    It's not so bad. Like Southern Breeze said, most wouldn't have noticed.

    My online nick has given me some grief. I came up with "furrycelt" years ago (over 10) when I was leaving NCSU and needed a non-school email address. I signed up with Yahoo. I wanted something that reflected me, so I went with all the things that covered Celtc, Scottish, red hair, etc.. Well, everything I came up with was taken. I refused to take something already in existance and add numbers behind it, purely out of ego of course. Almost about to give up, I discovered that "furrycelt" wasn't taken. I am rather hairy and I am of celtic blood, so why not.

    For a long while I thought little of it. Until I would get the occasional *odd* question directed at me out of the blue. And around that time, I happened across a curious documentary on MTV (of all things). Appearently, there is a fetish-sub-culture of people who like to dress up as animals and also do "animal things". They call themselves: "furries".

    For the record: I am not a "furry"!!

    However, I have kept it cause everyone online knows me as that. And if you don't read anything into it, it still fits me.

    Why o why does everyone insist on putting these images into my head!

    Actually that reminds me of a CSI episode about a murder at a furry singles event. Rather scarry really. But to each his/her own.

    And as for our unfortunately monikered friend, I too promise to never use your acronym.

    Oh, this thread turned out much funnier than I thought it would.

    LOL... yeah "fluffy" is one way to describe what marriage and a desk job has done to me (and pasta and Ben'n'Jerry's and pizza...)

    "fuzzy" fits too, as in I stay up too late on the computer and I have a 4-month-old who occasionally doesn't sleep thru the night.

    OCCASIONALLY? My daughter didn't sleep thru the night for like 8 months! Now she's 13, so she will probably soon start keeping me awake at night for other reasons. :-(

    Last year my daughter figured out why her brother has the room over the carport roof.
    Enjoy your sleep while you can.
