    Sometimes I make teru teru bouzus when I feel bad, and I hang them on my window (but upside down because I like rain. The're also cute.

    I wanted my username to be shakespeare qoute, so why not my all-time favourite/ most humorous. You should see bob hoskins play iago saying this line in the BBC version of othello. It's gold, my favourite part.

    I came up with mine at the spot. It took 10 seconds to come up with some ideas. I like cats. I want social progression, yet the word 'progression' doesn't sound pretty(despite its great meaning), so I chose 'modern' instead.

    ModernCat it is!

    Mine is just Roman Numeral for the number 16, which has some significance to me. Plus it doesn't really have any relation to myself that people know about, so I remain anonymous. :wink:

    I chose my username "lgbtmathematics" because of my interest of the intersection between the LGBT community and mathematicians.

    My username is a combination of my chosen nickname & the fact that I'm an introvert & not much of a people person. I would've put "AlexTheIntrovert", but the site considered it too long.

    I chose mine out of habit. I use ecallan for just about everything. It's just my first initial and my last name. I actually wouldn't mind changing to just Erin to be honest because I hate being called ecallan and I want people to call me by my name anyway. I feel a little silly for setting my account up the way I did, but regardless, ecallan is okay with me.

    Doctor Benway was a character in several of the novels of William S. Burroughs, who my avatar is a caricature of.

    I usually go with Ren, since my first name is Renny. Ren was taken, so I went with Funn. Funn is the name of a character in a short story I wrote once.

    I put my usual aliases in a mental blender and pulled out random letters. I got "MRFE," which I translated to "Murphy" because it looked more like a name and because of the character in Interstellar.

    Libertino is Spanish for "libertine". I'm not really a true libertine, but it's something I can identify with.

    Because my name can be read either as "Gent Lady" in which case it suits my gender identity, or "Gentle lady" which i also imagine suits me :grin:
