and the winner is.....

As I draw ever closer to my 2nd birthday in cleanland -- that elusive spot of black key tag status in Narcotics Anonymous -- I have a desire to change my blog title. My gf says I can call myself a newcomer for as long as I think it works for me (ha! smartass that she is with her near 17 years!), but I think it's time has come as I turn 2.
I have thought of many titles, but none of them seem to jump right out and grab me. Then today I saw that Mantramine had changed her title and written a bit about why. JW left a vote for another title in her comment section and an idea was born.
Why not let my people vote for a new blog name for Scout? You know me well. You know what I love and what pisses me off. You know I think I am a special addict because heroin is my beloved. You know almost all of it. So, who better to give me ideas for a new title than all of you?
Lay them on me. Serious votes (Ej corrected me and let me know that voting implies choices and did I really want suggestions)suggestions only, please, or this could turn into a real fricking free for all! (Wow, it scares me to think of what I just put out here.)

Come on, that's too tempting to not have a little fun...Besides all this name changing, and blog title changing creates work for me, I vote to keep it the same...lol.

Hmmm...All about Scout, that's my vote.

I vote for incorporating Prince's "formerly known as" monker...like "The Totally Fixed Addict Formerly Known As Scout" or something.

I also like Madness. "Madness: Scout Turns 2."

"I'm Better Than You Because I Did Heroin.blogspot.com"

"Addicts Are Hot.blogpot.com"

I'm going to think of more.

I love how you sign your posts, Peace, Scout. I'm not sure what to do with it, but I'd love it if you incorporate Peace.... AND Scout.

Well, I know I don't really have a vote, so I don't really have a veto, but I'm going to veto anyway. You may not use the Goo Goo Dolls -- nothing about tragic allure of heroin. I like something with peace -- hm, maybe madness...

I am going to think about this and get back to you. Although, I had to rip off Virginia Woolf for the title of my blog, so it's not like I'm good at this naming crap. But I will rip off some stuff for you. ;)

Well Scout, to me you simply rock. You know this. I say Scout--still Rockin'.
My own opinion. Although, I do like the whole Peace...Scout thing also.
Or you could just drop Newcomer. Why not do that???

Just pick a damn name. OMG--I will have to change my name once Joe is out---won't I??? Oh Goodness, what a chore that will be. I guess you can help me when the time comes.

Much Love
Nic

How about Serene Madness? Still Dazed But NOT Confused... or Dazzled But Not Dazed. I love making up blog names!

Not that I think you need to change the name of your blog. Because you may know longer be new to being clean but you will always be new to life—I hope we all will. Maybe change the subtitle to reflect how your feeling now that your a card carrying, flag-waving advocate for a better life.

Two years. That is just the best.

I forgot about asking Wayward, after all he did name this site. I think you have to go with something he comes up with, brain storm with him, you will have 20 names in 5 minutes to choose from. THEN you can have an ACTUAL vote, instead of a suggest a name post. :P

Thank you for so kindly pointing out that blaring defect of character of mine; correcting people. God that is SO annoying, and I hate it when someone does it to me, yet, I am the first to do it to anyone else that comes along. I gotta work on that one, seriously, thanks.
