bev! @TonicBH@computerfairi.es

@mavica this but in the paul blart mall cop font

listening to a Quadraphonic mix of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and The Great Gig in the Sky couldn't be a more fitting mood right now

@mavica bev is fine, yes

Right, need to stop being hesitant and experiment with things, so let's give this a shot

For a while I'm gonna try out the name in my profile. See if it fits, that sort of thing.

If you're used to my online handle, it's okay if you still call me Tonic. I'm not gonna enforce it too much.

@mavica understandable. perhaps I'm worrying about this too much and should just give it a try

and I haven't even thought of the legal name change stuff at this stage

Lately I've been thinking about my name and how I wanna go by online.

Almost everywhere it's either my online handle (Tonic) or my given name (B.J.), which is basically my real name but in initials.

I've been trying to think of women's names that fit my initials and I seem to lean towards "Beverly."

It's better than my actual first name, but I keep feeling like it's too old-fashioned.

Picking names is hard.

update: underground 80s is now playing hard times.

this doesn't surprise me in the least

I should play a new game after abandoning Far Cry 4 but I'd rather play the nap game instead 😪

That moment when you realize your blog theme and color makes links hard to see in posts.

Thank goodness I figured out how to put underlines on a link. And I'm not even good at CSS/HTML stuff.

@mavica that's a good outfit 💜

Listening to SomaFM's Underground 80s station has made me aware that the Jetzons did more than Hard Times and I'm here for it

@mavica this is good advice, thank you

@BatElite well any Sonic character could apply, really

I'm probably weird but I will always appreciate any art where the character has a simple design but their shoes are *highly* detailed

@Jo This is a fascinating thing to hear about and now I want to know more
