A Getting to Know you Article

Two Simple questions

Published on July 11, 2007 By Moderateman In Blog Communities

I am wondering how you picked your Blogging name for one and for two how did you come to name your site?

I picked my name Moderateman because of my politics, No matter how they have changed, when I first came here 2 years and eight months ago, My politics were middle of the road. The name Moderateman I should have trade marked, because now there are so many Moderateman user names even I get confused.

I picked my site name because I understand it's my brain and my brain is a very scary place to visit sometimes, hence the 'ramblings of a Twisted mind"

When I first picked my site name there were no other sites with that name anywhere, NOW there are many "ramblings of a twisted mind" sites, I guess that copying is high praise.

So my dear sweet friends how did you choose writing name and site name?

Jythier is a name I came up with when I used to roleplay in the Red Dragon Inn on AOL. Everyone seemed to have the letter y in their name, and after letters it did NOT belong after. Therefore, I went ahead and put a y after a j. It is actually supposed to be pronounced hi-thee-er, the j being a spanish j, and the rest being normal pronunciation, which is what makes it such a great name. Absolutely no sense to it. Fit right in.

The name of my site, which I cannot type right now because my appostrophe key keeps bringing up the "find" window, Trust me, Im an accountant, is because my brother in law bought me a keychain with that phrase on it because I am, in fact, an accountant. I really liked that keychain, still use it for the keys to the firm, and kept it for the name of my blog as I was planning on mostly blogging about forensic accounting.

Most of the time I never pronounce names out loud while here, but today I pronounced your name out loud and cane see it, hithere. very cool and tricky too.

My name, ForeverSerenity (although the 's' is small, can't remember if that's my typo or the site not allowing me to use a captal 's' at the time, but that's how I like to write it) was chosen because I was looking for something that would depict how I wanted to be at that time in my life, my dad had died two or three years prior to me starting my blogsite, which I did actually began because my mom who was visiting with me at the time was very ill. She actually died a couple of months later. I got the name as a nudge from Seinfeld when George Constanza (spell?) (the character) used to yell out "Serenity Now, Serenity Now" when he was highly frustrated! I loved that show!lol!

So your name was one of expedience at the time, smart,.

Life as I Know It" - was chosen for my site because it was my life, my experiences, my likes, dislikes, etc , as I know it to be. I ranted, wrote poetry and shared a lot of information due to my varied interests in everything! I thought about changing my Site name the other day but decided to keep it because my blog is about MY LIFE as I know it to be after all, tumultuous, peaceful, quirky, sometimes depressed, sometimes elated, off the wall and involved my three kids and hubby (and my friends...sometimes

I kinda figured this one out, but it's good to see it in writing Donna. Have I told you you are one of the most favorite people I never met? heh

Hey MM,

I chose Adventure-Dude because at the time I was BIG into adventure racing. I have the same for the site because I couldn't come up with a nice catch phrase or just that I'm a loser. Oh well makes no difference to me I am who I am.

But you are the only MM I listen too

Double the ADVENTURE, DOUBLE THE DUDE. WORKS FOR ME.

thank you for saying I am the only mm that matters to you.

Well, my real name is Rose, so...this blog nic isn't very creative is it? lol.
Even more than it relating to my name, it's actually how I think of myself. I really am a late bloomer in life...I think I've experienced things much later than other people because I sheltered myself so much growing up.

My site name is, ahem, borrowed from the Bloom County cartoon strip (which I actually never really read on a regular basis). It sorta goes with my nic.

Texas = my home state, Wahine (pronounced wah-hee-nay) = girl or woman in Hawaiian

Da Kine is a Hawaiian catch-all phrase. It can mean whatever you want it to mean.
