    A name I like to go by.
    It's also the forenames of two friends from when I was a teenager, and the name of a damn good boxer.

    Because before, I was in the dark & I didn't know who I was, I just knew I was that quiet girl. Hence the combination between "poltergeist" & "girl."

    But look at me now

    The fact my closet is both literally and figuratively full. Also as a contradictory statement to the name of this wonderful forum because I tend to be a kind of silly person that way.

    I choose my profile name based on the Japanese concept of Senpai and Kohai. Senpai in it's most basic context is used to refer to someone that is older then yourself. Wheras Kohai is the opposite.

    When I read up on the history of EC, I noticed how it was originally intended for teenagers coming to better understand themselves as a part of the LGBT community. It is my hope that I will be able to act as a mentor "senpai" to both them and all other members on the site as I become more knowledgeable over time. The reason being that we may be of different ages, but we are all here to support each other.

    I chose 'InvisibleMisfit', because it's fitting.

    I chose my name because I'm bisexual, my name is Donald, and I was born in 1970. Nothing real symbolic about it.

    As I was in my genderfluid stages, I wanted a unisex cute bubbly name so I went for Landon.
    And now this name is my everyday life :slight_smile:

    I was applying for a membership and couldn't think of a cool username (all the members had really cool usernames), so I went on a website which told me to combine my fave colour (red), something that I like (Star Trek), and some numbers (the year I secretly wish I was born in). And that's how RedTrekkie95 was born.

    Galley is actually an abbreviation of my real name, and it's something I use quite often on forums. Also I choose it when I was reading maze runner and the character Galley had just turned out to be a good guy, I found in the last book I actually quite liked him and respected his tenacity and bravery. GalleyGirl, because I liked the alliteration and it sounded okay, but also because there this weird idea that lesbians/female bisexuals are all tough tom boys, so they all basically act like men (and it's often the opposite for gay guys) and I was like- no. I'm a girl, I act like a normal girl and I also like other girls- I don't need to act like a man to do that. (But respect to all you girls who are just honestly tomboys by nature)

    My apologies. BTW, there were only 26 redshirt deaths that I know of. Obviously with those new movies it's impossible to tell, but the actual number is in the hundreds.

    I have no idea, if anybody has a theory i'd like to hear it.

    edit: Well not hear it, obviously cause that would require sound and talking, so I suppose read it would be more appropriate. Yeah, if anybody has a theory i'd like to read it.

    I'm not even a Star trek fan really. I just thought you were being very clever. XD

    It's the name of one of my OC's and one that I sometimes use for my character's name in RPGs.
