When I first got TiVo, my friends started jumping on the bandwagon, too. Soon, there was this colony of TiVo zombies in class, all bleary-eyed and dazed from staying up too late watching all the shows TiVo recorded for them. It reminded me of this really bad video game back in the '80's called, "Zombies Ate My Neighbors." But TiVo ate mine and made them zombies, so that's where the username comes from.0

I love dragonflies and my biological last name is Bird. My use name for years has been dragonflykiss...but that one became unavailable on sites, so I decided to combine my love of dragonflies with my last name.
My love for dragonflies comes from a long long story though. To make it very short, there is a an old fable told to little children about how a darner fly will come and sew the mouths of little boys who tell lies. I took that concept and wrote a poem about a girl who could not speak; she had dragonflies fluttering around in her stomach and chest which were also secrets and she had her lips invisibly sewn together. This way she could not speak of her secrets, but she was desperate to have her secrets come out.
That is how my user name came to be.0 -

At first I wanted to go with something that describes me at the start of my weight loss journey, like FatAndFatigued . lol But then I though, NO WAY! Why would I pick a user name that describes something I don't like about me. You are what you say you are! I don't want to doom myself to fail by calling myself Fat and Fatigued. So I decided to give myself a name that signifies what I am aiming for, what I'm journeying toward. I'm Stacy, and on my way to Skinny. StacySkinny! That's who I am in my mind, and that's who I will be once my body catches up to my brain. lol0

That poem sounds amazing! You have such a wonderful imagination. The whole concept of that poem just grabbed me and held on. I really would love to read it. Are you a writer?0 -
