online naming is a mix of Greek and Wings.


I also call my labia "wings"
 
Thank you, thank you, thank you. For the record, I like your name. I wouldn't appreciate the sparkly pube change, but Hamlet is one of my favorite Shakespeare plays as well, so please keep it. :)

Blah, I'm feeling extra n00bish tonight. I don't know what's wrong with my quoting skills.

A likely story. *narrows eyes*

You have Ø in your username. That makes it the best. It's official. I love your username; it is perfect for you.
 
Favorite comic character. I've been known to use gambit and kenshin himura as well.

Whats with all the name changes all of a sudden?
 
i blame existentialism.

and killallhippies is a shitty song.

and echo hippies really annoyed me at the time. well, they still do, but mainly because they proved me right about them.

You know who would like that story? Billy Joel. (just kidding) (not kidding)

That is a great story - thank you for telling it! Is the store still open?

I'm a man born on an island.

I'm so glad the old name is back. You're far too great a poster to fit into three measly little letters worth of username!

Mmhmm, I always love your names, and you also have consistently amazing AVs. We are so spoiled, here. So many lovely things to look at.

I also call my labia "wings"

Oh my god, marry me. This was so great that my labia burst into spontaneous applause.

I didn't think of using my junior high nickname - Ugly.

Nope, been closed for 11 years now. The massive reconstruction of the neighborhood it was in hurt business, because it was hard to find parking, and some sections of the blocks were closed off for walking on.

I'm still close friends with the other owner, because he's not an asshole.

If you're curious about hearing the punk song he recorded, or anyone else for that matter, I'll share it via PM.
