NEW USERNAME. I DID IT.

Jun 04, 2012 15:31

Finally took the plunge (aw, for the second time this year) and changed my name from Olivejuice_Icon to something that means a lot to my husband and I- lavanille. Vanille is the scent he's bought me for my birthday every year since we've been together. I wore it when I got engaged, married, & on our honeymoon ( Read more... )

Aw, that's so sweet. I'm so sorry about your best friend. I can't imagine how hard that must have been. This sounds weird, but I honestly don't think I'd be able to handle having a screenname that reminded me of someone precious who I lost. I don't know how you were able to go on LJ without being a bit depressed by that sort of reminder, but you totally have my admiration for it. I hope it's that much more reinvigorating now to always see a name that reminds you of a wonderful relationship that's alive and strong whenever you go on LJ.

Also, you have excellent taste. Vanilla is the best. Why'd you go with the French translation? (Unless it's also used in another probably romantic language, which I am too lazy/ have too dead of a laptop to check.)

I've talked about Julie a few times, but haven't in a few years. Just to sort of let you in on the importance of it all ( ... )

That's a very touching story. I think it's wonderful you were able to go speak with the guy. You probably helped him heal. {{HUGS}}

I think I may have been a small part. I do know he went on to become a firefighter & got married. I find myself thinking about him during September a lot, along with Julie's family. :)

Thank you so much dear.

LOL! I'M GLAD YOU DIDN'T OR ELSE I'D BE IN YOUR VOTE CURSING MYSELF. ;)

I wish permanent accounts were available. My paid account gets renewed this month. Uh, LJ earned $35 of mine this month. Lucky bastards.

It's moreso a mixture of Spanish & French now. LOL! Vanille is I assume French for Vanilla (the bottle that I got the inspiration from was in all French and made in France) and La was inspiration from....enchilada sauce that my family calls me every blue moon- La Victoria.

Vanilla Enchiladas sounds gross. What was I thinking? LMAO!

OMG! It's you!
I was confused who is the new mod on the 20in20 comms! :D

I love your new name and I love what it means to you :) .

LOL- I didn't take into account what the namechange would mean. I'm pretty sure people are wondering who this lavanille is. I even am still writing olivejuice_icon every once in a while and having to catch myself last second. Hehe!

;P Hopefully I'm not too confusing to everyone else.

No, indeed. *hugs* :D
If your write in your comms a small message (like the small BTW in the Keira comm) then it's okay :) .
