Spain? Holy shit, last time I was on here you were about to leave. Heck of a Eurotrip then. You get to participate in Tomatina or any of their wine festivals?
I was actually talking to Sanct and she was kind enough to correct my usage & pronounciation of your first name - Yarnya. I always love hearing about KMC meetups though.
Right now school's just starting so it's a pretty refreshing feeling. Plus all the hot chicks seem way chill here, very easy to talk to. It helps that most of the 1st year ones like me are a little shy as well.
Just gotta turn on the asian swag. 😎
It's Yaryna.
I also always find it weird when people use the actual names of the people they talk to in communities where pseudonyms are chosen. I feel like if I wanted to be addressed by my first name I would have chosen that to be my nickname. I have also noticed that sometimes people use my name even though I have not given it to them, I assume to imply some sort of familiarity between us that does not exist. Not aimed at you in particular, of course, DarkC /rant.

I got a bit of a lecture from a friend back then - forget who - for using the screennames over real first name; ever since then I've kinda just adjusted to not using them.
Hmm, well it obviously depends, if someone used my online handle irl in a different group that's not connected, I would also find that inappropriate. Really I just think people should use the name they are given in the places that they were given. If I tell someone my name in PM, sure, call me that in PM, it doesn't mean I want it used on the public board. Things like that.
Obviously you and silver_tears know each other, so it doesn't apply, it's just something I've noticed. People I don't know trying to be chummy by using my real name. I try to be cautious of what name to use of people.
