Mine: I used to hang out with a small group of MTurk workers who were, well, prolific users of alcohol. I would always be reminding them to take Tylenol and drink electrolytes before going to bed to reduce a hangover. I got to be known as the electrolytes girl for always pushing electrolytes on people. At some point, I changed my nick from my real first name to electrolyte. And my avatars are always some rainbow-y thing because I collect rainbow-y things.

Love Muppet was what my BFF from HS used to call me. We had pet names for each other, but because I'm old and have kids now, I can't remember what name I gave to her. In my defense, she doesn't remember either. It probably wasn't as awesome as mine.

My avatar is a ghost screaming "woooool" because wool is awesome and fuzzy and a wonderful thing to knit and crochet with. Duh.

Mine's pretty complicated. m is the first letter in my first name. Boone is my last name. 73 is a reference to the year I was born.

The pig doesn't mean I'm a farmer, but rather a reference to my favorite band.

If you haven't found it yet, the crafty thread has quite a few knitting/crochet/wool dying posts: http://www.mturkcrowd.com/threads/i-made-this-crafty-things.143/

Username is my initials

My avatars are usually kpop singers or japanese wrestlers because those are my not-so-guilty pleasures. One time when I changed my avatar to something else geo @geo yelled at me because it threw her off so I've stuck with that theme ever since

I don't have a very interesting story. I was just looking for something that was me but different from what I've used elsewhere. I remembered this pic which I've always loved:



It was my first avi and since I love owls and coffee: coffeeowl was a natural fit. My current avi is an incognito owl since my recent dark past with possible (not really) prison time in a 3-month absence earlier this year. I've also used actresses drinking coffee as avatars. So I am always a coffee gal or an owl.

I thought it was because electrolytes are what plants crave.
