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.

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.
