GTKY: Username and Avatar

Re: GTKY: Username and Avatar

  • Mine is my dog's first and middle name, Purple Pumpernickel. The avatar is her photo as a puppy (why can't they stay that tiny?!)
  • My nickname and my birthday. Not very original. No avatar because I can't figure out how to get one!

  • The inspiration for my username is super dorky. Clio is the Greek muse of history and I'm a history professor. Avatar is a picture of our fam from a while ago.
  • @kat0607 I love the aristocats!  I taught piano lessons for a long time and I'd always sing the "scales and arpeggios" song for my students, haha.

  • @chiquita928 I love this! I meant to start this a while ago and completely forgot. So much fun.

    My SN is from one of my favorite running shirts - I liked the saying run, rest, repeat! Ironically, my avatar is a photo I took last year while we were on a bike ride across our state so it has nothing to do with running. Oops.

  • Mine is something I came up with because I love to sing (as a hobby) and live in the city. Super creative! Lol. My avatar is this huge street art piece a few blocks from my apt of a woman that says "City of Dreams". I loved it and thought it was fitting. :)

  • @yellow1daisy I am a chemist as well! What type of work do (did) you do?

    Mine is from when I joined the bump a long time ago.  I am from Georgia and I was getting married.  The 6912 was the day of our wedding/ the day of our anniversary.  June 9, 2012

  • Eliza is my middle name. The "oh" in front of it is a reference to a line in traditional New Orleans song "Little Liza Jane." 44 is my lucky number. :)

    @GeorgiaWife6912 in grad school I was mostly into analytical chemistry but I dabbled a bit in medicinal chemistry. Did my thesis on gold compounds in treating rheumatoid arthritis.
    Ended up working in QA at a company I don't want to say too much about and give myself away. But I mostly did paperwork and HATED IT. The company was working to find me a position in research and development to get me in a lab since they didn't want me to go but I just decided to put my career on hold indefinitely (my husband makes more than enough so working would have been for fulfillment if I needed it but I was so unhappy at the time I just said eff it).  How about you?

  • Oh I'm boring ladies! My SN is parts of my name and my avatar is a picture from dd first birthday/cake smash. 
  • My SN is the name of an old D&D character.  The first forum I joined was an RPG forum, and I've just taken the handle with me to other boards.  If you didn't know already, I'm a giant nerd.

    My avatar is the concept design I had for the tattoo I got in memory of my daughter.  The real tattoo is pretty similar, but has a black border at the recommendation of the artist.

  • @yellow1daisy You sound like my husband. If we're watching a show, he always points out if something is wrong, or doesn't work that way, or there is a plot hole. It both adds and detracts from the experience, but the longer I'm married to him the more I find it cute and funny and endearing rather than annoying.

    Lol @CarsonsMommy can't say I know how to make meth! Never looked into it haha. But the body dissolving definitely sticks in my mind as one of those 'uh...absolutely not' moments. 

    Had to edit because bump ate half of it.

  • @yellow1daisy my background is in analytical chemistry as well. I currently work in a plant doing water chemistry and purification (large scale). I hate it but my husband lived in this area when we got married and it was all I could find.

  • I'm sorry you hate it @GeorgiaWife6912 I know from experience working a job you don't enjoy sucks donkey balls. I hope you can make a change at some point.

  • @yellow1daisy TV shows and movies try to get away with so much when you really know a subject!  My mom was a L&D nurse and she always scoffs at the size of babies they show because they're always showing 2-5 month old babies as newborns.  Now I can't help but notice it ALL the time.  I love Call the Midwife and they almost always have giant "newborn" babies.  *sigh*

  • @maybeitsmadeline I notice it too, but I think I would judge a show that used actual newborns a lot harder.  At least on CTM they muck them up a bit so they look more like newborns.  I always laugh at the shows where babies are born freshly bathed.

    @Xath Yes! That too! I definitely agree.  Newborns don't need to be dealing with that.  :D Yes!  They are born with a little blood and goop on them usually in CTM.  Sometimes they're really clean with hardly any vernix at all on the show and it makes me laugh, but they do a pretty good job and I still love it!
