In an outside conversation,s someone mentioned that I must have chosen my screen name because I had the "hots" for Julian (JP). They were fairly surprised when I answered, "No".
That got me wondering how other people came up with their screen names.
The truth is that someone ELSE came up with my screen name. The guy I was with BEFORE the husband guy bore a striking resemblance to JP and more specifically to JULIAN. Steve, was 6 foot and change tall, with dark hair, light eyes and a killer body...specifically his chest and arms. He also sported a goatee...which I was none to fond of at the time. He was also a major gear head! That guy LOVED cars, fast cars, old fast cars, new fast cars....he loved cars. He also loved his Labatt's Blue. Anytime I saw him outside (usually working on a car), or we went out, he got a can of Labatt's Blue. His hair was shorter, he often time wore those "gas station" attendant type shirts and always had sunglasses on the top of his head...and his eyes were green, not blue...he still looked VERY Julian-eaque.
ANYWAY, he worked with my now husband's best friend so that's how I met my husband but when I was with Steve, there were THREE of us in the relationship. Steve, me and his freakin' car! I swear to gawd, that car was his wife and I was the mistress. It got old quick. (Steve didn't have "Julian's" good heart either...he wasn't mean just SO self absorbed!) So, when we started watching the show, the husband guy's best friend made a comment that I must like the show because Julian looks so much like Steve; that I ,in fact, probably had a huge crush on Julian and that I could be his American Girlfriend! So basically they were teasing me. It was the husband guy that actually coined the phrase, "Julian's American Girl".
The truth is, I love ALL the guys for various reasons, but if I were to have a greasy couple of hours with any of them, it would be RICKY (Robb). He is much more my type, tall with the reddish/dark blonde/light brown sorta wavy hair, blue eyes, fair skin...plus, I love funny guys. I've often thought about changing my screen name to just JAG, but I don't know how...
SO that is my story. Anyone else got one?
