    The reason for mine is really boring - the first part is my hubby's name (with a y added for good measure ;) ) and the second part (Lou) is my name.

    My avatar just sums me up perfectly :rotfl:
    A MASSIVE thank you to everyone who posts comps :beer:
  • I chose Cheerfulness because I was always called Smiler growing up and my husband said it was the first thing that attracted me to him. Also I love the flower by the same name.

    My avatar sums me up perfectly, too. Unfortunately! :o

  • I was a fan of The Mighty Boosh when I signed up and I'm not very imaginative haha. I think most would assume I'm a man from my username as well. Oh well :D

    Haha, I automatically build up an image of people in my head too based on their usernames, pics, siggies and the way they talk on the forums as well :)
    My username is dinglefoot because it's a nickname my Grandad, (RIP), used to call me when I was a toddler...I like to hope it'll be a lucky charm. My pic is of my beautiful rescue cat Cassie who is snuggled up next to me watching a bakery programme. I adopted her two weeks ago this Sunday and love her to bits :)
