[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Flying Ford Anglia - why? Origin of Names...lol

[Denise R]

I myself didn't even have HP to rely on~grins...


My own GypsyCaine comes from Gypsy Caine, aka Gypsy Canessa (it's her pseudo
for writing stories such as those for children--Goosebumps).  This is my
first Vampire the Masquerade character.

I used her because, the same as Neil, each of the names I entered came back
taken, and I became exasperated, then thought of trying that as I didn't
think anyone else would have it.

If you ever see any other GC's out there, let me know immediately, ok?
Grins...

I'm GC at Juno, at Hotmail, at Yahoo, at AOL, etc. etc. etc.

At least it's never taken.  Grins...

The zany one.

(Who prolly should put a trademark on GC just in case Stouffer writes more
books....lol)
