So after 10 years I finally got my user name, saintvictoria :), such a weird idea I am married to this one name, saintvictoria, across almost all platforms that is what I go by, and for the strangest reasons. I first used the name saint, whatever when Greg (ex husband) started DJing at 688, we named him Saint Greg, and it worked out ok, he didn’t DJ a great deal, but it was fun seeing his name on flyers, and for me to pick out music, and bring home new stuff to try out.
The next thing was we got a computer, and had dial up, and AOL, and we needed screen names, our first one was vicgreg99, way back in 96? or so, but we soon realised we needed separate accounts, due to friends and family chatting and email. So I picked saintvictoria, to go with his saintgreg. And it stuck, I think Greg changed his after a while, but I liked Saintvictoria, she was a saint, and I had gone to catholic school, and when I was 11 or so been very religious.
The next move on my name was our separation and hanging out with
Over the years it has come to mean more to me, I love the Apoptygma Bezerk line “you know I am not a saint”, and the first time I heard that song it meant so much to me, I might appear all the things people project onto me, I might appear a certain way, but I am not a saint, I am not perfect, and most of all I am human I make mistakes, I screw up and I get up and try again.
