Ohh, would you post a couple of photos of the type of jewelry you made/make?? I'd love to see it Minoux! I took a jewelry class a couple of years ago, mostly working with pearls, sterling and beads! It was so much fun once I got the hang of it, though my "pieces" were only good enough for me or my friends.

Huh, I thought I'd responded to this back in the day, but I guess not! I have a name out of myth, but when I tried signing up for my first email account, surprise, surprise - it was taken! So I ran through all of my favorite characters from myth until I found one that was free, and thus my alter ego was born.
I've used it pretty consistently since high school: when I started blogging, it was right after a bad patch, dating-wise, so my tag line was, "Turning men into pigs, one breakup at a time." Happily, I broke the streak when I got together with my husband ... the irony is that since we were friends first and spent a lot of time on chat, he once said that it was almost his default association! I'm okay with that, on the whole ... better this than the sap who's my mythological namesake.

I missed the thread the first time around....
I am horribly uncreative when it comes to screen names. Armywife, because, well...I am an army wife and for better or worse(mostly better!), the army consumes my family's life. 13 is my favorite number and also my husband and I's birthdate, his March 13th and mine July 13th.

My first year in the Uni I was a Chemistry major though decided to change it since sitting in the lab 24/7 is not my thing. During that year I did a lab course on inorganic chemistry and one of the compounds I made there was kalomeli. It's an inorganic compound of Mercury and chloride-ions (Hg2Cl2) and during the good old days (well not so good since kalomeli is poisonous) it was used as medicine for various purposes.

I had a Halle berry style short cut haircut in my teen years when i was also very very hippy. everything was tiedye and my handbags were hemp, my diet was vegetarian and organic for animal cruelty reasons (still eat cruelty free but not vegetarian). my best friends young brother said i looked like a hippy pixie. It was about the same time i signed up for my first email account so it stuck. the haircut didn't stick though, it looked awful on me!
This is such a fun thread hearing how everyone chose their names! It's interesting to hear how people carry many times parts of their old selves in these screen names.
Yennyfire, I loved how you got your name! Such a sweet story. I actually chose mine since the word had a nice flow to it and even today it reminds me of that time when I knew the periodic table by heart.
Hippi_pixi, That's such a fun story!

When I first signed up, I wanted Aprilbaby (for obvious reasons )... but it was already taken. So I just used the initials of my alma mater (MSOP). A long time ago I had to choose an email for school and I wanted msop03, since that would be my graduation year, but it was already taken by someone in my class... so I just went with msop04. Pretty lame, but there it is.

This is a fun thread, thanks Yennyfire for starting (and reviving) it! My screen name is based on the name of one of our cats – Tweeter – plus the last 4 digits of phone number I know longer have! I was signing up for some forum years ago when Tweeter was just a kitten and the screen name just kind of stuck. Unfortunately, my little Tweeter past on a few weeks ago, so I now think of my screen name as a memorial to her!!
