Not for here, but I’m going to need a new user ID elsewhere. Could you guys help me with that if I list some defining characteristics? Ok, so here goes nothing. Some things about me… Favorites [ul] [li]my dog, Zen[/li][li]all colors green[/li][li]horror & indie films [/li][li]eBay & thrift shops[/li][li]New Mexico[/li][li]autumn[/li][li]Aerosmith and female singers[/li][li]jeans, sweatshirt hoodies & flip flops[/li][li]ethnic food[/li][li]gadgets[/li][li]hippie / liberal / equal rights -ness[/li][li]amusement parks, parades, fireworks (any general kid stuff)[/li][li]long-haired guys[/li][li]mobile homes[/li][li]baseball[/li][/ul] … to just name a few. Pet Peeves [ul] [li]blocking the fast lane[/li][li]willful ignorance[/li][li]lack of capitalization[/li][li]ragging on the mentally ill / challenged[/li][/ul] And other than all that, I was a once aspiring English teacher, now turned waitress. I have no children and will be divorced, hopefully, by the first of next year. Um, I’m 38, with blue eyes and red hair outta the box. A nuts (truly), see-what-you-get, not girlie, previously religious, loner type. Oh, and I also try to do my version of ‘art’ from time to time. Guess that’s about all. If you have any questions that’ll help you help me come up with a new moniker, just yell. ---

Something about putting “Zen” and “blocking the fast lane” together appeals to me. Maybe something that uses those? Zen In the Fast Lane, or Fast Lane Zen or Monks in the Fast Lane or something. ---

I read it and the first thing that came to mind was, she’d be a cool neighbor. Cool Neighbor? Na, that sucks, but wanted to compliment you anyways. ---

Some of these definitely had me chuckling and a few scratching my head. Of course for that last bit, tis probably nothing new. 😛 A few notes… **Kuizelemartz** , that’s so sweet. I _hope_ I’m a cool neighbor, but I won’t be able to ask the new folks I’m living next to for at least a couple of weeks yet. I’ll report the results though if they’re not casting spells on me to Keep Off Our Lawn! (Yes, we do have those even in the trailer parks!) At one time I thought of something like Lunchbox Zen, but I just couldn’t make a go of it. Perhaps that’s a vein I should continue to mine, huh? There shouldn’t be any damn crying in baseball!! Nor should there be any talk, **silenus** , accept about what red HAIR COLOR comes from the box. You bad boy you. I do like Janie Tyler / EatTheRich (maybe I should aim for Janie Tyler Eats the Rich?), Rivets in Blue Denim and **What Exit?**'s homage to a favorite old song. However, Mr. **casm** , I’m going to be another to take a pass on your excellent Chicken name suggestion. I just don’t think I could take being constantly assumed by everyone to know what I taste like. :eek: And if I only collected porpoises! Instead, it’s the truly mundane butterflies and daisies. I told y’all. 😃😃😃 Last of all, I don’t _even_ wanna know what the hell you’re talkin’ 'bout **Qadgop**. The sound of it alone makes me shudder. Now after all that, the only thing I can add is that I’ve been really hung up on the idea of a play on Pippi Longstocking. I’ve done hippie wrongstocking before, however that’s still just not quite it. I suppose I’ve covered whatever might be interesting (or at least not stone dead boring) concerning me. If there’s more I can blab over, simply ask. Thanks everyone thus far. I love all the creativity here. Keep more coming please! [P.S. If only peacefool wasn’t too easily snatched up. :(] ---
