    It's the name of my solo musical project. It has no real origin, other than the fact that I just thought of it out of nowhere. I thought it sounded interesting.

    Well I used to be very secretive and mysterious earning me the nickname ghost, and me being partial to German decided to use the German word for ghost which is of course Geist

    Colbie is not actually my real name, but Marie is my actual real name.
    I was talking with a friend about how during the first day of class the teacher normally asks if there is a nickname or something else you go by instead of your first name. We thought it would be funny to just say something random and have an entire class of people call you by another name than your own. We had a similar conversation about when I move (next year) and meet all sorts of new people it'd be fun to just pick another name to go by and for me the only names that we liked were Colbie and Tyler (I like that name for girls).

    It's just my internet alias - I use it for a lot of websites.
    I like vampires - and someone once told me I had a very feline body (whatever that means), and I like to spell things archaically so I became Vampyrecat.

    pwnorton stands for Philip William Norton, which is NOT my name. I just made up that name from the combination of my old cat's name (philip "willy" christensen [my last name]) and my street name (norton). Some people may recognize this as what your "porn" name is supposed to be, but it sounded more like an author's name. but i use it when i don't want to use my real name for sites, in case people i know happen to type my real name into google.

    so yea.

    that's pwnorton.

    umm... wherever we go to eat my mom orders a medium diet coke... and it became like an instinct:
    "would you like anything to dri--"
    "MEDIUMDIETCOKE!"

    I don't like coke, though. I like sprite and orange soda :grin:

    Well my name is not Jay for those of u who thought it was. My first name starts with a J and last name with a C. I love gettin crunk and am known for my dance moves through out my county. So, all of my friends just started callin me JayC in reference to the rapper Jay-Z. I like it i think it goes well together

    I chose Trumpetplyer23 as my name because, well, I am a trumpet player and 23 is my lucky number. I took out a vowel for no reason. I just did so.

    Uhh... my name used to be 'TDziubinski' which was my first initial and my last name...

    Now it's 'Wonderwall' because that was my ex-still-sorta-dating-but-it's-complicated-boyfriend's petname for me. It's our song, which is why he called me 'Wonderwall'.

    I think it sounds a lil satanic + it has a bit of my name in it.
