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.
You’ll always be HRH to me.
Hmm … Trannyhead is taken, too, in case you were curious.
I hear ya – most places I’m mommy_wins, so as to stay consistent with my blog name, but I goof sometimes (like on cre8buzz) and sign up with something like colleenv218 and am stuck with that. I should look into standardizing more of them…
I am really glad you clarified. My little brain was just not getting it.
aliases are a bit confusing at times…as are passwords … I keep 2 and that’s about it.
simple is always better.
oh and for the record, I refer to myself as Mightymom all the time…even at home and work. teeheehee.
by the way, I’m certifiably odd, so probably not an example to follow
🙂
When I was in the 4th grade I was cast as a holiday elf named HOLLY in my school’s Christmas play.
I didn’t have an elf costume so my mom let me wear my stepsister’s red and white cheerleading uniform and some weird slippers she had crocheted that turned up at the ends. I looked completely ridiculous but I was SO PROUD of myself, mostly because I LUUUUVED the name HOLLY and now I got to pretend that it was mine. I totally thought I was the star of the show.
Looking back on it, I realize that I did not have any lines and was probably given the role of HOLLY the elf because I had zero talent and the most ridiculous elf costume you could imagine.
But I still love the name HOLLY.
Too many Holly’s in the blog world!!
Did anyone guess? I know, I know, I know — Mr. Cotter! (Hey he’s a poker player too, how about that!)
So are you changing your plurk ID as well? Or have you just given up on us all. 🙂
That’s why I switched to Memarie Lane. I never met another Marie until I began blogging, and there are Maries everywhere all of the sudden. Also my nickname has always been Ree, but I know of at least 5 bloggers that go by Ree. And I always thought it was so unusual!
I like HRH. It makes me think “Her Royal Highness” …
Aww, I knew it was you.
Or the OTHER Holly – Just kidding.
I went and changed my name recently, and TWO.DAYS.LATER. I found a blog – that I had never seen before, that has my name. And she’s been there longer, and I’ve come across the same blog/person two or three times since then.
But not before, no, I couldn’t have discovered it BEFORE I changed my name like a big giant dork!! Uh, sorry about that…
Ugh – for now the new name stays, until I can figure out what to do. Probably better off with my real name. LOL!
