[TheHumblePotato]

Not necessarily an aibu but it's Sunday, ergo fun day...

Over the years I've had many NNs which either described the situation I was in or a favourite quote from a book or film.

What's yours? And who has the best NN? (Hopes FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse turns up). My current NN came from a very trivial discussion I had with my friend over what I was making her for dinner and she said "You're making potatoes! Just fucking potatoes!?" And I replied with "Well yes, please appreciate the humble potato."

Does what it says on the tin: I entered several different cool or witty (honest) names, and kept getting told that they were already in use.

run I sing that in my head every time I spot your name!

I'm actually quite pleased now (I am a fan of maiden)

I was sitting looking at my shelf, on which is an orange vase - and I liked it.

Have name changed several times and names have been inspired by:

a line from a favourite poem
a feature opposite my house
a translation of my surname in to a foreign language

Missed my middle two names as posted quite a lot but would have been recognizable if someone had done a bit of clever searching and I had reasons not to want to be.

Mine is from my posh friend's way of expressing shock or disbelief.

Joyful - it really is a fabulously evocative name. Puddles should be joyful. I remember a spectacular storm when I was at uni and my housemates and I went out and jumped in puddles I

I was originally CelibacyCakeAndElevatorMuzac..

My take on Sex,.Drugs and Rock n Roll.

I felt it reflected my being very well.

Then I changed to ..FuckThePO after.a MN to-do (I have no idea what over, there was an awful lot of angst involved though)

I NC quite often worried I give too much away
GBBO had just finished and blue is ALWAYS in my NN. Favourite colour. ??

Was deep in the throes of severe morning sickness when I registered with MN.

Seemed apt

I was reading a thread about going to the gym while drinking a G&T. And I have pet house rabbits.

Nothing fancy about my name. I just happened to be reading Heinlein's 'The Cat who walked through walls', the cat of course being Pixel. Wish I'd known the poor thing was going to meet a tragic end though!

I may have a teeny tiny crush on The Flash from the new tv show.

Anyone who grew up with Monica Edwards books will know who Tamzin Grey is.

I've got my mum's 1957 hardback copy of Wish for a Pony (this one) from when she was little. It was always one of my favourites .

Because thanks to a chronic lung disease I am...

I think the most exciting I got was my Xmas username 'toomerrytoobreathless' that took me about 3 days to think up!

"Corporation Pop" or "Council Pop" is another name for tap water oop North

Kerberos /?k?rb?r?s/ is a computer network authentication protocol which works on the basis of 'tickets' to allow nodes communicating over a non-secure network to prove their identity to one another in a secure manner.

It's also a word I find nice to say which is why it's my MN username. It comes up at work.

Apparently it's also an alternative spelling to Cerberus.

From 'Nevermind' by Nirvana.

I started off as EmpressOfTheSevenOceans, one of my favourite books, then was Empress of various other things, & became EmpressOfJurisfiction in a nod to the fantastic Thursday Next series by Jasper Fforde.

Nc recently as the previous one would have outted me and was a bit boring tbh.
This is a stereophonics song.

I've just had a Christmas themed party for my birthday...tree and all. Enough said.

Mine is Chalet School inspired. It's how I imagine the school secretary must cope with the timetabling challenges and plotholes. It's the name I post anything identifiable with, as I don't mind being outed as a lover of school stories as it's hardly a secret in RL .
