Just use a non-Gregorian calendar on all the Friday the 13th days.

Going to create a new gmail. I have a username in mind, though I may need to use a variation with numbers or a suffix. We'll see.

Back in the day (like 2005), I managed to make some 5-character usernames on gmail. Those days are pretty much gone, methinks. Less typing is better!
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Make up your mind, and run with it.

I’m never satisfied, unfortunately, and the task of creating the perfect new handle can consume me for days.

In using some fancypants imagery: An artist is never done with a painting, he just puts down the brush one day, and accepts that his painting can only get marginally better, without altering it too much in the process.
Take that figurative image for what it's worth.
EDIT: and if you
have to have my opinion, I prefer
wordfoxen. But don't let my opinion change your retentiveness, unless you're a sucker for compliments. Think independently.

Couldn't come up with a decent email handle I wanted to use. Therefore, I am going back to an old gmail I haven't used in a while:
kitanetos.
