Explain your LiveJournal name and its meaning. When you're done, tag as many people as there are letters in your name.
All right, so I was tagged by the mu to do this, so let me try and explain this random name. Well, for anyone who knows my AIM screen name, it obviously derived from that, but because I didn't want to use the same one, I put "lil" in front of it because a) I am not a very big person and b) because I felt like it.
However, the gidget itself (from AIM) comes from a vacation that I took in seventh grade with my family. We were on vacation with some family friends and were at the beach the entire time (Mytrle, to be exact). We had walkie-talkies because there were a lot of people at the beach and we didn't want to spend every single second together (read: the kids and the parents). So we had these walkie-talkies, but we figured out EXTREMELY quickly that EVERYONE had them and we would get their messages, as well, and no one could ever tell who was talking to who. Thus, we started using the code names "moondoggie" and "gidget" so each family would always know who was talking to who. The other family was "moondoggie" and we were "gidget." We came home from this vacation and had just gotten a new computer on which I was allowed to download AIM. I couldn't figure out a name, and my parents were trying to help me and my dad was like "why not use gidget?" and thus came the creation of my name.
Damn, that was long.
Right, so now for the tag. Well, I cannot tag the mu because she already tagged me. So I will tag...the roommie, Lizbeth (if she ever reads this), Alli M (my fellow penguin), Brooke (the kitty slut), and anyone else who wants to do this. I am horrible at this whole "tag people" thing.
