The fight/arguement kept going on, and the SysOp wasn't real thrilled, so my future hubby suggested we take it to his board. I first signed in under my usual board name, then found out one of the guys I had been dating was on there too, and were no longer getting along. I emailed the SysOp of 'Darklands' (future hubby who was going by Dark Shadow at the time), told him I wanted to change my login, and I wanted something completely different and not Stevie-related, and so chose Dark Angel, which worked great when I became co-sysop of Darklands.
Only after I got online and found the Nickfix, did I find it was sort of Stevie-related (Insider).

Wow, talk about serendipitously lovely - accidently getting an Insider name.
I was like "It's so cool at least one person has an "Insider" name". But no.

Oh, and my name is Amber. Coincidentally, so is Stevie's dawtah born a gemini. *worst song ever*

I always call you Suzie Quzie. I think it sounds cute.

Now, the origins of Smacdoug are a lot clearer. It was a screen name assigned to me when I was going to Sinclair Community College (my FIRST screen name), and I decided to use it for my AOL account. In fact, I'm STILL Smacdoug on Yahoo!

God there were some NASTY flames in that room!

I remember one in particular where this guy came in and started talking smack about how Grand Funk Railroad was god and Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac couldnt carry the ballsweat on their jocks or something like that. I dont suppose you remember that do you?

I just wanted something to reflect where I come from and I figured any other migrated kiwi would immediately know, I was one of them...a tui being a native bird of NZ and indeed my wee avatar..( and not some DEMON thing, thankyou "cough" Christy "cough"..hahaha)

It still looks like a gargoyle or some demon thingy if you look at it from my POV.

I see it's a bird now though.

Thanks, I like that! A lot of people said they read it that way when I talked to them in Vegas. I'll take it!

If I would have thought about it more carefully, I could have chosen Whattsamattababy?

All I have to say is THANK GOD I am not the only one who never noticed Skcin was Nicks backwards

.

My name - well it's actually more than just 2 of my favorite Stevie songs together (Bombay Sapphires and Sisters of the Moon, duh). When I signed up for The Ledge I never intended to become an active member of the forum, I was just looking for someone who had a Vegas DVD to trade but obviously I decided to stick around. I honestly gave no thought to my name but in retrospect I've fallen in love with it and it's very me.

As I said it's not only 2 of my favorite songs together but sapphire is my birthstone and one of my most precious possessions is a sapphire and gold pinky ring my grandmother gave me when I was about 7. I also love the word "sister" and often call my close friends sisters as well as women I admire.
