So for about a year now my parents and I have all been using aol.com for our email. They've been wanting to get rid of it for a long time, but because I have been using it as well, we would all have to change together. This past week, my AOL email got hacked into and someone sent some poor strangers various emails from my account advertising everything from the acai berry to prescription drugs. So...after many years, I think about eight, I am getting rid of my old email/screenname at AOL.
When I picked my screenname, I wanted something interesting and distinct. After a lot of though, I chose "Dreaminpink09". I chose "Dreaminpink" because you could read it two ways, "Dreamin' pink" or "Dream in pink". To me, it kind of played on the idea of seeing things through rose colored glasses. It's just seeing things in a positive light, keeping a positive outlook regardless of what might be going on around me.
I don't know that I told anyone that that's where I came up with that name...no reason why not really. And why did I choose "09"? For some reason 9 is my favorite number and I liked "09" better than just a "9" on the end. So now you know where "Dreaminpink09" came from...
It is a sad farewell to say goodbye to a screenname and email that I've had for so long. Everyone knows that email address...everyone knows I'm "Dreaminpink". I'm actually kind of sad to get rid of it. That sounds silly, but it had a whimsical, fun quality about it. My initials with my last name are not whimsical, fun, or cute, they're practical, they're adult...I guess so am I?
