    Étoile is my favorite word in French. It means 'star'. Plus, it looks and sounds cute. And I like the way stars look.

    I am a daydreamer, and I listened to Racer X when I was joining the site. Simple!

    Epiphanies are sudden mental discoveries. They're my favorite. I was hoping to come to some epiphany about myself, but I also enjoy them when I'm doing something in school and it all of a sudden makes sense. Especially during physics and math tests!

    I don't think a lot of the time, and just act on impulse, hence, Absentminded =D

    Life in general inspired it. I always try to put on another's shoes before i make any judgments - hence - openminded. (&&&)

    Hidden - because at that point in time I was out to no one and felt like I was hiding my true identity. Angel - because I'm anything but. Plus it sounded cool and Hidden Devil just doesn't have the same ring to it.

    Well, I write an anonymous blog called silentsoundsystem. When I made that I just pulled it out of thin air, but over time I started building a semi-anonymous identity behind it (I had started the blog to give myself an outlet for writing about being gay and other things that I couldn't talk about in my real life or sites that were attached to the real me). When I came to EC I was looking for a similar anonymity, so it got shortened to silentsound. Now I wouldn't change it. I think it has a subtle quirkiness wrapped up in a more thoughtful philosophical concept of silence and sound that has really grown on me.

    I've always used cartoon characters for my names on messageboards. Since this is a gay-oriented one, I chose a gay cartoon character - Lexington, the youngest clan member from the 90s cartoon Gargoyles. That's him on the left.
