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.

That's why I bought myself a name change token for my 2 year LJ versary. I thought I would *never* use LJ so I just recycled the username I had used on a few BBS's back in 9th and 10th grade. Yeah. It was bad.

...Now I really, really want to know what your old user name was.

Also, I'm thinking this is definitive proof that people should never be allowed to name themselves, a la Picabo Street. We will inevitably fuck it up.

It's a good thing we decided to paint our dining room RaisinTorte. :-)

And now I also want pictures of your dining room, actually.

It's not a secret - it was Control_Freak80. My high school user name was controlfreak. Except I couldn't get that on LJ so I added the numbers and an _.

And now I also want pictures of your dining room, actually.

I'll post them when we're done. We've set aside 4 weekends to paint so far and every time something work or family related has happened. We're probably going to wait until the fall so we can have the windows open while we do it.
