This is Mundane and Pointless, I know, but I must share.

I changed my username from **Blink178** to **roadkiller**.  
And dammit, I keep forgetting to click the “Show Signature” box when I post.

Yes, when I made my username I did like Blink182. And every time I signed up for something I would put my name as Blink178. I just got tired of it.

I like roadkiller better.  
I must also remember to show signature too. Stupid act requiring conscious thought for it.
