I know this is random but I notice a lot of people with screen names that have different musicals in them. I personally never give in to anything like that since my opinion constantly changes.
Anyone regret making their screen name the way they did? (I know there are a lot of old Wicked fans out there)
Also it doesn't neccesarily have to be BWW it can be e-mail or AIM too.

Posted: 4/9/06 at 5:17pmI do. Mine is "Existentialica". So pretentious and aloof and not in a charming way.

-Dre- You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree.

Random question for Dre (andrea 
)-- Do you say Andr-AY-a (long a) or Andr-E-a (long e)?

I use this name for EvErYtHiNg. I never really regretted it till one boss started makin jokes about me being "mistress something." I wouldnt say I regret it in a general sense but when a superior comes out with a joke about it, it kinda makes me go ummm. I guess it doesnt have the most professional ring to it.

Posted: 4/9/06 at 10:14pmSeeing that 90% haven't had a clue that SeeWhatIWannaSee is related to theater, no. Just another semi-inane phrase in their book. I usually use my first name if it isn't taken. That never fails. And it helps me remember...

very much so--people see my name, and easily write me off as a junior high shill, which isn't the case...and I'm not as obsessed with Rent as I was 2 years ago.

Posted: 4/10/06 at 6:44amI don't regret making this my BWW user name, but sometimes I wish I had picked something that was more conducive to a nickname.

For now I still like my BWW name, but I think I've learned from my past AIM experience...I've only really had two names and started to regret both of them.
The first was BSBFan007. Granted, I was about 12 or 13 and in love with the Backstreet Boys, but still...*shakes head*
The second was something that seemed funny in high school, losrfrhikvil (for "loser from hickville"). Now I'm like "why would you call yourself a loser in your sn?!" So yeah...learned my lesson from those two.
