to over think people's user names?

I normally just read posters comments, but I have become very drawn to people's user names. I won't single any out as that is probably inappropriate, but a lot of usernames are creating a real imagination and back story in my head (all good and positive and some a rude lol).

Does anyone else pay any attention to this or am I going through an odd phase?

BTW I enjoy KP snacks :)

swarmofcats- I see someone busy and always multi tasking. Likes their own company but is very sociable when needs to be. You are working on being more organised

lemurville - I see small animals, and towns. buildings and business. Do you go shopping a lot? Do you like pets?

VforVienetta - glory, ice cream, wavy lines. Do you see things clearly or are you confused? I think a bit confused :) You are a nice person with a good heart

@SaltyPeanut - I've always refused to add numbers after a username if I can't get the one I want so it's led to some interesting names in different places. It was a nightmare on Hotmail back in the day. Grin

@Saltypeanuts you got it spot on. Really! 👏🏻

Magical, organised at times, wants more from life

i love that answer. i feel like a fraud - it was on an advert on the right of my screen when i signed up! i had been on a gift website earlier and they were advertising "sock unicorns". i presume sewing kits made from socks.

@SaltyPeanut I love your back story ♥️♥️♥️

@Saltypeanuts what is your back story?

I also change my username frequently.

There are a few cheeky fuckers on MN I think 😆

I also now really want some salty peanuts.

Hi Bellendejour - I've suddenly started to think my thoughts in a French Accent and keep seeing a large penis. I must stop looking at Le Bellendejour!

Thanks- mine was scarily accurate! Now if you can do the same with the winning lottery numbers!

VforVienetta · 08/10/2018 20:40

Ooh saltypeanuts thank you! Smile
Yup, mostly a bit befuddled, with moments of extreme clarity, usually when i’m annoyed!
Not an ice cream lover, but cream in general, hell yes...

So.... those lottery numbers.... Wink

I think my user name is probably pretty self-explanatory.

I was in prison for pseudologia fantastica and mythomania and 44 was my cell number.

CheekyFucker · 08/10/2018 22:08

@Careofcell44 You are my new hero.

Jamiefraserskilt · 08/10/2018 22:09

Like to hear what you think mine means....

PlatypusPie · 08/10/2018 22:13

I can assure everyone that I have never had any culinary experiments with a cute looking but venomous Australian mammal. I like a bit of alliteration.

saltypeanuts · 08/10/2018 22:18

Jamiefraserskilt - I see shopping and smart clothes, someone who likes to impress and also be impressed. Neat and tidy
