I signed up to write under my initials: HRH.
I love my initials.
I found a man to marry seventeen years ago that kept my initials intact.
I go sign up for other things: twitter, stumble, plurk, etc. and want to be recognized by those who know me.
But my initials are taken. My parent-given initials are a bit popular.
So I start randomly choosing available names.
It has gotten to the place where I don’t know who I am.
Anywhere.
I can’t keep up with myself.
I use my initials here, but speak of myself in third person as Holly.
Please don’t mention how annoying that is.
I would use June Cleaver (even though not deserved) but it is occupied as well.
The madness had to stop.
Insert sage advice here.
Oh, Jennifer my yoda.
Yoda suggested simplifying.
Yoda is right.
The initials have to go…Oh NO!
Holly it is.
Crap! Holly is taken everywhere too.
So from now on it is texasholly.
Simple?
Please recognize me when I visit.
You don’t even have to refer to me as HRH anymore…
PS–If anyone can guess (other than Roger, Jennifer and Ron) what the poker connection is to my texasholly name you will be in my fruit bowl next Monday.
PPS–I will remain HRH on one blog. It is my hope to reach epic size and break 400 by year end.
texasholly – I would recognize you ANYWHERE.
Is it too late for beaver-trapping-holly? I think that has a nice ring….
I am so glad that I will still be able to find you.
Oh..and I’m with you on the initials being used. My maiden initials= DAD hah…funny…everybody loved it (I work in an environment where I use my initials A LOT)
married initials= DAR
husbands initials= DAR…so he’s had his initials longer than I have…he’s already used them everywhere he can
THRH (from previous comment)
Texas
Hold em’
Rockstar
Holly
Don’t you worry yourself about ME recognizing you…. once I am hooked on a blog, (semi stalking you) you can be sure I will recognize you no matter what you call yourself…. {grin}
Your writing shines through even in comments… so don’t worry…
I recently had to change my online name, due to religious stalkers trying to convert me into a “breeder.” I was not a happy camper at all, but now, I am figuring out I was a Fiesty Charlie along…
I didn’t recognize you at first! Glad to know it is still you!
TexasHolly needs to Hold ’em, HaHa I made a funny!!
Oh you don’t think its that funny??
Ok I will sit down and be quiet now 🙂
I recognized texasholly when you signed my blog earlier, so not to worry … BUT, I do have to admit that I didn’t realize “HRH” were your initials … I called you “her royal highness” and I thought THAT was awfully clever of you!
Yay! Someone I “know” online uses MRH and I have always had a miserable time remembering which one is which since I am a doofus. TexasHolly I can handle.
I like the new name, but did wonder if it was you when I saw it – or someone else. You know I met and hung out with Meghan – in San Francisco – loved her – she is so darling and I just loved her!
Have a good day – Kellan
