Okay, I know the tack I SHOULD take, but I also know that I don't WANT to take it. Please kick me in the ass.

I have a pro blog. It is not friended to anyone yet (except one person who will just have to deal.) I made last.fm, twitter, delicious, musicbrainz, shelfari, and tumblr accounts based on the name of that journal, but only the last.fm has exactly the same name. There is also a plus lj based on the name, for hosting background photos. Additionally, this journal is linked to my real name.

The name of the journal is based on a very obscure song lyric; it's not impossible to figure out, but it's also not part of the main vocal track so it's harder to hear than not.

AFTER I set everything up, I googled the name. There are several other users of the same name in different fora; the google hits list me three times (last.fm, lj, lj profile page) and then list an article entitled something like "Fuck the FCC in its ass" about the FCC fining a college radio station for playing a Scorsese interview that included fuck. There's also a MySpace, and a few other things. Obviously, none of these are mine, but there is no way to prove this that I expect anyone to spend more than two seconds on.

Therefore: a poll!

[Poll #1288195]

Ahaha, I'm the only one so far. It totally skewed my thoughts when I looked at the results though. I was like, wow! Everyone agrees with me! No, no they don't. I'm just an idiot.

And yet, everyone (all two people) STILL agree with you across the board!

I think I will make a new setup. Now I just have to figure out what to call all of it. Yergh. And it's not like I'm just going through the whole "THIS MUCH BE ANONYMISED" thing that I did with this journal, since I expect my name to turn that journal up, but I'd like the name to either be something so mundane that no one will ever assume that I am all exponents or else something really unique.

Unfortunately, my super unique username is sixteen characters. *smites*

Google first, register later. :/

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I either need something completely mundane that no one will ever assume I could be all of, or I need something totally unique. And matching creation dates/emails should also help.

You should use morningofthewar because it's a fucking amazing name.
