#cookydoh

I signed up on twitter wayyy long ago, in 2008, because it was the new cool thing to do. I used a more personal handle that contained my first name, as is with most people. And then, as is with most other people, they start finding leads to get to know more information about you and that can get a little creepy. Following that and a few things that stressed me out, I deleted my twitter account altogether - this, sometime around February 2011. May 2011, I moved back with the family and really needed to keep my mind off things that mattered and concentrate on feeling better about myself. Needless to say, there was twitter - the age old buddy who never judged when I walked away and the age old followers who promptly followed when I got back on Twitter as @CookyDoh.

Why @CookyDoh? I was heavily into baking through 2010 and 2011 and I'd never really eat anything I baked because I'd stuff myself on cookie dough while cutting out cookies to bake. That, put together with my eccentric side, my love for Homer and an attempt at being funny and/or creative lead to this handle. Not to forget the anonymity angle, of course. I've also come up with other food-based handles: @OmNomohShivay, @duodenomnom, because associating myself with all things food just makes me very very happy. Whether or not I'll ever use them is a different story altogether.
