The Name:  Gavitygirl


Every once in a while on the WW 100+ board, someone does a poll.  How did you come up with your screen name?  What does it mean?  This is my favorite poll of ALL TIME! 

IT IS A TYPEO!!!!

That is right.  I'm not really Gavitygirl.  I wanted to be Gravitygirl.  You know, gravity.  That force of nature that keeps us all right here on planet Earth and not flying out into space.  Since I first arrived on the internet scene in 1997, I have almost always had the screen name Gravity.  Or Gravitygirl if Gravity is already taken.  Not GAVITY.  What the hell is gavity anyway?

I was so excited when I was signing up for WW online, that I made a typo.  The funny part of this whole thing is that Jim and I always call typos "Fat Finger Errors!"  So here I am signing up for WW and I have a Fat Finger Error.  It took me a while to realize it.  I kept trying to sign in with Gravitygirl and kept getting the error message.  When I figured it out, I was MORTIFIED!  Every time I thought about it, I thought FAT FINGER ERROR!  AHHHHHH! 

I contacted the tech support folks.  Since my credit card info was already tied to Gavitygirl, they couldn't change it.  I could either let it expire and sign up again (and loose all of my saved info) or just create a free account for posting on the message boards.  Which I did.  But got tired very quickly of changing log ins all of the time. 

So Gavitygirl it is.  Fat Finger Error and all.
