Because when you sign up for things nowadays they ask for a username most of the time, not handles.
Exactly! I had two that I would use, depending on the site/platform. haha.
Yeah. I call it that 'cos it's the vernacular, but it doesn't feel good on the tongue.
I saw Merchant of Venice at the Globe. Not one of my favourites, but the experience was fun, if uncomfortable (those benches are super narrow).
But honestly? I really like the Scottish play.
Taming of the Shrew, simply because I love Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton's version. It's absolutely ridiculous and I cackle the entire time.
"Foooood. FOOOOD!" is seared into my brain
I just think it's funny all around.
I can remember my old student number, but I can't remember my ICQ number. It was 6 digits, I remember that much. And it had a 1 and an 8 in there. But that's all my memory recall can do.
Remember when usernames were called handles?
Dear Perimenopausal Body,
I need to be able to sleep. I really, really do.
Signed,
Exhausted
Lol, the zing.
But yeah, man. I learned how to play AD&D on a BBS.
I also used Freetel, the first voice chat program.

I think the studio closures have something to do with it. There are less jobs because there are less studios.
Hello, fellow classically trained opera singer.
Haha. Thanks. I'm a xennial married to a gen xer. I get it!
I was so nervous! Lol.
At age sixteen I competed to be in Lilith Fair in Detroit and Buffalo.
I made it to the final 7, but they took the top 4.
I haven't finished it yet but I am thoroughly enjoying yelling at my television. I love forbidden love tropes.
Bridgerton for me.
I had three grandmothers.
One was a french teacher, the other was an English professor turned department head, and then one was a homemaker.
Both in WWII. One was a lieutenant. He trained allied troops how to use artillery after he ended up in the hospital for 6 months. Then he became a teacher turned high school principal.
The other was infantry, and then worked at a pipe factory. During the depression, he rode the rails.
She was insistent that her prayer would cure me and while I wish that were true, auto immune disease isn't just gonna go away.
On the way to the doctor and my uber driver just said a minute long prayer to Jesus to cure my RA. And while I appreciate the sentiment it was really, really awkward.
There is a woodpecker(s) that likes to peck at the old wooden telephone pole in the alley behind the house year after year. He's been doing his thing the last few mornings.
Just finished Avowed for the second time, since they updated the game loads.
I enjoyed it the first time around, but the gameplay is a lot smoother now. Crafting feels nice.
I really like this game. It's the type of action-rpg that I'll come back to once a year or so.
I'm going after all! Woot!
A map of Pinewood, made poorly in Paint. There are trees, a lake, tents, a couple of outbuildings, and a main hall.
I'm running a game of Honey Heist for coworkers today as a virtual team event and I'm laughing at my paint map.
perimenopause insomnia sucks
Oh booooooooooo!
I watched ep 5 yesterday. Trying to drip feed the rest.
