I suspect we all spend a fair bit of time wondering about one another's handles. Does ilovesooty live in a house full of Sooty puppets? How deep is her love? Etc

My current username is a song lyric.

Mine's a feminised version of character from the Bible, Bezalel. He designed the tabernacle, and I have this vision of him as a fabulous interior designer wafting around the desert with jewels and curtain material.

It's rather sweary Grin and means the middle of nowhere/back of beyond. Which is where I feel I am sometimes, not waving but drowning.

*The Fifth Cunt, for anyone not an fait with Spanish.

I usually just look up from where I'm sitting and what ever's in front of me I use. This username was two of my daughters books that were sitting next to me 🤦🏻‍♀️ I've been mugoftea. Snakesandladders. Rollerblind 😂 I'm not very imaginative with my usernames.

My devotion to the lovely Ben Willbond (Horrible Histories, Bill, Ghosts, Yonderland tons of other stuff).

Game of Thrones and also that I have to pretend that I have a cold hard heart in order to protect myself from people that take advantage of me. It can still easily be shattered into a million pieces though.

Dec2019mumtobe · 10/06/2019 12:16

JennaOfEluria · 10/06/2019 12:18

This is a fairly new nickname stolen from a book. Jenna is the least evil person in an evil occupation.

Just felt apt at the moment.

One of Count Olaf’s aliases in A Series of Unfortunate Events. The scene where he comes up with it made me chuckle.
