I’m guessing that the no real names thing is due to the fact that people can find what you wrote (so it’s more for your own protection than the site’s), so i guess first names are fine (considering that there are a zillion more people that could have the same first name that you do.
That said, Joe over here (at least that’d be the english equivalent, Joseph). As for a face… well, people have told me that i look like wally from the where’s wally book series, so there’s a face to attach to the name, lol.
Unfortunately, my name is rather uncommon (thanks mom lol) so I don’t share it because I’m paranoid.
Whenever someone shares their photo I’m happy (not in the creepy stalker kind of way,) because a face is a piece to the puzzle. I usually have to build a strong trust to share my face because…paranoia.
It pays to be cautious with what you share. About a year ago, a user here tracked down 2 other users. She was a older woman and they were two younger guys. She was able to find them on facebook then said she had contacted their families to tell them they were on a suicise forum. She later recanted saying she hadn’t told their families but she obviously knew enough that she had indeed found their facebooks. So please be careful. And for anyone not aware, your email can be seen by anyone whos post you commented on. So it’s best to create a new email for this forum, not something with your real name or any info that can be traced to you.
I’m sure OP meant no malice. But like Whispers says, it pays to be cautious. SP used to show you other people’s email addresses, but I thought they changed it? I can’t see it on my Posts page anymore. When I click on the mailbox icon, it tells me “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.” So how many of you guys can still see the email info?
I never meant to imply she posted with malice. It’s a fun post. Just giving a bit of warning because of what has happened here before. And they changed it so it was harder to find emails but unless they changed it again in the last 2 weeks than yes you can still find the emails for those who comment on your posts.
I would never do that to any of you . I just wanted to know some names 🙂 nice to meet all of you . I’m Nicole . Well you can tell my username . I have many nick names though . Most people call me Nic . Some people call me Nikki, nicolio, Nic nak, the list goes on lol
No I think this is a sweet idea. There are a lot of awful people out there who do things out of misguided good will. I could potentially injure many of us on here, especially those who may have lives that this sort of “untoward” thing could negatively affect.
Although I have no idea who would give a ripe fuck about a data analyst being suicidal. They’d just look at my job and think “well figures, look what she does for a living”.
@nicole123: I absolutely love being a data analyst. Numbers can’t break my heart. They are exactly what they are. I love love love just falling into a large data set, the bigger the better, 10,000 plus points of information or bigger. I spend days plugged in looking for patterns. The patterns lead me to possible anomalies. I’m breathless just thinking about the possibilities. Find what you love and make money at it. You’ll never work a day in your life. I didn’t fall into this profession until I was in my 40’s although I’ve always loved stats and logic. The really interesting thing is I started out life as a fine arts major, with dreams of having a gallery showing in NYC. Life leads me to what I need, never what I want.
I would also say Nicole, that the numbers are what has kept me from just complete despondency. Lately work has been slow, which is why I fell into a pit of black awful in October. Some would say yippeeee nothing to do and you get paid, I say OH NO, because having nothing to do causes me to think and feel. And gosh how I hate to feel.
Numbers make my head hurt . I’m in a trig course right now actually and I’m good at it but I don’t know why. Numbers and math are so perfect . It freaks me out.
I have a Psychology degree with a minor in asian studies and about 4 semesters away from a fine arts degree. I kept taking jobs and growing them into what I wanted to do plus I studied on the side. If you asked me when I was 21 what I wanted to do with my life I would never had admitted that this was my dream but I secretly fantasized about doing things like this because I always wanted to be smart. I never felt smart. Then one day I decided to just say fuck it and totally apply myself. To my utter shock I got straight A’s. I will also add this took a lot of years, 1 marriage and 1 baby to attain. I finished college at 27.
Wow that’s pretty awesome !! I really wanted to be a dentist . Then I realized that’s not what I wanted to do . So I took dental assisting . Now I’m almost done and I want it as a part time job through college . Then for the past couple months I really thought I wanted to be a forensic dentist . Like someone who deals with burnt victims or old bones . Teeth are like finger prints , they are all unique . I like forensic science . But I’ve been thinking about computers lately . Technology intrigues me . But I love science . They both go hand in hand I guess. There are so many careers . I don’t know what I love yet
Awe i so am looking forward to the idea in my mind coming out onto paper. Though when i do get the energy i will do it. I just cant decide do a draw whisker or kat with whiskers running through and away from the letters

I think so too! I love faces
Im matt and I’m a skinny looking stick. Im tall too
Nice to meet you too nicole! I really liked your pics of the beach too the other day
I can’t share my name. Its rather unique as well. Skinny short dark blondesh pixie cut hair. Tan from the summer.
I’m so intrigued to know it now Hazy. But respect that you can’t share it.
Jake my real name is Jacob but I really prefer Jake
Thomas. Only my aunts call me Tommy, but y’all can call me Tom as in “OM NOM NOM” not “tumm” like you Spams usually do.
A few of my posts have my ugly mug, so you can check there if curiosity gets the better of you.
Hey Jake!
Hey Tom.
Felicitations.
What is felicitations?
How a weirdo says “hello, I’m weird”.
Kazzinator
(not my name)
starts with K though
traaa laaa
Really interested in your name too. Not interestested in life. But I like Kazzinator
I am weird myself, tom, and I like reading what you write

This is very true but I don’t think Nicole is acting with malice plus most of the ones commenting are adults
I agree. I wish I could share my name. Mean people suck.

And why is my comment awaiting moderation? Argh
They used to show IP address which wigged me the fuck out. It doesn’t any more.

Mean ppl do suck
I’m Albert. Tall, brown eyes, beard, that’s it haha.
PS: I really liked your photos of the beach.
I have a unique name as well, but it starts with an E.
Eggshell! Where have you been I’ve been looking for you!!!
LOL I don’t think I’d have lasted this long if that was my name
You would just do a work around, have people call you E or ES. You would persevere despite a name that would cripple a lesser person.
I would never do that to any of you . I just wanted to know some names 🙂 nice to meet all of you . I’m Nicole . Well you can tell my username . I have many nick names though . Most people call me Nic . Some people call me Nikki, nicolio, Nic nak, the list goes on lol
I like nik nac..! Its a good nickname
Haha I know it’s silly!!

i=it. I would never do anything to injure anyone on here. It goes against everything I am.
Is being a data analysist really that depressing ? I feel like my head would explode lol

I think i want to be a data analyst! Or something data.

you can do it all. Most people make major career changes at least 4 times in their lives. I never stop learning.
I love forensics and science and computers . but no degree or skills
Don’t need a degree. Just start at the ground. Sometimes finding a job at the state is the best way to start.
Mine’s too uncommon to share.
So I just go by “Kat” on here. Or whiskered.
Hi kat! But i do like your username. I was going to draw something with your username . havnt had the energy to draw yet though
Hey, Matt. Thanks for the compliment.
And don’t worry about having no energy, it’s the thought that counts.
Awe i so am looking forward to the idea in my mind coming out onto paper. Though when i do get the energy i will do it. I just cant decide do a draw whisker or kat with whiskers running through and away from the letters
