Because I like the mystique? I don't want to know what you're all called - in my head you all have birth certificates with things like "DragonButter" on. And I like it! It's exotic and glam and I want it to STAY THAT WAY!

I am indeed Unknown.

MaureenMLove · 13/08/2008 20:49

I didn't think that Maureen was particularly exotic or glam, but thanks anyway!

I know a few rl names but tbh, it just confuses the hell out of me, when they e-mail me!

RhinestoneCowgirl · 13/08/2008 20:49

oh agree Habbibu - in fact I have met up with MNers in RL and still think of them as their screen-names.

Add to that my RL name is fairly unusual, alright to out yourself if you're a Sarah or a Jane...

Overmydeadbody · 13/08/2008 20:49

I agree Habbibu.

StealthPolarBear · 13/08/2008 20:51

I know what you mean (although I am on that thread, my first name is Stealth).
I have a mental image of people in my mind, when I see a photo it tends to ruin it a bit (no matter how good looking they are!) My mind is not very imaginative and a bit stereotypical, so e.g., I have a vague blurry image of someone, based on their MN name. I learn they are tall, my mind grows them to 6ft. I learn they are Scottish, my mind adds red hair and a tartan beret

Habbibu · 13/08/2008 20:51

No! You are MaureenMLove, pronounced Mo'Reenum'luv. NOT MAUREEN!

Habbi

I am not a boy

Or a dog

I am keeping my mystique, too

{hijack - went to the Leisure Pool at Leven last week and thought of you - random, eh?}

Habbibu · 13/08/2008 20:52

Go on then, Stealth, "describe" me...

OP posts:
Habbibu · 13/08/2008 20:53

v.random, boys, as I've never been to Leven. But oddly touching, nonetheless.

When I read 'SlartyBartFast' it gets stuck in my head and for the rest of the day I walk around muttering 'slartybartfast slartybartfast'.

It doesn't happen with any other name.

Weird huh?

StealthPolarBear · 13/08/2008 20:56

Not much to tell I'm afraid - you're wearing a bib.
Told you my mind's not very imaginative!

you look a bit like the janitor out of scrubs, but a bit more...mild and cowering. You hold a mop.
See! Really not good!

Habbibu · 13/08/2008 20:58

mmj - don't bother. Apparently I'm a big grown -up baby like those men in weird fetish clubs. Am I wearing a nappy too, Stealth?

OP posts:
WideWebWitch · 13/08/2008 20:59

link please

StealthPolarBear · 13/08/2008 20:59

Whenever I see sheepgomeep the name makes me smile and I remember it for the rest of the day too!

OracleInaCoracle · 13/08/2008 20:59

there are some mners that i always think of by their rl names and some that i "know" just as well who i always think of as their mn names. lilred is known in the lissie house by her rl name whereas lulu will always be lulumama

StealthPolarBear · 13/08/2008 21:00

Sorry Habbibu it's not me it's my mind. No, no nappy, it's all very blurry outside the bib area.
What does your name mean, btw? That will probably change my image!

Habbibu · 13/08/2008 21:01

Is this what you wanted, www?
