They are stealing my name…I thought I was being unique when I stole it!

I realized a sad truth…I had always loved to be a bugger…CreativeBug was a name I had adopted ages ago…I think a few years ago….but now so many unimaginative sad people have taken up this name as their nickname that I am losing my uniqueness.
