Board names...it's probably been asked many time before

Justme is a good description. I have always been just me, I have never followed the crowd, never wanted to be anyone else. I have never had heroes or heroines. I know I am far from perfect, but if I changed I wouldn't be just me!
 
I shortened my name, I am now, Vixen. You can call me Vix, for short..btw, I don''t feel its a lie to use an alias, on the wide world of the web. I've learned some lessons the hard way, by letting some know my real name. It was not pleasant. Not to say, I don't have friends that know it, but am more careful now.
 
I just picked a name that is part of a joke between me and my Hubby. I also kind of like the fact that if I didn't use my real name I wouldn't have to be concerned about privacy on the internet.
 
I just always thought we were supposed to pick usernames, not our own. I don't feel it's a lie not to use your own name either. I think that the internet can be a scarey place, and nothing wrong with being careful, or just having fun. Someone I like very much, hasn't been around that I know of, has the coolest username, That Guy. Miss you buddy if you are out there.

I also think it's great to see a pic of someone, and their name. But then again, to each his own. I have grown attached to many of the avatars, and they are fun too because you can get an idea of what someone is like;)

PS I once saw a username "fakename" loved it, LOL!!
 
When I was little, my father used to take us to a small bungalow near the beach, and he stayed in the city working, just seeing us on the weekends. He bought a small used wooden sailboat (minus the sails) and used it to take us out fishing, he always said that it was broad in the beam and very seaworthy. He named the boat SeaBreeze, and I used the name to honor his memory, and it brings back good feelings of my childhood. :sentimental:

Just? I looked it up, and it comes from Latin meaning amazing, wondrous, remarkable. So you're amazing, wondrous and remarkable!

The flower is in the family of four o'clocks. Love them and had forgotten about them. I'm going to look them up to see if they can be grown here.

lol Georgia - nice research! You found me out, more info:

Mirabilis jalapa (the four o'clock flower or marvel of Peru) is the most commonly grown ornamental species of Mirabilis, and is available in a range of colours. Mirabilis in Latin means wonderful and Jalapa is a not uncommon placename in Central and North America. Mirabilis jalapa is said to have been exported from the Peruvian Andes in 1540.

A little internet magic.

I joined my first forum in 2007. It was an English Forum and I used my real name. Later I joined an Australian forum and used hawkeye. Still later I joined another Australian forum and debated with myself whether to use my real name. Where I lived a huge sandstorm was in progress. I stepped out on the porch and a large tumbleweed came blowing down my street. I chose the name drifter, drifting along with that tumbling, tumbleweed. So, I'm also drifter here, an unemployed never do well, vagabond, a hobo, a nobody, merely a drifter, full of complexes. That's all folks.
