Akio, you have nice turns of phrase, but your points aren't clear and you have no textual support. I can't give this a passing grade.

Re: Your Username...

My username is just a variation on my real name; after twenty-five years of "Claire" I find it boring. emot-keke I go through stages of which version I like best -- I currently most like "Chiara" (Italian) and "Sorcha" (Gaelic) -- but in my last job at home a lot of my workmates used to call me Clarice for a laugh, which they did after a discussion of Hannibal Lector led to my mentioning a friend in high school who called me Clarice with a very good Anthony Hopkins-esque tone of voice. So, basically, it amuses me as the name of a literary character I quite like and a variation on my own name. Besides, like Clarice Starling I have a drive to understand things by any means available, so we at least have that much in common. emot-tongue

Re: Your Username...

Arki is shortened from Arkiony, which is a virtual dragon I had on neopets.com. I adopted the pet, so the name creator is unknown. I chose it over my usual username because my previous forum was dedicated to owners of this pet and everyone had to have their pets name. Plus, I didn't figure I'd be this active over here. emot-smile Before the Utena avvy, I used to have a picture of him.

Re: Your Username...

As you might have guessed, my forum name of Tamago came about because I wanted a good SKU name and before I was able to watch Utena on Youtube, I concidered Nanami to be little more than just The Libby because of a few screenshots and essays on SKU I had read, but after watching SKU, Nanami became my favourite bad-girl and Nanami's Egg is my favourite Nanami episode hence the name Tamago.

Re: Your Username...

Archambeau = best surname EVER.  Seriously!

I guess my full online name when I use Cerise is "Cerise Lumiere" (because Cerise de l'Aube's a bit of a bitch to use in a URL).  Lumiere was selected as my last name is Light.  Hence "Reflecting Lights" being the name of my blog.  I suppose Reflecting Light might be more appropriate, but I'm still hoping to get Paradox to write a little on it sometime too, so Lights rather than Light.  The R also represents my first initial--as well as Paradox's.  That was unintentional though.  I think.  emot-confused

Re: Your Username...

I hate my last name. It's a boy's name, yet it's used as a last name. I'd rather use my mother's maiden name. Both last names make my heritage pretty obvious, since my father's last name is Italian, and my mother's is Irish.

I've never liked my first name all that much either, which is why I like to go by the nickname, "Razara," even though people don't call me it in real life. I used to use the name Laura, since it's my favorite girl's name, but once again, people never actually called me it in real life. But since it's a modern name, that's why I had to choose something else for that game.

I love Aphex Twin.  Drukqs is the name of my favourite album by him...so yeah.  It doesn't really mean anything according to him...it's just a really weird word.  But I liked the sound of it for some reason school-devil  It's also one of my oldest handles; been using it for about 4 or 5 years now.

Re: Your Username...

I think my name itself is self-explanatory enough. Just cut it into two parts: Tenjou and Sailorsaturn. They are my favorite anime characters.

I have a few other names also, like : Lady_poetess, Poetic Love. But this one, for the recent years, is the most frequent one that come up in my mind. Yet, sometimes I wish that I could change my username in some places. Perhaps I'm starting to get tired of my current name? I might use the other two names in some other places.
So, one day, if you really see those other names on the net, it'll usually be me. (80%)

Not entirely sure...I'd like to think that it's 'Trucks' with a D in place of T, but I've never heard him actually say it, so I can't be sure ._.

I'll explain the real reasoning when I am not tired.

Okay, so I noticed that I needed a more personal sounding S/N for Deviantart and for my Art in general.

Then, as a joke, my boyfriend and I sat down an figured what I would be in the original WOD. We figured that I would be a Bastet or a Werecat.

Also, I tend to stalk things, growl, go "MOW/MROW!" to get someone's attention.

So Angela D. Savage became AnjitheBeast.


And because I am a dork, I forgot that I used the "AnjitheArtist" variant for this forum, which was originally an e-mail. emot-rofl *SHOT AGAIN*

Re: Your Username...

Come back soon, Yasha! emot-smile And please impart the wisdom from the god of numbers!!!

My nickname: I was a giant Madonna Fan! My first internet experience was a Madonna message board. We were all anxiously awaiting the Ray of Light album. The first single released was Frozen. But because Frozen and all its variations were taken, I choose a slight resemblance by choosing Frosty & tacked on the fact that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Christmas time with a passion. So it seemed to fit. I know all the words to Frosty the Snowman by heart! Although it has been my internet calling card for 10+ years, it's not a name that anyone has ever called me IRL.

My emails were always variations of "Frosty" as it wouldn't ever be available: frostybaby13(at)everymailbox. I chose 13 because it's a traditionally unlucky number, and I wanted to make the statement that you make you own luck in life. Interestingly enough, when I was a teenager my email was "frostylady" but when I became an adult, I used "frostybaby". Anyone secretly avoiding the aging experience? emot-biggrin

My real name Rachel is so boring, I constantly think of other things to be called! I'd rather be BITCHFACE, you know? Actually I have a passion for nicknames, and it's no sooner than I meet a new face and that person has suddenly been dubbed a special something by yours truly.

Sidenote: Somewhere along the line I began throwing out "silhouette" as a possible addition to Frosty. THAT was the nickname of the first and only person, a total stranger, who ever sent me nudie shots through my email! (and tried to convince me to do the same, we became quite friendly) What can I say? That introduction made quite an impression! emot-rofl

PS - Stormcrow, MYGOD, I do the same thing with sticking my nose into problems! I'm addicted to it! It would be cool if my actions actually made a difference rather than messing things up further. And of course, I use my religion as a reason to justify my behavior and feel quite righteous when doing so! There is no hope for me! emot-frown


Just remember that the things you put into your head are there forever, he said. You might want to think about that. / You forget some things, don't you? / Yes. You forget what you want to remember and you remember what you want to forget.

All right, from now on I will pronounce Drukqs like "trucks" with a D. And Sevelle, you have educated me. I always pronounced it like "Seville" but with an E instead. Never again!

And Frosty? Frozen is my favorite Madonna song.

Re: Your Username...

Wow.. I don't remember if there was already a thread like this at not.. But I'll just copy and paste my usual response to this question.

In high school, my friends and I were walking from our regular school to our art school, and I was very awake and hyper, while my friend Sarah was really sleepy. I kept bouncing up and down and going "Wake up!" and she murmured something about me being a "Sleep Dept Fairy.." Of course, I had NO idea what she meant, but I didn't ask. emot-biggrin; She meant Sleep Dept as in Sleep Deprivation. But when I started getting online again, I misspelled it and put "SleepDebtFairy".. only to realize later what it really meant. I kept the misspelling.
