omg - I did it.

[jillan]

I'm tired of being a stupid fish.

Jillian is my real name, but it was taken :eyes:

[WheelWalker]

1. Shit. Now you've gone and done it. I was waiting

for you.

[jillan]

2. It's kinda weird out there.

People that I have known for years have changed their names.

I just got a wild hair and did it...now I'm second guessing myself.
Oh well :)

[WheelWalker]

3. Well, you'll always be P to me.

I always thought it was wild "hair," too; until about six months ago, when it suddenly occurred to me, could it be "hare"? Suddenly, the phrase took on a whole different set of implications for me. How about you?

[jillan]

4. Well I always assumed it was hair because of the rest of the saying.

If having a wild hair (up my butt) makes me change my name, just think what a wild hare would make me do :P

[WheelWalker]

5. Exactly. Consider the implications. Especially considering

the rest of the saying. A wild hair wouldn't necessarily cause all that much consternation, certainly not excitement. A wild hare, on the other hand....well, let me just say that's something that would ALWAYS cause aberrant behavior. Just say'n. YIKES!

[jillan]

7. Why am I all of the sudden thinking about Richard Gere?

:D

[PatSeg]

22. WheelWalker

I love it. Much better visual than Village Idiot.

[CrispyQ]

28. Love your new screen name!

I couldn't stand to call you The Village Idiot in my head or in text, so I shortened it to VI.

:fistbump:

[Tashca]

31. Wheel Walker........fits you

My first thought when I saw that name was someone walking a Native American wheel. Basically walking the wheel of life. I think rather fitting for you. I never much fell for that Idiot thing..:eyes:

A few years ago I made a native wheel in my back yard using sacred plants....I would walk it and meditate....I needed it at the time. I left it when I moved back to Iowa. I need to design another one.

[WheelWalker]

32. Yes. Samsara.

The Wheel of Existence. The Wheel of Rebirth. The Wheel of Suffering.

[livvy]

41. This is much better. It fits you well.

I thought VI was a funny name, but it didn't fit who you were, especially the idiot part. Good choice!

[AspenRose]

6. YOU CHANGED YOUR NAME!!!

OK, so when are you going to get on Facebook? }(

[jillan]

8. Facebook??? Facebook? Then I will never get off the computer.

What is so great about facebook anyway?

[AspenRose]

9. Some of us are already there :-)

So if things get to be too much around here, or if one of us goes missing, you can probably find us there.

[jillan]

10. Do you put in your real full name?

When you sign up?

[jillan]

11. Okay - I did it - now what? How do I find you guys?

[PatSeg]

23. My sister just got me to join Facebook

and all of a sudden everyone is showing up.

How do I find you guys over there? Are you part of the Democratic Underground group?

[jillan]

34. Here-

come find me.

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1332935144&ref=profile

I did join the DU group over there but it didn't seem like much was going on.

[elleng]

12. Jillian, its WORSE than a STUPID FISH!

and I'll try to use your real name; its a good one!

[jillan]

13. you don't like it?

Oh well. It's me tho.

[elleng]

14. I DO like it;

its the OLD one I thought was somewhat ... unpleasant? ...

[jillan]

15. I guess it fit for the Bush years.

Angry little fish ;)

Now I am me again.... I feel so free :)

[WheelWalker]

16. To the extent I can see images in my brain

(which is practically NOT), I always pictured P as a mermaid, reclined on a rock, filing her teeth.

[elleng]

17. I like the first 2;

don't know about the teeth thing!

[jillan]

18. WheelWalker - wow - now there is an image.

Are you walking, or are you on wheels? Or are you walking with a walker?
(don't mind me - I've been up since 5 am and I am in slap happy land while sharpening my teeth)

[WheelWalker]

19. A traveler on the Wheel of Dharma.

Like you.

[Eurobabe]

20. Wow, you guys are making my head spin!!

Look at all the new names!! I'm going to have to make a list. :spray:

[PatSeg]

21. Wow!

That is really cool. Its like getting a new hairstyle - daring and risky, but ultimately satisfying.

[Debi]

24. WTF?

:banghead:

This namechange thing is pissing me off!

[CrispyQ]

26. Join the fun.

If you won't go for the Hunter themed names, then how about Stiletto?

;)

[Debi]

29. I have to keep 'Debi' it's the only name I can remember!

:P

[WheelWalker]

33. There can be great enjoyment in forgetting, as well.

[Eurobabe]

44. oh quit being a party pooper and eat your cupcake!!

:rofl:

[Jennicut]

25. I like it!

[CrispyQ]

27. Will we see an avatar change too?

I love your fish but it looks a little friendly for a pirhana.

:fistbump:

[jillan]

39. I tried to yesterday, but it didn't take.

And then again, last nite I had someone tell me that they were glad I was keeping the fish so they would know who I was.

I'm still going to try and change it.
I have a perfect one for my new name.

[Tashca]

30. I like the new name

You seem more personable with this name....

you were sorta scary before....;-)

[WheelWalker]

37. She's a kinder, softer, gentler sort of fin.

[Froward69]

35. the facebook idea

Is Grand!!!

my facebook is here...
http://www.facebook.com/s.php?k=100000080&id=1332935144&sid=be6d15fa3fc18bf6e0b62d125ccc41be#/profile.php?id=1152566820&ref=profile

Friends are always welcome just put "Bidenite" and your AKA from DU and I will add any and all.

[WheelWalker]

36. ;

[PatSeg]

38. Just added you as a friend!

Forgot to say Bidenite though.

[livvy]

42. Me, too, and I didn't put the Bidenite part either...

I mean it was a whole 15 seconds or so before the page loaded, so of course I forgot. :silly:

[livvy]

40. I like it a lot!

Jillian is one of my favorite female names, actually.

I still can't get a capital letter going for my name. I suppose I could send Skinner a note...hate to bug him though.

I sent you a Facebook friend request. I'm the big blue bulb pic, but if you look closer, I am in the pic. I'm taking the picture of the big, blue bulb. I'd just gotten a new camera, and I was having fun playing.

[Muttocracy]

43. it's weird - our old posts have our old names still - somehow I thought it would all change

because it was linked to ID numbers, but I guess that might be even more confusing.

[Eurobabe]

45. does our ID # change too??

OH NOES!!?? We look like new arrivals?

[Muttocracy]

46. no, it must have saved our ID # because our post counts are there but

if you look at the JBSG page, there are post from both our old and new names - I'm surprised it didn't change the old names - they must have some way of checking the time stamp and putting in the correct name.

[Eurobabe]

47. no wonder Skinner only does this every 4 years

:banghead:
