Posted: 8/29/13 at 5:22pmThere are some pretty creative names on here and I wanted to know the inspiration behind them. Mine isn't really creative, but N2N is very close to my heart and although it isn't my favorite show, it has gotten me through some tough times. That's why I chose to put N2N in my username.

You also needed a new name that didn't have the words 'broadway' or 'guy' in it. So.... there's that.
Anyway, Liza is one of my favorites and it wouldn't let me use 'Liza' as a username so I went to the next best thing.

Posted: 8/29/13 at 5:41pmOnly have 1. Sorry to disappoint.
#4What was the inspiration behind choosing your username?
Posted: 8/29/13 at 6:32pmMine was that my level of musical theatre liking borders of geekiness and someone had already taken the name so I put a 2 on the end... I realise now I have a truly awful name but I just feel it would be somehow morally wrong to create a new account just because I no longer like my username!

Posted: 8/29/13 at 6:37pmLong story. I got banned from another site, and one of my friends had this name as a back up username, so she gave it to me. I just carried it over to this site.

Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina

I have two kids who went to performing arts schools for middle and high school. I have supported them in everything they have chosen to do. I also support women's rights, gay rights, Broadway and so many other things- well NOT Khate Gosselin or Sarah Palin!

I posted mine ages ago in that "celebrity of the day" thread, so I'll just drudge it up. It's been over six years, so it doesn't feel too repetitious.
Here goes:
It's an old theatre story. Back when I was pounding the pavements in New York a couple of decades ago, we'd be told every now and then at the ugly cattle calls to sing our "best 8 bars" of a song. Frustrated, I walked into an audition one time and suggested to them if I sang the blues could I get 12 bars? (Fortunately the musical director thought that was hilarious. He understood that "blues" is written in 12 bar phrases instead of 8, and it was my clever and pathetic way of trying to get 4 more bars out of it. He told me just for that, I could sing the whole damn song. I got a callback and almost landed the part... it was a replacement for a lead on Broadway. They narrowed it down to three of us and that's when I got cut. The point is, I decided to be gutsy, semi-clever... and ask for more time to be heard... and it paid off. So I decided to use that as my "name" on this board. It seemed like a personal but logical choice for me.

Diva, I thought he was a troll in the beginning, but then I saw everyone taking him seriously.
Anyway, my name is the name of the theater I managed, and the street it was on, and it's my middle name.

Posted: 8/29/13 at 7:37pmSo, let's be careful in giving him any personal information. Who knows why he's collecting it.

Love that, Jane. Never would have guess it's not your real name.
I was fourteen when I dubbed myself Glinda and I was an idiot.

I think the scariest part is that there are 21 GlindatheGoods ahead of you.
EDIT: By the way, I don't think you're an idiot.

Posted: 8/29/13 at 7:43pmIn an earlier life I am afraid when words came out of my mouth they could be rather hurtful so this is,hopefully,the essence of the new 'me'--think before I speak-sweet words from sweet lips [works sometimes].

Posted: 8/29/13 at 7:49pmMany thanks, besty. Actually, the 22 is the part I don't regret. It's my incredibly lucky number. Hit it twice in a row in roulette once. :)

Posted: 8/29/13 at 7:53pmSorry- I didn't realize the OP was a troll. I guess I don't pay that close of attention to that.
#22What was the inspiration behind choosing your username?
Posted: 8/29/13 at 8:19pmIt's hysterical that some posters think I actually have time to create all these other personalities. I have never even heard of most of them, LOL. Ohwell, lets try not to indulge the negative posters and stay on topic. Love hearing the inspirations.

Well regardless I'll answer.
Mine is pretty obvious, it is the title character from Thoroughly Modern Millie. It's not my favorite show, but it was the first one I saw on Broadway, so I'll always hold a special place for it in my heart.
