Wonder if you'd mind sharing how you chose your screen name? There must be interesting stories behind some of them! I'm Jackie in real life,lol, but "Jackie" is so serious! :roll: I'm married to Michael & *he* dubbed me "mikie", ROFL! He doesn't let ANYONE call HIM mikie so it was a little joke when I tried it & it stuck. I've never bothered to change it, & it's just part of me now!

I made mine up when I was little- still playing outside and pretending to be a sorceress and such. (We used leaves from the chestnut trees as "money"). I've always loved and use it for a lot of things. It's also almost always available when i sign up for new things :)

My cat is Tizzy, and I always call her Tizzylou, so when I needed a online name Tizzylou was a natural choice. Mikie, my middle daughter's name is Michelle, and until she got out of college she was always "Mikie" now only her Dad and I can get away with it. Hollis

Hi all

I chosen my name as I'm very pale like a ghost. I have been all my life and will be the day I die (the inside of my arm is so pale its close to milk lol).

I avoid the sun like the plague - sun burn is never fun and I don't tan. I have to use SPF 50+ (can't get it any high in England at the mo) even with that I have to top it up every 45 min - 1 hour when I'm on the beach. And I'm not talking the Bahamas here I'm talking about English beaches, guess how hot they get!!

Because I avoid the sun, like wearing black most of the time (I'm getting out of that comfort zone) and I love vampire/supernatural books and movies, my sisters started to calling me a vampire lol. Well I didn't think "Vampire" was a very good screen name on a makeup forum (would have been very funny though :D ) so I went with Ghost - and I'm glad I did.

Great post idea Mikie :P

Zeebs was my nickname at my one of my previous jobs because there were three employees with the same first name. It's kind of a perversion of my name. For privacy reasons I won't share further.

Hi everybody
I have a black cat tattoo on my left wrist, and I'm a girl. "nuff said.
(we have 3 tuxedo cats-all girls-11 years old. They are littermates. They were rescue cats. A lady we know found their very pregnant mom in a dumpster a day before she delievered the 3 of them and 3 other stillborns.) We offered to take the 3 babies when they were old enough.
That's my story.

I've always been frond online... why I chose the name... I can't remember now *blush* something to do with loving the seaside and palm trees I think.

btw, if u don't know... frond is the name of a palm tree branch. :)
