I think the coding symbol negated it. Anyway, the Mel B. comes from a friend and former colleague (someone you might know, peripherally.) It was originally a name I hated, because he used it to tease me in connection to a pop culture reference at the time. But I've grown attached to it, and is useful as an Internet nickname. You could go for Tod C. That works! I remember how you used to use Tod a lot. :) I saw your original comment through my gmail, which asks where the el B. part came in.

Actually, where DID "<el b" come from? Is there a history or reason behind that name choice? Maybe I should opt for Tod C.?

It also helps clear any possible confusion between the other Melissa in this community. So I like Mel B. more than dreams, for instance, or dhalgren. ;-) I happen to have become attached to Mel B.

I like using real first names, but others might feel differently. I guess it depends on how you want to be known. I like using real first names, but others might feel differently.

Mon, 30 Jan 2006 19:41:41 +0000 http://sodsbrood.com/junk/2006/01/30/breaking-the-silence/#comment-7 Here's a question... should I change my posted identity so when I write that I show up as Mel B. rather than dreams? Just curious how everyone else felt. We have a Matt, Todd and oddly enough, DHALGREN.

If it belongs to someone else, it's shit; if it belongs to you, it's stuff. Anyway, now that the daunting first post is out of the way, hopefully more people will post some shit...er, stuff.
