    Matchbox_girl because that is my twitter name. My favorite band is Matchbox 20...through twitter the lead singer Rob Thomas started to recognize me, so at one of his concerts a few years back he called out my name while he was on stage and I got to shake his hand.....we still tweet to this day. Greatest thing ever :):)

    I normally use a "codename" for online activities since I'm pretty careful online about my privacy. I considered this when signing up, but I'm going into this with the intent to be open about myself and honest to myself and to the public about my progress. It just felt right to use my real first name and last initial as a way to hold myself accountable for my actions.

    Mine is very boring. I started my IT career in the early 80s. My whole career I have been "data based" in my work. In the last decade, that work has taken me further into database-oriented work, specifically Oracle and MySQL. I think the joke about the two guys who go into a non-SQL bar but leave without ordering because they couldn't find a table is hilarious. I get the joke that there are only 10 kind of people - those who understand binary and those who don't..

    See? Boring.

    My actual name is Jennifer. My MFP name has nothing to do with my coloring, I'm a white gal (no pic of me up yet), but I am a brunette with brown eyes. My MFP name actually has to do with the fact that I'm addicted to chocolate. All kinds, milk, white and dark, drinkable and eatable, fruit dipped in it, you name it, I love it. The "diva" part is because I'm a woman, naturally. So, woman who's addicted to chocolate - Chocoholicdiva. Pretty simple, don't you think? :bigsmile: :laugh:

    Nothing boring about that to me!!! I used to be an administrative assistant for a few months on a temp position a MUN - Grenfell campus in the city where I live back in 2003. I could barely keep up!!! You IT people have it made compared to what I had to do. Lucky me, I now work in selling snacks to businesses under an employment corporation for people with disabilities (I have epilepsy and can't keep up with busy jobs). My mom's my "partner", and she also works with another girl who's head injured from a car accident. You with a boring job? Nonsense!!! :noway:

    I like moving heavy lumps of iron around in the gym, and I grunt, growl and snarl like an animal while I'm doing it.

    Briski was my nick name from my college/party days + my wife likes it and uses it for her name, but she adds girl to the end of it. The number is the a number I came up with from back in my early AOL days. It is simply the number for information. I always either seem to have the info. or i need the info.

    My real name is Rita but I chose "xxReach4theStars2012xx" because this year for me is the year that I stop psyching myself out of things that I KNOW I can accomplish and realize that the only thing holding Me back is ME.

    For example, Ive been dragging my feet for years concerning finishing up my Bachelor's degree.

    I let life get in the way and also blamed finances; two things I used that as an excuse to keep putting school off but uh uh... not anymore.

    I re-registered , re-enrolled, clicked a button and paid my tuition and now my classes begin July 2.

    If I pass all of them (4 semesters left) Graduation is Spring 2013!!!

    Ive got a 6-year-old daughter that watches my every move and if Im going to tell her "Finish what you start no matter how hard it is to do so.", then I have to LIVE that truth. :0D

    I loveeee music that is upbeat that you can dance to... and a lot of them have some form of "ayyyy" in them. Like that one Soulja Boy song, "Hopped up out the bed, turned my swag on, looked in the mirror said what's up, AYYYY gettin' that money, ohhh"... I know, super cheesy, but it motivates me. And then "it's Ashley"= self explanatory. Haha!

    Mine is boring too!! Seonaid is my real name and 74 is the year I was born. For those trying to pronounce my name. It's " Shin Aid". Like the bald headed Irish singer. Same name spelt different. Mine is Scottish and hers is Irish!

    Hi chocoholicdiva - wow, thank you for your comments! Believe me when I say I know how hard admin assistants work. Your new venture sounds truly interesting. You''re perfectly positioned to help turn the tide toward healthy snacking, right? You can at least make proposals that would produce meaningful, positive change if successful... and if not, you at least had the opportunity to try, right?

    So happy to have met you - sending a friend request! :flowerforyou:

    I was in a production of The Wizard of Oz in high school and I played the Tin Woodsman. One of my cast-mates said that since I was a girl, they should call me Tinchick and the name has stuck ever since.
