Pepper Valentine.
Lol, so I played that alias-creation game “What’s Your P*rn Star Name?” where you combine the name of your first pet + first street you ever lived on, and voila! Pepper Valentine.
What’s your name when you play that game?
Anyhow, this is my story as to why I decided to create an alias. It’s a frequent question I get so it’s a good revisit for any newcomers visiting here.
I definitely want to remain anonymous online. I’ve had issues with an online stalker before, AND, I prefer to blog about my real life and work and the people that impact me, but I don’t want any negative consequences from writing about them. And I’ve posted about my issues with my online stalker here if you wanted to check it out.
I have the alias because I wanted to create a Facebook account for my blog, but I didn’t want anyone from my real life to find it or to know it was actually me. I do vent about them online occasionally, as you know.
I can’t use my real Facebook account bc I plan on blogging about my real life and work stuff, etc. And if people in my real life were aware of that, I’d probably censor myself for their benefit. So to feel like I have freedom here, I’d prefer for folks in my real life to not know. I hope that makes sense and doesn’t make me seem like a weirdo.
So I tried my alias and surprisingly Facebook accepted it as a real name! Lol, I didn’t expect that since they seem really strict about using real names. So now I’m Pepper Valentine online. Nice meeting you all. 🙂
If you are a Facebook fan, definitely feel free to add me. I’m Pepper Valentine, and my link is www.facebook.com/peppvalentine.
I also created a Facebook page for this blog, it’s at www.facebook.com/peppervalentine7. I’ve never managed a FB page before, so this will be a learning experience for me. I hope it turns out to be cool.
See you all over there!
