I originally chose 'tanglelips' for two reasons. 1: b/c I, in 1999, listened often to the Dave Matthews Band, and they had a line in a song which i thought was very sexy: "tangled tongues and lips." 2: Additionally, a wonderful fairytale book I read as a little girl called -The Golden Key- had a protagonist named Tangle, whose long hair wasn't brushed regularly enough. Well I have very long golden hair just like she, and it can get plenty tangled when I don't brush it very regularly. I always identified with her name.

I am well aware that my name makes me sound a little slutty and juvenile, and I considered making a new name when I registered here, but I felt a little weird, as though I would be ditching one identity/past for another, and I didn't want to feel like i'd be perceived as sneaky. I wish I'd ditched the 'lips' now though, and just gone with Tangle. *laugh*

Alas.
