Hi all ~
just a question about something I am curious about. Why did you pick the screen name you did?

I guess for some of us, maybe it may be our real name, or the name we wish we would have had or it may be just something that came to mind, or it may have special meaning, or it was just anything we could think of...or...

For me, I picked "janedoe" when I registered because, at the time, it really reflected that in my heart, I wanted to be unknown, invisible, annoymous, and so badly... and because I am so struggling with finguring out my own identity, who I am. I wanted to show how to post and yet be unseen. (Weird thinking perhaps?)

Now, I kinda like it in a very different way. janedoe, or jd, or jane - it feels like it isn't so "annoymous" or inivisble and unknown, but ironically a name I use to let myself be known here. And I like that. Smiler

if anyone else wants to share, that's great! and if not, that's totally ok too (of course). I love the wide variety of really neat screen names people have choosen and I'm just curious... Smiler

Hi JD...I just thought you might be interested in seeing this thread that BeeBee started a while back...just in case some of these folks don't reply to your thread, you've got some more answers! Big Grin But I am glad you started a "new" thread for this so we find out from the "newer" folks too! Great question, and so much fun to find out a little more about everyone.

REALLY; Because i used the nick name for like 10 years ago, and i have never jused it afterwards.. I think i wanted to use it again, because it reminds me of someone i used to be back then. And, really -FROG- is a very not-personal nick name, i feel anonym and safe using it.

Great question BTWSmiler

Sorry for my bad english! i know it sucks. Must be trubbling trying to understand it.. Smiler i`ll be better as long as i keep reading all your interesting posts in here! Wink
