Re: GTKY: The story behind your screen names

  Only the most boring screen name ever, but I was anxious to start posting and couldn't come up with anything better at the time: I became a mom in 2013. I got a bit better with my avatar, though - DS was born on Groundhog Day, so it's a groundhog.

  My screen name on the knot was kind of a random jumble of letters and numbers. It was supposed to be a literary reference, but apparently to a lot of people it looked like "party to the hizzo." So everyone started calling me Hizz. When they kicked us all over to the nest I changed my name to that.

  DH and my first trip together was to see the cherry blossoms in DC. Cherryblossoms was already taken so I added a number to it (the year I created my account, I think).

  I created my account without knowing about the forums, let alone how involved I'd get with them, and had I known I would have come up with something much more creative, haha.

  I love Rocky Horror Picture Show. I was even part of a live troop for a bit, though I never got to perform with them. I'm actually planning on auditioning for a local one soon. So anyways, Magenta is my favorite character from the movie and warped is for the Time Warp.

  I pretty much think the 1980s rock. No, that is not sarcasm. Movies, music, you name it. I still want to be Elisabeth Shue in Adventures in Babysitting. I may or may not have that camel coat still.

  Yes I figured you just love the 80's. They were pretty awesome. Secretly I would love to dress like Cyndi Lauper most days of the week while doing the running man. Or is that early 90's? IDK, but I did it the other night in my kitchen. The kids laughed, DH shook his head.

  long time lurker who joined when another poster was outed as a fraud. a lying liar who lies if you will. hot damn the name was available so i took it. i was questioned relentlessly, which was hilarious to me that someone would actually think that anyone would be so dumb to be an AE and call themselves a liar in their name. i feel the love when anyone calls me LLL .
  
  ETA my name waaaaaay back when i joined TK was "carolinagirlnumbers" or something similar, back in '03.
