Well, HOW MUCH?

SCD, to me, is a pen name that I prefer to keep compartmentalized from everywhere else to good effect.

The handle I haphazardly created for that ten seconds when people changed their names has grown on me, I've basically started using it anywhere where people know me in real life too.

I'm pretty sure that two or three of them are just being coy about it, so there are probably more than that.

I wonder when Thadtai is going to come down off of whatever awful pixie dust he's destroyed himself with today.

Also, Xenogears???

This is getting awfully close to roleplay.

Shit, the only way I could even tell it was you was your signature.

... and the postcount.

I have/had a lot of ridiculous handles around the interbutts, but this is by far the silliest.

IRL everyone except for family calls me by a nickname, since my given name is more suitable for playing Oregon Trail, or being an eccentric elderly aunt. (Margaret has died of cholera.) It feels really weird when people say my given name these days.

man you got me all siked thinking your name was going to be "hieronymous". i want to meet a hieronymous.

At least your name doesn't imply "90s boy band singer/dreamboat". Really wish my folks had gone more 19th century with my name and actually named me after my quasi-namesake. I'd probably still go by "Cody", but if my name was "William Frederick Cody", I'd be 100% ok with that.
