Studmuffin was already taken ;-D

But seriously, When I signed up way back when, I had no idea I would actually be posting anything here. fljoe (a combination of the state I live in and my name) was just a standard log-in I used for a bunch of accounts and it was easy enough for me to remember. The 0 got thrown on the end because fljoe sometimes would be already taken. If I realized when I signed up here that I would have been posting so much, I probably would have used something else. I've often thought about changing it but have always decided not to.

U2 is my favorite band and has been for years and years and years... I grew up on their music. POP is actually my favorite album of theirs, but I love Achtung Baby too and it sounds more interesting. That's why I picked it. Haha.

uh...my name REALLY IS Christine and I was born in 1962. Not too many of us Christines around so people always can't remember it and call me Claudia or Catherine...I always tell folks "Christine, you know like Stephen King's demon-possessed car?" They don't forget after that.

I'm Wiccan and Autumn Gust is my Wiccan name. It fits my personality perfectly . Autumn's my favorite season-- I love every. single. thing about it and really come alive during that time of year. I chose "Gust" for two reasons: It doesn't take much for me to get excited when something's going on. :laugh: But, especially, I love autumnal gusts that shake the trees and cause the leaves to swirl wildly. I also love it when I'm walking along and a strong gust suddenly makes a little eddy of brightly colored leaves. I think they're beautiful as they scoot across the street. And that scraping sound they make on the pavement as they whirl by? Just lovely!

Very nice description. Autumn is my favorite time of year, and this was perfectly said.

Oh, thanks, Dana Jean. Autumn always feels way too short for me so I try to not to waste one minute of it. I walk, I bake, I read Robert Frost, I decorate the house, and I endlessly extol its beauty to everyone until they're sick of hearing me. :biggrin2:
Plus - there is Hallowe'en at the end of October - I enjoy watching all the kids dressed up, coming to the house saying "Trick or Treat!"

My real name is Johanna. My friend use to call me Jojo sometimes. When I first joined this board my username was girl87 but
at some point in a thread on the old board we had to explain our nicknames and I said my friend use to call me Jojo sometimes.
John Daglish asked if he can call me Jojo instead of Johanna and I said yes. And because of him I changed my username to Jojo.
87 is my birth year. John are missed by many of this board.

My user name is Stephen King spelled backwards. My sister says King makes us look at things from a different perspective so, backwards it had to be. Her user name is rewoT91. She's a huge DT series nut therefore tower, backwards and 91, well of course it's 19 also backwards. I think we are officially known here as The Backwards Sisters. :biggrin-new:

I think you two are a couple of Lobstrocities! (at least in your avatar, that is!) :grinning::laugh:
Do you think you will be able to come to Colorado in 2016 by any chance?
