The Giveaway Is Closed
I don’t normally have big news to break via my blog, but today, that’s all going to change. By reading this post you’re on your way to winning a FREE HP Pavilion dm3 laptop. (Do I have your attention?)

OH MAN!
I don’t do a ton of giveaways on Free and Flawed, but I knew that holding out for something awesome would pay off. HP is giving me one thin and light HP dm3 to give away to one of my spiffy readers. Yep, Christmas is coming early folks. Just call me Santa Jenn. Ho, ho, ho!
What You Need To Know
- HP dm3 is 1-inch thin and 4.5 lbs. Your shoulders will be happy!
- Features like snap, pin, shake and peak (sounds like a weird dance) in Windows 7 make day-to-day tasks a breeze.
- Conference goers rejoice! The HP dm3 boasts 10 hours of battery life (TEN!) Thank the mega awesome power management system, which tells YOUR brand-spankin’ new HP to run fewer background activities, dim the screen and turn off unused ports. Phew!
I’ve been taking a walk down memory lane and thought about my very first computer: A giant mammoth of a monitor and a super slow processor. Remembering my dinosaur got me thinking about the HOURS I would spend on AOL chatting it up with complete strangers in hope one would turn out to be my soul mate (thanks for the false hope Meg Ryan!)
Naturally I blamed my screenname for that.

What You Need To Do
You have to share something embarrassing with me. I want to know what your first screenname was.
My Top Three:
1) Newbie: jennco02 (jenn class of ’02 – unfortunately people thought my name was jennco.)
2) Conceited: angelickisses (don’t judge me.)
3) My emo phase: noturstar (you can thank Dashboard Confessional and Something Corporate for that one)
There, if I can share so can you.
But Wait! There’s More!
If you think you could use some extra luck, share this giveaway with friends. TWEET about it, BLOG about it, SCREAM it from the rooftop. Each tweet/blog post = another chance to WIN.
If my blog generates the most comments, tweets, posts, etc. out of nine others, I will receive another dm3 of my very own, which I will also give away. That’s a possibility of TWO laptops and TWO happy readers.

How to enter: (You can do ONE or ALL of the following)
1. Leave a comment with your most embarrassing screenname. If you weren’t a chatter, use a blog name!
2. Tweet about it and ask your friends to tweet too! Leave a separate comment linking back to your tweet every time you do and I’ll count each of those entries.
3. Write a blog post about a) what you would do with a new computer, b) how technology has changed your life OR c) share more embarrassing details from your AOL days (be sure to link to this giveaway & comment with a link to your blog post.)
Don’t forget to wish Peter a very happy birthday!

Pansy. It was the pen name of my favorite author. My husband hated to have to give it out when dealing with the company on the phone.

My first screen name was “superflii24″. I came up with it because I liked the name of the old WWF wrestler, Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka and because my favorite number to wear on sports teams was 24. I made it “superflii” instead of “superfly” because I wanted it to stand out. I was a dork.

My first username was carwine because of my last name. “Auto as in car, vino as in wine, but don’t drink and drive” was my slogan.

I meant to enter this a LONG time ago. Oh well. My first screenname was uhohikie. My nickname in high school was ikie and I used to always say “uh oh.” I’m probably not feeling as embarrassed about it as I should, huh?
