I’m a regular name changer, this week it’s my favourite doggy star of Twitter that’s inspired me.

sometimes I do book characters, or a play on words in a movie title.

occasionally my dinner inspires me.

What about you? I miss some of my old names, but I value my anonymity more.

I enjoy Fawlty Towers and wearing coats made from Dalmatian puppies.

I'd like to be as stoic.
I've always got a battle on my hands and never go down without a fight but think I demonstrate compassion in the process!

billydilly · 22/02/2023 16:47

From Stagger Lee by Nick Cave. The greatest song of all time.

Goodread1 · 22/02/2023 16:51

I changed my username out of necessity really,

So got this one as alternative instead,

I intend to read 📚 a lot more books I have brought from second hand books shop oxfarm

Used to be proper book worm one life, but life stuff ect has easily distracted me in pulled me in different directions unexpected ones too

I am trying to sort myself out now and not let my turbulent past /childhood , define who I am and rest of my life really...

SwordToFlamethrower · 22/02/2023 16:51

She-ra's sword can turn into anything. Sword to shield, sword to lasso. Made me laugh because she never uses her sword as a sword.

My rabid feminist self would choose sword to flamethrower and let all hell break loose.

threeplusmum · 22/02/2023 16:52

I am a mum of three DD's

Goodread1 · 22/02/2023 16:52

Used to be a proper book worm 🪱 one time. Just got out of practice

That's one of my new year goals still

It's what DD called a hummingbird when she was a toddler. I didn't want to forget..

Battlecat98 · 22/02/2023 17:09

My love of cats and of course he-man, finished with a special date.

onionringcheeseypuff · 22/02/2023 17:09

I was eating crisps. I have no imagination but a big snack belly.

JoyDivisionOvenGlovesx · 22/02/2023 15:26

A song from the finest (and funniest) band that ever did grace this land.

I've got some Joy Division Oven Gloves! Grin

Mine is from a My Chemical Romance song. Someone said killjoys on a thread which made me think of it and I changed my name.

I was sat under an oak beam.
