#i hope my tone doesnt sound rude i had fun writing this post LOL

[polandspringz]

wait i only just realise that like, your name is poland,, like when i read your url i thought that you just were polish LMAO

The nature of humanity is that every year or so I get this same type of message in my inbox LOL

With that being said let's run through this spiel again

I am not Polish, I'm American. If anything going by my heritage I'm Ukranian, but still not Polish

I've learned over the past 12 years or so on this site that people outside of America are not familiar with the water bottle brand Poland Spring. My username is based off this:

3. No I don't have any allegiance to this brand or anything. The story behind the username is in 2012 my Girl Scout troop was doing this "social media" badge safety thing and we had to draw on a sheet of paper what our "Facebook" page would look like (because we technically couldn't create a FB page since we were under 18 even though every other girl in the troop already had one). I didn't care about FB but my sister used tumblr and I knew what that site looked like, and knew people used usernames on there instead of their real name. I needed to think of a username and on the table was a bottle of Poland Spring.

4. A week later my sister was like "Hey let's set up your tumblr. What do you want your username to be."

5. As with most usernames, overtime the abbreviation of "Poland" has become my online moniker. I also use it for my cosplay stuff and so I tend to response to it IRL now too. It's honestly just become a sound to me now and I forget that when people hear it they think I'm Polish.

6. It is NOT from my old obsession with Hetalia back in 2012. If it was then I would have a blog named Iceland or something.
