This has always been something I've been interested in. I love knowing peoples ideas and why they call things what they do.
So, let me start.
My blog is called Note To Self, and I called it that because I want to look back at my posts in the years to come and
remember the lessons I have taught myself or others have taught me. I thought it was quite fitting as I usually write about personal things.
So, what does yours mean to you? |

Hahahaha!!!! Nobody has EVER actually asked me what 'skinnedcartree' means.
Your all going to think I'm a dick when I explain, but hear goes.
Remember back in like 1998 when there were like only 5 websites in existence? Well one of those websites was Freeserve. Freeserve had chat rooms and also my internet provider (blueyonder, I think) would offer FREE internet between 7:30 and 8pm! So at 7:30pm every evening me and my friends used to 'dial up' get on Freeserve chat and go into chat rooms. We would spam said chat rooms by saying 'cartree, car, car, tree tree car'. You know, like how a pokemon can only ever say it's own name? All we said was 'car' and 'tree'.
Fast forward a few years, around 2001, I think I was signing up to AOL messenger and I needed a username and couldn't think of anything, so I entered Cartree. But it was already taken, so it suggested 'skinnedcartree' to me. And it's been my username on EVERYTHING ever since.
My housemate hates it, she says it reminds her of skinned cats =(
I wish my blog name meant something more sentimental than 'spamming chat rooms when I was 12'. lol.

Mine is really simple, I used to have a major obsession with the TV show Charmed, and everyone I know calls me Charlee instead of Charlotte so kinda came from there |

I love the reasoning behind your's Corinne! So funny!
I called mine The Savvy Styler because my initial idea was to create a fashion blog showing people how to style inexpensive and affordable clothes! Mainly down to the fact that I am a student and can't afford all the nice things out there!
