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.

Just like yourself: I am just going to have a flist! So I can read my friends' locked posts! I will never post anything!

God, there should be a clear warning posted on the registration page about this, judging from all the people who have had this problem. (Although I guess we can't really complain that no one protected us from our own stupidity and denial. Wait, no, I totally can. WATCH ME.)

Now I have an idiotically long username that no one can spell, just like my real name.

Um. At least you're...consistent? *tries to look on the bright side*

(And, actual bright side: I would not have identified your user name as one of the "What was I thinking?" ones. So it looks good from out here, is my point. Although this is coming from a woman who voluntarily named herself thefourthvine, so consider the source.)

But if it makes you feel any better, if you don't know your real name, "thefourthvine" sounds like it has mysteeeerius backstory to it, maybe from a myth or something.

This does make me feel better. I think. *considers* Yes, it does.
