divacurlz: the pseudonym.

since i was in hi skool, i've always called myself a divastar. but everyone keeps taking my damn word and i want to know why. seriously party people. i invented it. divastar is like sasha fierce's older, badass sister. she's totally fabulous and chic, yet down-to-earth like people always say about stars in their vanity fair and playboy interviews.

so on the dating site i'm on, there are 14 ladies whose username is "divastar" of some variation. everything from "divastar" with "wtf" to "divastarchild." so because i refuse to do some variation of divastar on the dating site, i decide on this:

divacurlz.

why divacurlz? because maybe it kicks divastar in the ass. maybe it's anything but the obvious. maybe it's because my hair was curly that day and i thought having diva in my username was way more important than star. either way, i get asked that question all the time by men. of course my pic as you can see has my straight hair. i don't usually put a curly hair pic on there.

i'm thinking of changing my username to "starchild" to pay homage to jamiroquai but i'd rather not deal with the questions, i'm not too witty when it comes to sarcastic responses...

but the online dating pseudonym is interesting since it totally makes everyone question why they picked what they picked. i mean seriously, if you have a pseudonym that reads something like "what yr looking for" or "totallyradjim," i'm not feeling it. if you quote a movie character name that's awesomely bad, i'll think about whether or not i'm feeling it. either way there's the question of how you picked it. so at least you have an idea of how i picked mine.

so one of the first emails i received when i joined a second dating site was from a gross older man (who looked like someone's dad) whose pseudonym on this site (not on another site, but i'll get to that) had the reference of being a golfer and a nurse in it. this guy totally wrote to me and to make a long story short told me he built these fucking machines for bdsm.

now considering i didn't know what the whole acronym meant, i went to wikipedia to find out. holy crap. that was way more informative than anyone could ever ask for. i'll tell you what though, telling this story to other people was fascinating. since i've never seen it, someone said "oh like burn after reading." i guess. well this guy totally did that. gotta admire his honesty, but that was such a banana sandwich and i mean crazy!

now one would think, "if he's saying this in his first email to someone, then he MUST put this on his profile." so i go look. guess what? nothing. not a damn thing! oh did i mention he sent me a link to his youtube channel where he has demonstrations (not with people but just turning it on) of how his "machines" work. and his username on youtube? it's referencing master (since he so kindly pointed out to me in the email that he's a "dom") and his first name. if you've been on this site, apparently every woman gets an email from him.

i wish his name on the dating site (not the youtube) was the master + first name. i think that would've made me laugh more than golfer + nurse.
