You get a cookie for that.
I was "compelled" to shorten my previous username - I was stretching some people's tiny screens or something. At that time, I posted so little, I'd had the name for like a half year before any complaints were raised. There I was, settled in too.
I still remember years ago when you posted that picture of you with a cowboy hat on sippin a milkshake, Windy
Eh, just not that important. I've been here almost 6 years, wouldn't consider myself "popular". Certainly never make any of the lists. Not overly concerned about it, though, as this is for entertainment and to kill boredom, a supplement to, rather than replacement for, real life.
I'm blunt, can be a dick at times, and instead of playing the overly compassionate person in some threads, I tell it like I see it, giving my opinion or some brutally honest advice rather than what the poster wants to hear. Some hate me for it, or think little of me. Others like me for exactly the same reasons. Meh, can't please them all. And since I'm not playing a character here, no reason to adjust what I'm doing.
Other than having a few trolls that follow me occasionally, I steer clear of both people's good lists and bad, which is pefect!

EDIT: RoJoHen, you oughta' get yourself some cookies, too. They really work!

I'm currently eating a protein bar. If I close my eyes really tight I can almost pretend that it's a cookie.JonathonWally, you have an impressive memory! Here, have the whole packet of cookies.

Got me humming: 2000 - Pulp "And you were so popular... Deborah do you recall..."
I'm a lot less of a fan of hers once I found out that she was the basis of the Hariet character on Studio60...
Somewhat ironic but not entirely unexpected that this thread has become quite popular...
Plus, at Uni our radio station played that song a LOT. Not the easiest song to identify, I'll admit to that - the melodies and harmonies shift quite a bit during each verse.
Me, I'm not really comfortable with being the centre of everyone's attention at all. I just do the sort of things here that I want to do (whether with disastrous results or otherwise), and if anyone wants to pick up the ball and run with it, then fine, there's room on the horse for two (or more).
As to whether you're a man or a woman, RoJoHen, some time ago I had a discussion with some people in my lounge and it transpired that some didn't know whether I was a man or a woman, with a few getting my gender wrong. Well, for those who still don't know, I'll still keep you guessing.
I like that song, a bit.
You're not popular with me.
You, however, are now EXTREMELY popular with me.
How on earth you got that from the mangled lyrics I misremembered is beyond me - it's been bugging me for the last half hour or so. Thank you!

I can empathise with that - I used to use a high school nickname online, seeing as it could be seen as a womans name, a lot of people thought I was female.
I'd guess male. Mainly as my first thought is female - largely due to the very attractive lady in your avatar.
Ah, the old double-double-bluff avatar gambit strategy. Could still be a sly ruse.As to whether you're a man or a woman, RoJoHen, some time ago I had a discussion with some people in my lounge and it transpired that some didn't know whether I was a man or a woman, with a few getting my gender wrong.

I think you must be a girl.
This is because, girls don't seem to mind if they're mistaken for a male online. A lot of guys, like RoJoHen, however, seem to take exception to it. Something to do with being perceived as sissy most probably... whereas a girl might not assume anything as to why the mistake happened... and if she did, she might think she appeared strong-willed or something - and there's nothing negative to that.
Interesting, anyway.

Well that, and everyone on the internet is male until proven otherwise.
This whole forum thought I was a girl for the first year and a half of my posting on it. Some of them kept referring to me as female for years after that just for the hell of it. It didn't bother me that much. 
I just want the right people to like me. And they do. So I'm pleased.

then you went and changed your username to Iris so didn't do much to discourage the whole "not a girl" myth.
