I'm not dying or anything...I'm just rebranding...

I will now go by a new name, and have a new avatar...

I felt it necessary to start a thread to warn you so that no one gets a fright...

Are you ready?

      it's ok...I'm easing you in...it'll be great!
    2. MissSuzie
      Just as long as I know it's you.
  1. melindaville
    SiuilARuin--I hope your new name is a little easier to spell! But congrats on the reinvention. Sometimes we all need to reinvent ourselves.
    1. Epicharis
      no promises on the spelling thing...
    2. melindaville
      Why am I not surprised?
  2. Agit8r
    wow... huh?

    good luck
    1. Epicharis
      you started out as isosomethingorother didn't you?
    2. Agit8r
      yes. "Isonomist"

      i was asked to change it by another Isonomist (who never posts anything here ) that's ok, Agit8r seems to fit now
  3. Floormodel
    I love a good reincarnation, will we have to guess who the new you is?
    1. Epicharis
      I imagine it'll be fairly obvious when this thread suddenly ceases to be blue rose dominated...
  4. blackwater
    Interesting.
  5. Stillthinking
    Siuil is morphing into the 11th doctor.
    1. Epicharis
      dammit! how did you know?!
    2. Shiley
      Huh? What's the 11th doctor?
    3. Stillthinking
      The 11th incarnation of the Doctor as in Doctor Who, the greatest science fiction television show ever.
    4. wagerwitch
      With ST - it's gotta be Dr. WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo


      Girl... dincha know?
  6. timethief
      I'm ready - go for it! MORPH!
  7. celticmusicfan
    sure ! show us
  8. Epicharis
    We are currently experiencing technical difficulties. Thank you for your patience.
  9. Agit8r
    It is kinda like when those crazy jesusfreaks change their names from... like... Piyush, to... say... Bobby

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Jindal
  10. gtally
    (Hyperventilates into a paper bag).

    No please no. I don't handle change well...

    I need to lie down for awhile.
    1. Agit8r
      'cause it makes your hands smell all metallic?
    2. Floormodel
      I hate that smell, smells all rubber bandy
  11. Epicharis
    Here goes...
    1. Epicharis
      hehe...drumroll followed by the inevitable anticlimax of a technical hitch...
    2. Floormodel
      we laughed but I'm easily distracted so I figured I'd just use that one.
  12. Epicharis
    *realises she doesn't know how to change her username* any help?
    1. Stillthinking
      under edit profile, top of the page.
    2. Epicharis
      That's just the name that comes up on your profile page...I've got it now though, it involves an email to admin so I'll change without warning whenever they get round to it! The excitement!
    3. Stillthinking
      Are you not rolling out the new avatar until the new name appears?
  13. cathy13
    Ooooooooooooh, I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!

    Are you coming back as Michael Jackson?
  14. Rory
    But why!?!?!?! The blue rose is what we've come to associate with Suil ... SiuA ...

    DAMMIT!!! How the hell do you pronounce that bloody name. You know what? You should really think about changing your account name to something easier.

    1. wagerwitch
      You pronounce it sorta like this: Shoola Rune..
  15. cathy13
    we are waiting with baited breath (sounds fishy...sorry couldn't help myself)
    1. Epicharis
      hahaha! Well...it's not up to me anymore...it all depends on when the admins check their email and transform me!
  16. cathy13
    Damn!
    I hate waiting!
    1. Epicharis
      me too...I was all psyched (woah, 90s!) and now it's taking aaaaggggeees!
  17. Anok
    Oooh will it be the naughty version of you? Will you be wearing boots?

    Are these questions creeping you out?
    1. Epicharis
      ha! You and I both know I only wear combat boots...
    2. Anok
      *happy dance*



      So, uh, when's you gonna valmorphasize?
    3. Epicharis
      at the full moon
  18. Stillthinking
    Alright, I'm done for today. Am I going to recognize you tomorrow???
    1. Rory
      We don't recognize YOU anymore!!
    2. Epicharis
      I will be shrouded in mystery...
    3. Stillthinking
      This is my kitty cat. She was my avatar until about 4 weeks ago. Most BC'ers sighed a little sigh of recognition when she came back.
    4. Epicharis
      not me...I miss Bette!
    5. Anok
      I like the kitty, too
    6. cathy13
      How is she doing?
    7. Stillthinking
      She's doing OK. In fact, she's doing pretty darn well. She's fully recovered from surgery and is acting pretty much like her old self. The vet said that the tumors will return as it is pretty aggressive cancer, but I am thankful for everyday I have left with her.
    8. Rory
      Wow ... I thought it was a face that had black makeup on one side and white (with black around eye) on the other. The frilly green stuff looks like hair.

      Man, I've got to get off those psychotropic drugs!
    9. Stillthinking
      Your kitty freaks me out a little too. Mine is just giving herself a bath while sitting on a green pillow.
    10. wagerwitch
      I thought it was an African mask at first too... Just FYI - at first it was kinda scary - then one day my laptop slid a little to the side and I saw CALICO (or sorta calico) kitty!!! Yay!

      LOL!

      It was a strange transformation of sorts.

      Sliding off my lap like that.
  19. ThriftShopRomantic
    This is the longest transformation I've ever seen.

    I mean, larvae have turned into caterpillars and cocooned and gone into butterflies already.

    AND migrated.
    1. Epicharis
      hahaha! Alright...I'll change my avatar and the name will just have to change at random!
    2. ThriftShopRomantic
      Okay-- ease us into it, whoever you are.
  20. cathy13
    You have inspired me....I think I will post a new avatar to depict my truer self.
    1. Epicharis
      love it!
  21. cathy13
    How do you like the NEW ME?
    My Husband loves it

    BTW how do you pronounce your name?
    1. Epicharis
      siuil a ruin is pronounced shool a roon (kinda)
    2. gtally
      Shool a Roon? I thought it See-ool Ah Roo-In!
    3. Anok
      Oh, see, I was thinking it was sue-will A roo-in.
    4. Epicharis
      hahaha! clearly I should have started a thread telling you all how to say my name a while ago...ah well, too late now!
    5. gtally
      Thanks, Soo-ey Roowin!
    6. wagerwitch
      Jumps up and down --- I know -- I know --- I know how ya gots yer name!!!

      LOL!

      Can I tell - Can I tell?
    7. hatingtherain
      Is it Gaelic?
    8. Epicharis
      haha! erm...depends what you're going to tell them...

      and yes, it is Gaelic
  22. cathy13
    Is that you?
    1. ThriftShopRomantic
      You gals are killin' me... Can't keep up with the ch-ch-ch-changes...
  23. Anok
    Is that a sarcastic "yeah, sure I'm listening" or an honest "OK I hear you" pose?
    1. Epicharis
      actually it's the drunk and dancing pose
    2. Anok
      I like drunken dancing!
  24. celticmusicfan
    this looks better!
  25. Epicharis
    I'm still undecided though....help me choose between that one and this one...
    1. Epicharis
      nah...way too happy
    2. cathy13
      OH WE LOVE THIS ONE!
      You are a beauty....and so young too!
    3. Sam1982
      What dance are you doing exactly?
    4. Epicharis
      it's easy to look a beauty when you have control over what pic you put up! You should see the pics of me dancing to MC Hammer...those are bad pictures..
  26. MissSuzie
    I like it! I like it!

    Not that my opinion matters.
    1. Epicharis
      Well I'm glad you didn't get upset!
    2. cathy13
      I like the other picture....sorry
    3. Epicharis
      hehe...well I kind of wanted a side profile one...it's to match my new name
  27. celticmusicfan
    i was expecting a mohawk,nose rings and all but well you are a madam.very pretty. i like the hair.
    1. Epicharis
      well I could have put up a bald-headed pic but I have hair now so that would be misleading...
    2. cathy13
      he called you a madam....you're not are you?
    3. Epicharis
      I love how I totally missed that! I am not a madam!
    4. Sam1982
      I think he meant it in the nicest possible way
    5. Anok
      Hey! What is wrong with mowhawks, nose rings and tattoos? Hmm?
    6. celticmusicfan
      pfft nothing wrong with them either. i like women who kick ass too
    7. gtally
      Hey Siuil -- Where's that pointy haired Vulcan picture of yours?
    8. Epicharis
      lurking on my computer...you should see my hair today...I look like one of The Beatles had a love child with a Romulan...
    9. gtally
      Which Beatle? It does make a difference...
    10. Epicharis
      I suppose Paul McCartney...I am a redhead afterall...
    11. gtally
      Get out! Me too.

      Naturally, right? You're not one of those bottle jobs, are you?
    12. Epicharis
      as if I would dye my hair!
    13. gtally
      Yeah! Hear hear!
    14. cathy13
      So am I....well parts of me are !
    15. wagerwitch
      I'm a red - by the way --- NOT by choice tho... I've tried putting every other shade of dye on - and it comes back redder than ever --- it's copper red... and it stinks... Cause I can't get rid of it. I've dyed and dyed... And gone black, brown, blonde - purple... blue... and within 4 weeks - I'm freaking red again.

      My hair won't hold dye...

      AND -- to freaking top it off - I have the kind of hair that comes OUT of my head DARK BROWN... then as soon as ANY freaking SUN or Light comes out - it turns RED --- to red orange in 5 minutes... So I always... ALWAYS --- freaking ALWAYS look like I have a BAD DYE Job.

      I quit trying to convince my hair to do anything I wanted it to do. So I am just going to have to look like I can't dye my hair.... and wait until GRAY takes over...

      But --- on a very sad and honest note... My grandmother still had red hair at 75.
    16. cathy13
      @WW use an ash based colour as it will neutralize red.
    17. wagerwitch
      Yeah - but the curtains HAVE to match the drapes.

      oh and I'm marrying Tim Minchin in the future... LOL!
    18. dbowles1017
      @wager- :O
    19. Epicharis
      nuh-uh! I got dibs on Minchin! I saw him perform last month and people started shouting "Will you marry me?" when he came on stage...it was so embarrassing in such a small theatre!
  28. Rory
    I like the one without your hand by your head ... feels like you're asking for an "AMEN!" ... can i get an AMEN!
    1. MissSuzie
      I like the one with the hand. Looks like she's saying "get the hell outta my face!"
    2. Epicharis
      this is getting complicated now...you'll all just have to be happy with what you've got! I had to sift through dozens and dozens of pictures to find one where I wasn't swearing at the camera!
  29. celticmusicfan
    madam=lady. that's what i mean ;P
    1. Epicharis
      well, I can't say I'm any happier about being called a 'lady' (I'm a scary shin-kicking feminist, you see) but don't worry about it
    2. cathy13
      hee hee hee!
  30. Rory
    So, is SiuilARuin your real name? And, if so, what the %!$@#*%$ does it mean???! LOL.

    (Rory is my real name)
    1. Epicharis
      siuil a ruin is the title of a folk song...by a strange coincidence my real name happens to be %!$@#*%$
    2. Rory
      Hey %!$@#*%$,

      For your info ... From Wikipedia - The title "Siúil a Rúin" translates to "go, my love"
    3. Epicharis
      I know what it means! but it is better translated as 'walk, my love'
    4. celticmusicfan
      or 'run ,my love'
    5. hatingtherain
      Is it the same song as the one the redheaded chick sings in Lord of the Dance?
  31. dosox
    Is this discussion exclusively for women?

    Alright! I have to contact Tony & co for my username too...
  32. Agit8r
    @TAFKASAR

    It took a day or two to get my username changed
    1. Epicharis
      man...well that scuppers the grand transformation!
    2. Agit8r
      from the looks of it this thread will still be going
    3. Epicharis
      I'm such an attention whore!
    4. Agit8r
      that's what blogging is all about
    5. Epicharis
      uh-oh! We've ALL been found out! damn you Agit8r!
  33. crpitt
    Have you asked admin to change your name?
    1. gtally
      Change it to "gtally." That name RAWKS!
    2. crpitt
      Erm no.
    3. Agit8r
      does sombody else have that same avatar... or am I high?
    4. Epicharis
      yeah...I emailed them...but I haven't bugged one via shoutbox...I'm too scared of them to do that!
    5. gtally
      crpitt, Agit8r -- You're just jealous.
    6. crpitt
      Just do it!
    7. Epicharis
      Who shall I annoy?
    8. Agit8r
      never mind crpitt, that was you before, hehehe... oops, I may be high after all (not really, just a little beer-buzzed)
    9. crpitt
      You have seen me twice? How many fingers am I holding up?
    10. crpitt
      I would check profiles to see which one is online now
    11. Agit8r
      "You have seen me twice? How many fingers am I holding up?"

      Touche, touche!

      ...unless you're flipping me off, cuz in the UK that's two fingers, right?
    12. crpitt
      Nope.
  34. Friday13
    What a long transformation. By the time it's done, the excitement will be gone!
    1. Epicharis
      I know...but at least I have a new face!
    2. Friday13
      That blue thing was your face?!
    3. Epicharis
      yeah, I was just born that way...I got stared at so mmuch that I decided to get the surgery...unfortunately they only managed half a face...the other side is mulch.
    4. Friday13
      Oh, my. Surgery sure has come far.
  35. Epicharis
    The new name is Epicharis by the way...in case the anticipation was getting too much for anyone!
    1. Agit8r
      oh, good... that's easier to pronounce! o_0
    2. Epicharis
      Ep-ih-ka-riss
    3. crpitt
      For gads sake.

      Just chose bob or something
    4. cathy13
      Had to look that one up!
      Man I feel so shallow now

      I'm just boobs and a pout!
    5. Epicharis
      hehe...if I suddenly got a simple name it would throw you all into confusion!
    6. crpitt
      I christen thee Bob simples
    7. Agit8r
      oh, the Christian martyr... oh wait...

      must be this one:

      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epicharis_(Pisonian_conspirator)

      no?
    8. Epicharis
      @crpitt

      nooooo! I don't want to be called Bob! I can't have only one syllable! it's just wrong!

      @agit8r

      yup, that's the one...
    9. crpitt
      Oh I think Pisonian suits you too
    10. Epicharis
      *grumble grumble*
    11. Friday13
      Bralaclava lady, don't make Bob grumble.
    12. crpitt
      What? Piss-own-eon
    13. Epicharis
      yeah yeah crapitt


    14. gtally
      That's it! Avatar changes! Unpronounceable names! I'm going to change my name to Mr Teazleweezelkins just to see how YOU like it!
    15. crpitt
      Been done before! So piss off
    16. Epicharis
      please change your name to Mr Tweazleweezelkins! PLEASE!
  36. celticmusicfan
    it looks like little by little members are gearing for better looking avatars :)this is exciting.
    1. crpitt
      We are waiting....
    2. dbowles1017
      You can't fix his...
  37. Agit8r
    I can't help noticing that TAFKASAR and i have the same hand thing going on there
    1. Epicharis
      hahaha! it's the new game...last person to do it has to drink
  38. ArsenicCookies
    I've done that. It's fun
  39. celticmusicfan
    MuireeanNiDhomnaill-that will be mine
  40. dbowles1017
    Siuil your new avatar makes it look like there are two heads. But only in the small versions on the main page
    1. Epicharis
      less confusing than yours...I always think you're standing next to a spotlight!
    2. dbowles1017
      It's the only picture I have of myself... Where I'm not flipping the camera off or doing something stupid (like limbo'ing after tequila)
    3. Epicharis
      I had the same problem...all my pics are either me swearing at the photographer or me dancing like MC Hammer...
    4. Agit8r
      It is (according to another blogger who shall remain nameless) a satanic lamp. o_0
    5. dbowles1017
      whats a satanic lamp? (not what is it, but what are you referring too)
    6. Agit8r
      rebecca whatshername in the "rapture" thread: "I knew there was something about that lamp"

      I'll dredge it up if it isn't deleted/locked
    7. dbowles1017
      I must have missed that comment. Was it the rapture thread you made?
    8. dbowles1017
      Got it. Apparently I just forgot it was mentioned
    9. Agit8r
      i didn't. bwahhahahha!
    10. dbowles1017
      I do love lamp though...
    11. Agit8r
      of course. it gives you power
    12. wagerwitch
      I thought that was "HEAD"...

      Sigh..

      Nevermind...

      Goes back to red bull... and buries head in sand.
    13. dbowles1017
      That too wager
    14. Agit8r
      damn! how much did you pay for that thing?
  41. FredSr2009
    Very interesting
  42. Selvia
    Any name or Avatar will do , as long as you are not leaving BC. Good Luck.
  43. idealpinkrose
    we'll still miss SiuilARuin and your avatar.
  44. cathy13
    Update for Shoolaroon!
    After being inspired by you to change my avatar I went from stick girl to va va va voom girl. Not a good fit so I am back to stick girl.

    Hubby agrees I am more stick girl than Jessica Rabbit..............hmmmmmm have to think about that one!
    1. legbamel
      I was wondering, after your previous "boobs and a pout" comment! Beware. I may be inspired to change my avatar for half an hour, should I get access to the external hard drive this weekend. I can't change my name though. It's as much me as my real one, by now.
    1. cathy13
      Ya, I felt a little shallow. Stick girl is more my style.

      Cool...I look forward to the new pic. I will keep an eye out!
    2. Rory
      Don't get me wrong here ... Cathy is a sex bomb of a woman!!!!! But, her Sweetumz avatar is definitely her.

    3. Anok
      Good dodge Rory
  45. Stillthinking
    Well, where is it???
    1. Epicharis
      Not my fault! Blame the slooooooow admins...
    2. Stillthinking
      Whoa, freaky avatar.
    3. ThriftShopRomantic
      Great Caesar's Ghost Doing the Macarena!.... what's happened to you?
    4. Stillthinking
      OMG. Everyone is changing their avatars. All I did was bring back the cat. Now TSR and Siuil (Sigh-Ool-Ah-Rew-in) are both freaking me out.
    5. Epicharis
      seems to be all the rage nowadays!
    6. ThriftShopRomantic
      It's avatar swapping season. And I went day-glo before Siuil turned into Invisible Girl. It was a separate initiative.
    7. Stillthinking
      TSR looks all glamorous now.
    8. ThriftShopRomantic
      Now if I could just get all my coworkers to wear infrared glasses around me all day, I'd look just super!

      Somehow, I don't think they'll go for it.
    9. Epicharis
      TSR was glamorous before! I decided to go inverted because I remembered that having my face as an avatar creeps me out a bit!
    10. ThriftShopRomantic
      I liked getting to see the gal behind the blue rose.

      Now I feel like I'm getting to see THROUGH the gal behind the blue rose.

      Awkward.
  46. MissSuzie
    @ThriftShop and Siuil: I love the new avatars!
    1. ThriftShopRomantic
      Thanks, Suzie! It's challenging to get a pic that makes any visual sense when it's practically microscopic!
    2. MissSuzie
      At least I can see your nose (a little).
    3. ThriftShopRomantic
      I think our noselessness is the trend of the future.

      Everyone will be jealous over our lack of schnoz.
    4. lotusb
      AHhhhhhh!!! Thrift shop!!! Awesome avi!!
    5. ThriftShopRomantic
      Thank ye, Lotus-- We're color-coordinated today!
    6. lotusb
      I know!! TWINS!
    7. dbowles1017
      I wanted to join in on the fun...
    8. ThriftShopRomantic
      Must we call you "Ra the Sun God" now?
    9. dbowles1017
      That's catchy. I'll have to email the admins!
  47. dsriharsha
    SiuilARuin.. whats with all this change..

    You already changed your blog.. it was a very interesting blog with your commentary, opinions and all and now you discontinue that and maintain a diary of sorts which unfortunately isn't half as interesting as your previous blog..

    Now you are changing you avatar/account and most probably come out as a different persona as well..

    Not all change is good..
    1. Epicharis
      I've just started a new opinion blog like my old one and my persona won't be changing because it is me! Just having a new name and a new look to match the new blog.
    2. dsriharsha
      good..

      so, have you turned over to the Dark side and became a Christian or are you a conspirator?
    3. Epicharis
      I feel like I've been told off!
    4. dsriharsha
      lol..
      I wouldn't be so presumptuous as to tell someone off.. personally maybe, but not publicly

    Shoon Lee Rooney, this is the slowest transformation ever.
    1. Epicharis
      I know! totally killed my buzz I sent jaybetee a shout asking if he could change it but he just quoted the FAQs back at me...so I have to wait until whoever does the name-changing checks his bloody emails!
    2. Stillthinking
      No, no, no. It's Sigh-Ool-Ah-Roo-Inn.
    3. Friday13
      Dammit, ST. I had settled for Seee-Oolah-Roo-Inn a few hours back.

      Now, I've gotta decide again!





      (reported)
    4. Stillthinking
      Maybe it's Shy-lah-Roo-Inn.
    5. Friday13
      Maybe it's Sheila-Rooey-Nnnn.
    6. Epicharis
      This reminds me of something...

    Why is every single person changing their avatar? It's change your avatar day!
    1. Epicharis
      you started it!
    2. Stillthinking
      I didn't think it would start a chain reaction. Actually, you started it! You're the one with the whole "tada!" it's a new me thread.

      No, wait. Claire started it with the bralacava!
    3. dbowles1017
      Yup its Siuil's fault (Sue all to Ruin)
    4. Stillthinking
      Shoe-all-Oh-Roon
    5. crpitt
      Claire did not start it! It was in fact Anok
    6. Stillthinking
      But Anok's avatar is still the same. No, it was Claire's fault. Trouble maker!
    7. crpitt
      She made me do it!
    8. Stillthinking
      *shakes head*

      Kids these days don't take responsibility for anything.

    Aahhh ... here we have the change your avatar thread that's destined for the front page of BC ...

    Well, I'm not changing mine, Siuil, unless you pay me big bucks to ... lol
    1. Stillthinking
      *sticks tongue out at TT*
    2. timethief
      * sprays her watergun into the cheeky face with the tongue sticking out * and cackles with glee returning the gesture
    3. Stillthinking
      *coughs* Geez, that wasn't very nice.
  51. dbowles1017
    Si-U-Ill- A- roon
    1. Stillthinking
      Si-ewe-loh-Ruh-een.
    2. Stillthinking
      oops, double post.

    *taps fingers on desk*


    Those admins are taking their time, for sure.
    1. Stillthinking
      We should have a conversation in Elfin.

      "Thil rou et renstiloen eterin senjou stil"

      Translation: How you doin?
    2. Friday13
      "Tulibu dibu douchoo"

      Translation: Not bad. You?
    3. Stillthinking
      I'm going to start a new elfin language thread. Follow me.
    4. Friday13
      If only I knew the language
  53. Agit8r
    Congrats on the successful re-brand
    1. Epicharis
      Apparently the universe didn't want me to change...even when I got to the top of the queue they couldn't find my account!
    2. Agit8r
      when did your changeover finally take place?

      am I just behind?
    3. Epicharis
      a couple of hours ago...
    4. Agit8r
      good... not too far behind
    5. legbamel
      The title seems a bit sinister, now that the person who posted it appears not to be the person eliminated.
    6. Epicharis
      mwahahahahaha!
  54. PetLvr
    You know ... I miss SiuilARuin even more now!!

    (ain't that the way? to miss them more after they are gone?)

    um.. now that's it free - can I change my PetLvr username to SiuilARuin?
