Me, Myself, and I

[thefourthvine]

This is one of my periodic attempts to keep my various internet selves all organized and accounted for. (It doesn't work, but I think the effort is what counts, don't you?) So, if for some reason you want to find me somewhere else:

I'm thefourthvine on InsaneJournal.

I'm thefourthvine (just for variety) on GreatestJournal, and I'm also keeping an off-site backup of my LJ posts there. (Thanks for the kick in the ass to do that, brown_betty. And if anyone else is wondering how to do it, and do it easily, I used Betty's helpful instructions.)

I'm thefourthvine (Look, I don't like change, okay?) on GoodReads, where I'm experimenting with reviewing some of the published stuff I read. Notes: these are not considered, thoughtful reviews, they are not consistently positive reviews (or even consistently not frothing at the mouth reviews), and at this point they're also pretty haphazard; I've just been clicking around until I feel the urge to review coming over me. Also, I'm brand-new to the GR thing, and I'm making mistakes; people who have already friended me there have been spammed with reviews of older books. I've figured out how not to do that now. But other mistakes are inevitable. Join me now and you can point and laugh! (And tell me what to read, too. That would be nice.) ETA: I really am entertainingly new to this. Apparently I'm TFV, not thefourthvine, on GoodReads. Perhaps I should change my name to "easily confused by text boxes."

I'm thefourthvine (Consistency is a virtue. It's a foolish consistency that's the hobgoblin of little minds, thank you very much.) on IMEEM, too.

And I'm sometimes littera_abactor right here on LJ. (Well, I had to have one different name. It's a rule. I think. I, uh, kind of lost the Official Internets Rulebook, v. 3897.144. Please don't tell on me.)

...And I think that's all of me. I'll look around and see if I've got any more of me lying on a virtual shelf somewhere, though.

Soon: a return to actual recommending! Probably! Or maybe meta! Content, is my point. (Oh, content, how I've missed you.)

ETA2: And cofax7 and bluevsgrey have reminded me that I'm TFV on del.icio.us. Apparently I need skilled professionals to help me keep track of myselves. This can't be a good sign.

My username has a typo in it.

*cries for you*

But buck up! I totally thought it was intentional. It's not like this one user name I saw recently, in which the person named herself after a (presumably favorite) character and spelled the character's name wrong. That is a really woeful user name typo.

But in eight years you accumulate a lot of accounts and it's not like I'd *ever* be able to change it now.

I know. And at least, with my user name, there's the advantage that no one else wants it; it is untaken on every system I have ever tried. Dorky but unique, that's my user name. (...That's also me, come to think of it. No wonder I'm so attached to this name.)

also, that typo apparently makes it spell the Sindarin word for "Beloved", so now various LotR fangirls keep trying to use it too.

See, now, that is just not fair. If you have a dorky user name, then at the very least it should be easy to get it everywhere you go. (But this does give you an excellent cover story, should you ever need to explain your user name in company where you need to be cool.)
