Announcement!

[sid]

I'm going to be launching a new Dreamwidth journal for non-fandom matters. Mostly, you will all get to watch me flail as I try to cope with being a new homeowner of a 100-year-old house. Everyone is invited to follow, and to offer advice, encouragement, and/or mocking laughter.

But first I need a name for the journal!

Oooh, add me to the new one when it's set up - I can have the 100 year old house conversation for days...

[sid]

Then you are just the kind of person I'm looking for! *beams*

I'll put a post up on this journal when the new one is created so that people can come subscribe. I'll be sure to post the link a few times. :-)

sidhouse? 100yearoldhouse? oldhouses?

[sid]

100yearoldhouse would be a cool name! But I'll be using the journal for other purposes, too... or at least that's how I envision things going, so I don't want to tie myself down to something so specific.

But I'm regretting that now, because THAT IS SUCH A COOL NAME! :-D

[ghoti]

and i forgot the obvious -- thisoldhouse!

[sid]

Hee! That might be copyrighted!

[ghoti]

details, details :)

even if it's not all house stuff all the time, i still think that it'd be a cool name for a journal

[sid]

You're very right about that.

[catsmeow]

To keep it separate from fandom, how about leaving Sid out of it and maybe going with 100yroldhouse or centennialhome or something house related.

[sid]

Sid is my nickname as well as my nom de plume, so I never think of Sid as being just fandom related. And the new journal won't be just about house stuff, although that might be the majority of it for the next year or so!

[catsmeow]

In that case, I rather like sidtoo or maybe sidsplace.

[sid]

sidsplace might come across as sid splace. LOL

You can change your vote to sidtoo if you like!

[catsmeow]

Done! :D

[muck_a_luck]

brainofck - great name that suffers from the sidspalce problem. I suggest using the cool name and hitting people who call you Brain o'Fuck with a virtual frying pan, as needed. *nods* Ahem.

[sid]

Ahem, indeed! :-D

[gategremlyn]

How about Sid_the_Sage? That way you could pass on your wisdom in many different areas. Good luck with the new house. Houses that old have unique problems, but they're usually worth the effort.

[sid]

Wisdom! If only! :-D No, I'm hoping to attract people who will be full of sage advice.

I've inherited the house that I grew up in, so I definitely think it's worth it. :-)

[archersangel]

good luck with the house

[sid]

Thank you! *hugs*

[marcellinafuriosa]

I kind of like "Sidonia."

[marcellinafuriosa]

Oooh- and homeownership!

[sid]

Inherited, not chosen. EEP ----> clueless

[sid]

Should I be channeling the Marx Brothers here?

Because I am!

[green_grrl]

sid_irl? sids_life?

My house is "only" 90 years old, but I'll be happy to commiserate. :D

[sid]

Dad never quite pinpointed the year this house was built, but he thought 1913. (Close enough to 100!)

sids_life has real possibilities.

[l_jade]

HouseSidding ??? like House-sitting but with Sid ?? :P

[sid]

Very cute! :-D

[jdjunkie]

Sidding_pretty?

I dunno, I'm crap at these things. I voted for sid2 because that's what it is and it's short and sweet. :-)

Please to be letting me follow you wherever you go. Baby.

[sid]

Ha! I like it!

Of course you can follow me, baby. To the ends of the earth.

[discodiva76]

I like sidtoo personally....you'll always be sid to me and this is your 2nd journal....

I'd love to hear all the news about the house too.....it's a non-stop job looking after property but with older houses can be so rewarding...if I wasn't getting so much older and with a hubby with lack of mobility I'd adore to buy a little old cottage and renovate it....


Sadly I think my next move will be to somewhere smaller with all mod cons and easy to keep clean and tidy!!...


Deeds xx

I've been a renter ever since I left this house in, hmm, 1975? I'm utterly clueless!
