'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form.

"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

tryagain... It seems like I see this word a lot when I'm playing games, so I stuck with it

**pinkcheese** · 03-02-2005 04:52 AM

...it was a dark and stormy night.
I was sitting at the computer, signing up for a website, when suddenly:
Please create a username.
OH THE HORROR!
So I thought for a while, and thinking of nothing out of the ordinary, my short attention span began to wander...hmm...pink flamingo pen...where'd the heck that come from...oh yeah, screen names...hm...so hungry...wonder if we have any cheese dip left..
And then it was born.
However, I just tell most people I was being stupid.

**Clairity** · 03-02-2005 05:19 AM

Clairity is a blending of the name "Claire" and the command "Clarity Now".

I swear I can hardly sleep for everyone shouting my name all night!

and the things I've seen you all do!

**Peregrinus** · 03-02-2005 05:57 AM

Peregrinus is Latin for "wanderer" and runs less risk of being interpreted as a falcon than if I used my actual name. A famous author with a penchant for pointy hats once wrote "All who wander are not lost." He was right.

OK, this is odd, i posted here yesterday, but my messgee isnt here....

my name came form my last name. its simmialr, and so someitmes my firneds call me this as a joke thingy. Its also from my aim screen name.

**Placebo** · 03-02-2005 02:09 PM

Because many of the hobbies I have, LDing included, involve issues of the subconscious and psychosomatic effects. Placebo being the most notable and problematic sometimes.

**Gwendolyn** · 03-02-2005 04:25 PM

My screen name is just my name....Alas, I wish I had been more creative. I wanted the name "Gwen" which is what I go by, but it seems it had already been taken...So, I figured my full name would have to suffice.

**oraia_oneira** · 03-02-2005 04:25 PM

oraia oneira = greek words, meaning, beautiful/good dreams

**SleepingHuman** · 03-02-2005 06:35 PM

Pretty self explanatory, but it's also somewhat of a parallel description of my current state of mind.

**nightowl** · 03-03-2005 11:17 PM

when i was little i used to stay up extremely late and so i thought of the expression "nightowl" and liked how it sounded and what it meant to me and described me. To this day i stay awake untill 11:30 to 12:30 or maybe 1 everyday(yes on school days to) and i'd have to wake up at 6 the next day.

For some reason i just CAN'T go to sleep early. I find myself incapable of doing that. If i try i just stay awake in my bed untill the time i usually go to bed. Anyway i blame it on my heritage. Brasilians like to stay up late and be late to everything. so yeah...

**jacobo** · 03-04-2005 04:39 PM

wow, a relic.

all day i dream about stroppes.

**SmartAznTiger** · 03-07-2005 07:42 PM

I like tigers, and tigers r from Asia, NOT africa, and tigers r smart. Oh, and I'm Asian.

Well, I sure have, if you look at my name and sig!

That's weird.. just as I was about to post this, I noticed Peregrinus' sig...

Looks like we have several DNA fans here...

**Yume** · 03-18-2005 08:19 AM

Yume Kotoarashiku means dream again in Japanese. It seemed appropriate for this site even though I normally go under the alias Alero Ravenlocke. Oldsmobile stole it from me. I had that name since I was 7.

**Amethyst Star** · 03-18-2005 09:42 AM

I'm suprised I haven't posted in this, yet. (1:30am, yep, there's time)

Anyway, back in the day when The Zone (before it was owned by microsoft, or something) was still young I was trying to think of a bunch of screen names I could use. I used to play a game called Tanarus (which totally rocked!) and as I was creating names (about 10 of them), I decided to try combining words together. I decided to use gems and then take the last two letters of the word and attatch on a word that had the same two letters. Sapphireyes, Emeraldays, Jadelude, and more, including Amethystar.

**Lateralus** · 06-11-2005 08:59 PM

Lateralus

I got the name from one of my favorite songs by a band called Tool. The meaning behind that is lateral thinking, expanding the mind, and turning ideas into reality. I thought this would be a kickass nickname to have, especially for a forum like this.

**Haz** · 06-11-2005 09:00 PM

Elemantary mine is.

**Barbizzle** · 06-12-2005 03:10 AM

well, my last name is barbato, and so oen day my finrd just was joking aournd and cllaed me barbizzle, and the rest is history.

**nesgirl119** · 06-12-2005 03:22 AM

At one time, my screen name was actually gamegirl119, but too much spam was sent to me, so I changed it to nesgirl119. NES is short for Nintendo Entertainment System(Now it is just seems to be abbreviated for Nintendo), & of course, I am a girl. This is b/c I am a very big fan of Video Games, especially those made from Nintendo(I suppose you all know that by now!). The 119 is actually the big day of the year I go & party w/my friends! The real day is 11-9, but I am a bit paranoid about someone attacking me then (it has happened b4), so I just keep it 119.
