How did you get your user name?
Fun thread. Someone posted a similar query a year or so ago and the responses were interesting and fun.
Mine?
After lurking for a week, I decided to take the plunge and join but couldn't come up with a screen name. Or, what did come to mind would be something that might be easily identified with me. I finally got exasperated with myself, looked around my living room and saw the word "Venecia" on something in my midst.
I just went with it. Some days I like it; most days I think it makes me sound like an overly prim school marm.
Oh well. In real life, I have the luxury of actually liking my name quite a bit so you win a few and lose few.

Blue light on the avenue
God knows they got to you
An empty glass, the lady sings
Eyes swollen like a bee sting
Blinded you lost your way
Through the side streets and the alleyway
Like a star exploding in the night
Falling to the city in broad daylight
An angel in Devil's shoes
Salvation in the blues
You never looked like an angel
Yeah yeah...angel of Harlem
AWESOME lyrics to one of the all time best songs..Angel of Harlem...being a U2 fan I've seen them several times in concert and I too remember seeing 'Rattle and Hum' at the theater when it came out....oh..the 80's!

Being a hunter and pecker on the keyboard it helped reinforce the idea when I first joined. So in the early offing it was an imperative directed to myself, now it's a declarative, hey it worked

I'd been on a cubscout camp out with my son the weekend before joining here - something I love doing with him. I live in Florida. It was the first thing I could think of.
Funny thing - when I tried to create a user name, I got a message that my IP address was blocked. I've wondered - but didn't want to know the answer!- If I'd previously created a user name and posted something inappropriate while drunk and been blocked. But I'll never know.
Love this thread!

When my husband and I met (28 years in May), we were at a bar/dance club. We were introducing ourselves, he (Ken) thought I said Barbie! That's when BarbieKen became an "item" All these years it kinda clicked with us, the nickname. So, it was a natural when it came to picking my screen name. especially since he just got 10 years in November, my sweet recovering alcoholic.

Hey!
I was in my 20's in the 80's when U2 came around in the U.S. I was living above a dry cleaning in a tiny studio with 2 other friends in their own little studio's. Party Central sort of thing. They were so fantastic as a rock band, and Bono ( how do WE say that name??) was such a passionate singer! U2 and Clapton is God all rolled up there at that time in my life. Great Memories for sure.
