    Invisible - let me explain.

    I think there was a billion and one reasons why I close it. One reason was that I was uptight about my identity. I wouldn't even tell people my name and I flat out refused to show my face to anyone for the longest time. I just wanted to be slightly invisible to the site and float around in the background, hopefully helping people and making a subtle positive difference.
    That and in real life I tend to try and keep out of the middle of things. As a person I'm very complex and I have the weirdest brain ever, such that I do think everyone is pretty amazing and I really don't like to focus on myself at all. I tend to wear blacks, whites and greys and rarely things which will make me an individual in my own right and focus attention on me when I'd rather see other people getting it.

    Erm yeah I typed way too much. Oh well. :slight_smile:

    mine was supposed to be a combo of two words: technology + computer(s) seeing as I like working with computers and technology all the time :slight_smile: and the number two is b/c I used the same username on Xanga for awhile and the plain Techcompu was taken

    My first username was a combination of my first initial and last name. I can't post it because last names arent allowed.
    My second username (Wonderwall) was Mike's petname for me.
    This username is a Madonna song and it has a nice ring to it...

    The Enigma Guest

    I thought either paradox or enigma were perfect words to describe me. Though, that in and of itself is unprovable. Lol I'm an English lover, sorry for all the innate puns.

    My friend Nat/Nathaniel/Nadaddy/Natman (take your pick), started calling me "Lorn" for some reason. And then he decided he was going to make a band named "Lorn and the Vikings" and thus... LornTehViking.

    it's from an old saying that something is "a whole 'nuther kettle of fish", meaning something completely different, like I like to think I am :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I have a tendency to put my hands around guys necks when I get intimate, not in a violent way or anything. It just sort of feels right. One of my boyfriends began calling me Chokie. It stuck.

    My first username, Loveislove, was just something i thought of so i could be 100% anonymous because at the time i was accepting of myself, but NO one else was (closeted, thats why) so i still felt i should hide everything.

    Then when i came out, made friends on this site, and everyone knew my name i changed it to Greggers because thats what some of my close friends always call me

    My first username was my first and last name put together, which I changed after about three days. I then switched to Interstella because most of my online usernames are called Interstella :slight_smile:
    In case you didn't know, Interstella 5555 is a film by Daft Punk.
    My custom title also comes from that film :grin:
    EDIT: and so does my avatar

    The name Derek has been used for my various personas, like since I was 8. Used to be an ODST. Now he's an anthropomorphic wolf. So Derek the Wolf was pretty self-explanatory.
