Not that I think anything of myself at all! Honest.

But I've noticed a distinct difference in replies with this new name!

WHY?

I'm still me?

I'm still a twat!

Confused Grin

Harry Potter references bring with them certain assumptions...

Yes I got that with a name change!

mrsdonkeybucket · 09/07/2011 23:14

I have no idea what your old name was.

But when I see 'Sirius' I go all gooey.

I don't know why.

Would you and I 'know' one another if I knew your old name ?

DoNotTakeMeSiriusly · 09/07/2011 23:14

Not at all! not at all! I am probably the least harry potterish of the lot. lies through her teeth Grin

Probably not donkeybucket. I'm terrible at names and expect others to be the same. usual name is shown if you hover over the username!

I haven't noticed you've been treated differently Smile

DoNotTakeMeSiriusly · 09/07/2011 23:17

and you go all gooey because he is just terribly ooh-er. Not in the films. I love Gary oldman and all that blah blah but could of done with someone a bit more shaggable. IMO.

DoNotTakeMeSiriusly · 09/07/2011 23:17

Maybe it's cos I'm more stressed!

mrsdonkeybucket · 09/07/2011 23:21

I have 'seen you around', DNTMS, aka, ABF ! Grin

Don't think we have conversed before though ?

I go all gooey because of the image I had in my head of him from the books. A strong, manly man, type thing. Gary Oldman not shaggable to me because I always remember that EE 'Big Mo' is his sister and it puts me off ! And he looks a bit ('scuse the pun) 'weasley'.

DoNotTakeMeSiriusly · 09/07/2011 23:23

Ha! weasley!

Scuse me i'm drunkand find silly things rather amusing...

I'm still trying to find my perfect sirius.

When did that happen??? Why does it say your other name? What happens if I need to namechange to ask a question about pirate sex?

FoofusScrimgeour · 09/07/2011 23:28

Earlier today Trillian said "I agree with Foofus" . Since normally everyone says "Iagree with Trillian" I was a tiny bit thrilled.

No one has EVER and I mean EVER said " I agree ....... (staying incognito)" before. Sooo yanbu

or Yabu I can't remember the Question

mrsdonkeybucket · 09/07/2011 23:28

Ah. I have mine. But he looks nothing like the image in my head !

Looks do help, don't they ? And fantasies. Wink

DoNotTakeMeSiriusly · 09/07/2011 23:36

LOL foofus, I remember your original name!

It only says my original name becaus eI typed it into my status narkypuffin.

OP posts:
mrsdonkeybucket · 09/07/2011 23:38

It says foofus' original name too. With 'in HP disguise' after it.

FoofusScrimgeour · 09/07/2011 23:38

Really? Grin
well I shall take ht as a compliment and not because it's soddinfg obvious.

FoofusScrimgeour · 09/07/2011 23:39

Hahahahahahahaha shit yeah I forgot Grin

2shoes · 09/07/2011 23:41

yanbu, I have just gone back to my original one as I felt too new and was confusing myself

mrsdonkeybucket · 09/07/2011 23:43

I assumed you had done that, foofus ? Grin

EggyAllenPoe · 09/07/2011 23:46

i am more of a 'severus' girl, personally. it was something about the evil that i like.

i asked Dh to name DD2 Bellatrix (for real) he wasn't having it though.

but

VforViennetta · 09/07/2011 23:46

Yanbu, I namechange all the time, but have noticed that certain names provoke more ire it seems, I had one where I was flamed and noticed constantly, I changed Grin. It's odd because I barely even look at names, apart from when you know exactly who it is before bothering glancing up.

oldsilver · 09/07/2011 23:47

Tis funny everytime I see your new name I automatically see you as your old name ... perhaps too used to fun namechanging meself of a weekend, cause you are you being you arn't you [hgrin]

EvenLessNarkyPuffin · 09/07/2011 23:48

Excellent. Have a [hgrin] on me.
