[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

1. haruka3_2000

Then MrsG dared me to change it. She still owes me four bottles of Jameson.

[JitterbugPerfume]

5. pay up MrsG!

Haruka needs the reinforcment!

[JitterbugPerfume]

69. by the way--

where IS MrsGrumpy?

[Aristus]

2. Still the same, as Bob Segar might say.

I remember you from the very beginning, Jitterbug. Don't change your user name; I like it. :-)

[JitterbugPerfume]

7. thanks Aristus

I remember you too:hi:

6. turtlensue n/t

[JitterbugPerfume]

12. what is the story behind

turtlensue? I really like your science-y no nonsence approach to da woo!

[TZ]

23. Turtle was my old kitty

She passed away a couple of years ago but I had a lot of screennames with her in it. I'm Sue and I live by myself..so turtlensue was my household for many years...

[JitterbugPerfume]

28. I live alone to

so I could be midgentansynlilithnmandu . My kittys drive me crazy sometimes but I can't imagine being without the little furballs

[deucemagnet]

10. I was giant_robot

The one with the head of the guy below as his avatar. (Not to be confused with Giant Robot, who came later, and still posts occasionally.)

[JitterbugPerfume]

16. no fair when people change someones username slightly and claims it

[deucemagnet]

26. I think it was just coincidence.

He's PM'd me before, and he's a really nice guy. I was already deucemagnet on most of the poker sites that I play on or post on anyway, so I thought I'd change my DU username (DUsername?) and make it official. :)

[JitterbugPerfume]

29. I guess in such a large community

it is bound to happen

[TreasonousBastard]

11. Big Dick Magee, but that only lasted about 5 minutes.

[JitterbugPerfume]

18. you will always be

TreasonousBastard to me:hi:

[BeachBaby]

13. JerseyGirlDem.

I changed it, because I was getting tired of the mafia references. :7

[TZ]

15. Now you only get the references in real life

BA-DA-BING BABEE!! :rofl:

[BeachBaby]

21. You don't wanna mess with me. I know people.

:rofl:

[JitterbugPerfume]

25. ~~~~

:scared:

:rofl:

[JitterbugPerfume]

19. So THAT's where she went!

[BeachBaby]

24. Oh, yay!!!

:hi:

[Lucian]

14. It's a secret.

I was "Tilion" before this, and before that I was...

Well, some people know. Most don't.

[JitterbugPerfume]

20. okee dokey!

It is nobodys business

[mainegreen]

17. Pfktrkz-221;"!1f %% #$#$kj...asjkk@ !oopO666p^2

But people had a hard time typing that so I changed it to something simpler.


:7

[JitterbugPerfume]

22. Good move!

[kwassa]

27. It used to be kwassa.

[JitterbugPerfume]

31. I like the new one

:rofl:

[Midlodemocrat]

30. Anastasia Beaverhausen

[JitterbugPerfume]

32. but you will always be

Midlo to US!:fistbump:

[Midlodemocrat]

34. Yup.

And, I'm just kidding about the Anastasia Beaverhausen part. I just like to say it.

:rofl:

Always been Midlodemocrat. When I signed up, all the good names were taken.

[JitterbugPerfume]

57. that IS kinda fun to say!

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

33. XionCG

Oblique reference to a character I wrote about in a story once.
Then I forgot about that one and became "DemXCGI" Bleech.

At least this one's a bit more recognizable.

[redqueen]

37. I like this one for the BB reference.

:D

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

39. It took me a while to admit it, but..

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension is one of my favorite movies.

Maybe it's just 'cause it's got Peter Weller, Clancy Brown, Jeff Goldblum, Ellen Barkin, John Lithgow, and Christopher Lloyd in it. Holy crap there's a lot of people in that movie. If it was made 10 years later, it would have been a very expensive movie to make just based on the cast.

[redqueen]

41. Why?

That movie is awesome!

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

43. 'cause nobody else I knew liked it, and back then I wanted to fit in more than be myself.

Now I use it everywhere.

[fizzgig]

35. kagehime

but i like my new one better. plus, when someone asks me wtf that is in my sig, i can tell them it's me :D

[ThomCat]

36. TKulesa

LionessPriyanka renamed me ThomCat after I'd been here a couple of years. :)

Nobody but her ever noticed me or responded when I was using my first initial and last name anyway. When I changed my name suddenly I got responses! It was really weird.
:P

[redqueen]

38. Hmmm I could swear I remember talking to you as TKulesa...

I know I remember reading your posts at least. :hi:

[ThomCat]

40. That's very likely.

You have always been a sweetheart, and you used to post a lot more. :hug:

I'm exaggerating when I say nobody noticed my posts. But it took me 4 years to reach 1000 posts because I got so few responses and spoke to so few people. :P

Once I changed my name I reached 2000 in a matter of months. :)

[redqueen]

42. I remember when you changed it.

And yeah... having la lioness introduce you as ThomCat... that maybe possibly sorta kinda helped raise your visibility just a smidge. :P


And awwww... :blush: thank you... :hug:

[Shell Beau]

44. Have always been and will always be Shell Beau.

[JitterbugPerfume]

47. Shell Beau

and Bella ---:loveya:

[Shell Beau]

48. Bella Beau!!

:loveya:

[Systematic Chaos]

45. I've changed twice.

Started out progrocker69 but I started not liking the sexual connotation of the "69" part even though it's really a reference to my birth year.

In 2004 I changed it when I was given a chance to Gentle Giant, after my favorite prog rock band - and also because I'm a huge guy with a gentle disposition... most of the time. However, a few people here have pushed me over the line at times, causing me to post things which people came back with stuff like "Why do you call yourself the Gentle Giant when that was so mean... blah, blah, blah".

I got tired of hearing THAT once every month or so, so now I'm Systematic Chaos. Great album by a great band, and it also nicely sums up my state of mind most of the time. :P

[JitterbugPerfume]

46. I remember you

Gentle Giant, and you were NEVER mean!

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

Do not mess with perfection!

[Dr. Strange]

60. temeah

But then I found out there was already a temeah, so I became the New temeah. Then temeah disappeared, and I thought about taking the name, but I decided, what's the point? So I became DuStrange.

[JitterbugPerfume]

61. and a Strange Dr

you are!

[Arugula Latte]

62. Oregonian.

Boooooring name. :boring:

I didn't really think about it before I signed up at DU. I never knew I'd hang out here for years and years ... :crazy:

[JitterbugPerfume]

65. I remember you!

but I didn't know it was you:dilemma:

[Arugula Latte]

66. Yay!

Thanks. :hi:

I'm kind of an under-the-radar non-entity type of DUer. :)

[Lyric]

64. oktoberain

I tried to change it to "Oktoberain" (with a capitalized "O") during the name-change amnesty, but it wouldn't work. So I just decided to go with something totally new.

:hi:

[JitterbugPerfume]

68. I really liked oktoberain

but Lyric fits you too!:hi:
