What Does Your BC User Name Mean?

Topics: blog, internet handle, user name
We've talked a lot about avatars before, but why did you choose your Blog Catalog user name? What does it mean to you? Mine is fairly generic, and has no special meaning other than I had to type in something! What about you and your Internet handle?
User Comments
-
Friday the 13th. Just randomly picked.-
Do you consider it lucky or unlucky? And does it have anything to do with the slasher flicks?
-
Nothing to do with the movies. I've only watched one of those films, and it was ... not good.
-
Scary or just simply lousy?
-
Simply lousy.
-
-
I picked mine because it's my pen name; it's a play of Marina del Rey (you can check my About Me on my blog, it explains it), as West LA, Marina del Rey, Venice and Santa Monica are all some of my favorite places in the whole world.-
I've never been to Marina del Ray. Is it pretty? I'll definitely go check out your "About me."
-
It's absolutely gorgeous. It's right near Venice, and there's a pathway where you can bike up the coast through Venice Beach and Santa Monica. Most beautiful spot on the West Coast.
-
I'll have to add it to my list of places to visit. Thanks!
-
-
Mine is also my pen name.-
Love the user name. It sounds like a particularly acerbic children's book character. Sort of as if Dennis Leary appeared in fairy tales.
-
-
I had lots of ideas for blogs. Back when I was a preschool teacher aka Miss Liz, the kids called me Miss Lizzy. When I told the kids about lots of projects to be done, I referred to myself as being a Busy Lizzy. So there you go!-
Yeah, you look and sound as if you're really good with kids. How long were you a teacher?
-
The one in my avatar is actually a ventriloquist doll! NOT! That's my daughter a few years back just before kindergarten. Let's see- I was an assistant teacher for about a year during my last year of night college. After I graduated with my ECE degree, I was a head teacher for about 4 years. Then I left that market and got a job that paid almost double. I am curious - what about me looks like I am good with kids? Is it the assumed silliness of anyone who'd wear flowers in their hair? The lack of psychotic facial characteristics? LOL!
-
Well, I dunno. It *is* the hippie flowers and the fact that you're not, oh say, strangling your kid the way Homer Simpson does Bart. Just call it intuition.
-
-
Great question! I chose it because I wanted to include at least one of the initials in my name and relate it to something I favor, like writing letters. Also, it's catchy.-
It's catchy and très chic! What have you written lately?
-
-
M stands for my first name, "Melinda"
Tyler stands for my last name "Tyler"
77 was my old taxi number when I used to drive -
You were a taxi driver? Awesome! You've got to share some of your best stories with us!
-
LOL--I had some good ones. Particularly when I was driving in NYC. That was really wild (and a long time ago).
-
Can you share any links about your taxi stories from your blog?
-
You know, I have only written one blog post about driving a taxi--and it was years after I drove in NYC, when I was driving a taxi in Montana while going to college. I've never blogged about the NYC taxi experiences, although I wrote about one in my memoir (which I am curently writing and blogging about). The one post about driving the taxi in Montana is called "Living in the Moment" and the link is: blog.melindaville.com/2009/01/30/living-in-the-moment.aspx
Most of my blog stories are centered around the things in my memoir; writing about my experiences as a former actor, punk rock musician, heroin addict, sex industry worker and my 15 year journey of recovery. -
Please oh please don't forget to blog about the taxi chapter of your life. It sounds so compelling.
-
I read your piece on the REACH program. I echo the sentiments of those who would love to hear more about driving a taxi in NYC. Also, I thought your site was most impressive. It has lots of features, but they don't get in the way of the writing. If I knew how to get one of those damn smiley faces, I'd put one here. -
windroot, to draw an emoticon smiley face, you use colon, then the right parenthesis. So it's
: + ) =
FYI...

DOSOX: DO SOmething eXtra
DOSON: DO SOmething New-
I thought your name was Doson?? -
User Name cronyms are always welcome, although I don't do text acronyms: LOL, etc. For some reason, I just can't bring myself to do it. Slang is OK to me, but text speak is beyond me...
-
-
To DOSOX, great acronyms!
-
Thanks
-
-
Anok: loosely translated means "Without master".
It is often cited or claimed to be the root word of "anarchy". Seemed appropriate -
What language, Anok? I thought it was a play on "Amok."
-
I like that. Nice choice.
-
Well, now that you mention it..
I've heard Greek originally. Some say it's just a new slang for anarchy. *shrug* -
Encyclopedia Britannica says Anok is a mask-making style of African sculpture:
www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/26547/anok
Pretty appropriate, given your picture! -
Ha! Yes, that is the other definition of it
-
-
-
I like your methodology. It's still a decent, random way to arrive at a username.
-
-
If I call my username out loud, my cat shows up (sometimes).
Years ago, my ex and I needed a name to register on i can't remember what site. We tried the cat's name, Salomé, but it was taken. After tweaking it for a while, we found 'salomey5' was available.
I stuck with it ever since, for some reason. Not the funkiest name, but it's easy to remember.-
Sometimes, I fake my dog out by saying something that sounds like, "Do you want to go for a walk?"
"Tijuana Frijole Farts?"
-
-
One with no fear
-
And the 21?
-
It's my lucky number!
-
-
I didn't pick mine for any real reason. I was just stumped for a username on another site, and when I thought of sunnyberra it seemed easy to remember and I liked it. So, now I use it for most sites I join -
Oh, and i thought it was describing your sunny disposition!
-
@ anok
If my family saw that, they'd laugh
But, hey, now that you mention it--I think I'll go with that reason, instead! It's so much better than mine *g* -
Well, I'm not exactly a ray of freaking sunshine myself - so compared to me, you're sparkling!
-
I thought it was the name of your ferret. What is your ferret's name, by the way?
-
@gtally
the name of the ferret in the picture is Yogi (my other two are Pixie and Sian).
-
-
I liked the imagery of two opposing ideas -- the freedom of the wind and the permanence of roots -- combined in a single thought package.
-
I like that poetical answer a lot better than if you had said it had something to do with Microsoft kernals.
-
Windroot is a medicinal plant that brings relief by making you throw up. Some will say the avatar works either way, I guess.
-
A barfing seraphim. Love it. Your avatar is now officially my favorite.
-
-
Just my name and birth year... Special to me.. :-)-
Simple, yet functional. Works for me.
-
-
Lord I Want to be Whole.......its the name of my blog! -
I haven't seen your blog yet. I'll go take a look. Do you need healing?
-
-
Harvey is the 6 foot rabbit in the movie with James Stewart. Avatar is the main user(pen)name of a close friend (R.I.P) whose forum musings I have translated on my blog.
-
Another of my all time favorite plays/movies. I saw an outdoor theater production of Harvey as a kid, and they made the rocking chair rock when Harvey sat down in it, with no one touching the chair. To this day, I have no idea how they did it...
-
One of my favorite movies of all time. How many people remember Jessie White these days?
-
-
My first name backwards and my area code.-
That's not the number of women who've slapped you?
-
Makes sense. What area code is that?
-
-
It's a fruit that grows in my region.-
That's a kind of plum from the south of France, right?
-
-
My name is taken from a Gothic rock band called The Sisters of Mercy.-
Really? What are their greatest hits?
-
This Corrosion and Temple of Love were the 2 singles that did quite well in the charts, though I like Under the Gun.
-
-
i used to have a blog about the 'musing of a smart-ass chick' and my user name is a truncated version of that. of course that's no longer my blog, but u know....-
Gotta run with the theme, for consistency's sake, right?
-
-
Because I think too much.-
What's wrong with being a thinker? Are you a worrier or an over-analyzer?
-
Not a worrier at all....I'm a very literal over analyzer type.
Sux to be me sometimes, lol. But I don't worry about it. :-D
-
-
Unlike a certain basketball player who won't be mentioned, I am actually a doctor (of philosophy) and my name is actually Jay...and I was born in 1966...-
Do you teach philosophy? Who's your favorite philosopher?
-
-
Simply my first and middle name, in lieu of the former name I mostly used on boards like this: LYNNEA OF HEAVEN.-
Why of heaven?
-
My middle name, Urania is Greek for "of heaven."
-
-
I'm mad I tell ya, mad.-
Lovable mad!
-
awww, shucks. thank you.
-
Yeah, you're "Mad in the U.S.A."
-
-
I edit and enhance photos
-
The name says it all!
-
-
The reasoning behind my username is far too deep and complex to write here.-
Can you give us the Cliff's Notes version?
-
I was using my sarcasm font when typing above statement
-
Ha! I was using my gullible font. I frequently do.
-
I will let you off just this once
-
Uh oh. Then I'm in trouble! (the wine hotel said naively).
-
Never take someone with a bra on their head seriously
-
-
Quality and value at an affordable price.-
LOL! and LOL again!
love your sense of humour! -
"Quality and value at an affordable price, or your aardvark back!"
-
-
As unsual as this may sound. Kingjoe is my real first name.-
That's awesome.
-
Thanks. I apperciate the name now but when I was younger I thought my parents were on crack when they made the name up. You can imagine the teasing in school. Sticks and Stone. LOL
-
Kingjoe definitely has a coolness factor about it. I can't repeat what my friends call me, or this post would be deleted by the admins!
-
-
Stillthinking was shortened from I'm Still Thinking About It, which is something that comes out of my mouth at least once a day. Especially at Starbucks with a line of people behind me spewing smoke from their ears.
-
I guess the kitty cat likes more than just the cream at Starbucks.
-
What's your favorite Starbucks coffee or tea?
-
-
Food Here is the name of my convenience store and blog! I wanted to use my real name, Mr. Ram Sylvester Venkatararam but it was too long.
THanks for asking!!-
I'll have to check your blog out. Not too many store convenience store owners are using social media to capture new customers, so I think you're onto a really good idea, here.
-
-
Chicky is a nickname my friends have been calling me for years the 401 is a special birthday to me, one of my children. And yes she was born April Fools Day-
Really? My birthday is in April, too. So, another Ares, huh? We're known for being a bit stubborn.
-
-
Do I really need to explain? Just do it.-
Name sez it all.
-
-
It's a character from an anime that I can relate to. Another online community gave me this name, and I decided to use it in BC for the sheer heck of it.-
Outside of Howl's Moving Castle and Akira, haven't seen too much anime. What movie/TV show does your character come from?
-
-
-
Has sort of secret agent man ring to it.
-
-
Mine was my initial real name and my nickname-
Pretty straightforward, to say the least.
-
-
love to get drunk-
Is that what gagaukon means? In what language?
-
-
Ophase indicates an experiment called "Zero phase" in physics.
I'm not using zero though. "O" is like zero anyway.-
Now that's a well thought out, cerebral username! Are you a physicist? Did you major in physics? E=MC2 and all that?
-
-
-
Something we could all use a little more of.
-
-
I found my name while searching a name for the community of international blogging ladies I established.
I didn't want to use 'women' or 'female' in the name (too heavy, too dull) nor make it to 'ladies' (in line with 'Ladies Who Launch').
So MrsBlogInternational looked good and informative.
MrsBlog is a shorten version of it.
haven't checked however how many of MrsBlogs there are at the Web already....-
Why not MsBlog? Is there a Mr.Blog?
-
Mrs is known by me much more then Ms (since I have learnt English in Europe).
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mrs.
Mr. Blog would be actual once MrsBlog International mrsbloginternational.ning.com/ goes so well that I will establish the MrBlog community.
Eventually, once I am already a millionaire on those 2, I will establish one more, where all MrsBlogs and all MrBlogs can meet together and the trilogy will be completed!
p.s. in the real life there is no MrBlog yet as my Mr does not blog at all. But I am working on it!

Years back Ken (the techie one on this blog) was learning to fly. He never got as far as learning instrumentation for night and bad weather flying, so he remains a dayflyer.-
Probably safer, anyway. I have a phobia of small planes. How many flight hours has Ken logged, so far?
-
About 100, but he hasn't flown for some time now, so he'd probably have to get some remedial flying in before being let out on his own again. It's difficult in Greece as all the airports are designated as military ones - do you remember that incident a couple of years ago where people taking photographs of planes were arrested for spying?
He used to be good at bumpy landings!
-
-
ckent27 = Clark Kent (my love for Superman)
27 = my age at the time I picked that.
Michael Rivers is what I wanted to use, but it wouldn't let me. HAHA-
Faster than a speeding blogger! More powerful than a biting discussion thread! It's a bird, it's a plane, it's SuperMike!

DaivRawks is a "Hooked on Phonics" variant of "Dave Rocks".
My online nom-de-plume has been "Daiv" since 1987 or so, after a series of typos on online BBS's accidentally took my name from -David to -Davi (with much laughter) to -Daiv which stuck and has been with me ever since.
I saw a band in Chicago from Sweden not much later. I forget their name now, but their introduction was "We're so-and-so... we're from Sweden... and we RAWK!!"
When signing up for some online service, I needed a longer username than simply "Daiv" (too short for their rules), and I thought of that band and "DaivRawks" was born. I've used DaivRawks now, as my "Branded" name on Social Media since 1994. I'm on everything from Squidoo to Twitter with that same name, and it makes it easier for people to find me.-
Cross platform marketing is more powerful and more consistent. I endeavor to do the same.
-
-
My user name was the first thing that popped into my head when I registered. Calais is a city in France and 50 means nothing.-
Have you traveled to Calais? And is it nice?
-
-
The meaning of my first name which was given to me by my maternal grandfather is "strong". It's a reference to the fact that I was a breech birth and that I struggled very hard for my life at birth. In a way it's also a prophetic utterance for that struggle to remain alive has continued throughout my life. My blogging "handle" and BC username is a name I chose that denotes the fact that I have twice stolen my life back from the grim reaper by surviving life threatening situations.
-
I always use my own name in each and every site and never use something out of blue. Here i have used my first name.-
Honest and forthright.
-
-
My user name is named after the product that my company sells.-
How are they moving in this economy?
-
-
-
Cool.I'll check out the post.
-
-
supreme intelligence honest-
Noble connotation to the UN and something for all of us to aspire to. But is it Robin J or Rob in NJ?
-
-
SAHMinIL = SAHM (stay at home mom) in IL (Illinois)-
Again, gotta love the acronyms.
-
-
Its just my name lol. I'm not creative I guess lol-
Njaila is a great name. I've never heard it before. What does it mean?
-
-
Lunais = I used to use Luna a lot and wanted to revamp it a bit. So the "French" version came out-->Lunais lol-
I like the thought put into your UN. Are you French? Do you speak French?
-

Mt. Halcon is the fourth highest mountain in the Philippines. Its 2586 meters height towering over the hills and verdant mountains occupies the north-south mountain range of Mindoro Island, my place of birth. Around its slopes are found the eight ethnic minorities with their preserved culture and heritage and unaffected civilization, one of the few remaining here in the Philippines. Generally, these people are called the "Mangyan", the true bloodied “Halconites”.-
Now here is the granddaddy of great answers and evocative thought put into a UN. Now I feel kind of stupid for just dragging my knuckles across the keyboard when I chose my name! What island in the Phillipines is Halconite located?
-
As I have said, I'm in Mindoro. Occidental Mindoro.
Thanks. -
Whoops! I missed that part. Have you ever climbed the mountain?
-
I do not have the expertise (and physical prowess) to do that. Besides, Mt. Halcon already claimed hundreds of local mountaineer's lives. As an old saying goes, "The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.."
I was not able to climb the mountain but I had a lot of chance hearing the real Halconites' fascinating stories about the peak. And I treasure them very much... -
It's interesting you should say that. Two days ago, I saw a slideshow presentation given by someone who climbed Mt. Everest. His photographs of the mountain were beautiful and terrifying at the same time. There are so many ways to die mountain climbing, plus the overall sheer physical effort, it'll never happen for me. But if I ever made it to Kathmandu and then base camp one, that would be plenty good enough for me!
-
A Mangyan tribal leader once told me : "Ikaw ang bundok" (You are the mountain)reminding me that we do not only conquer mountains but ourselves...
-
That's profound. I'm writing that down. Words to live by.
-
More of "Ambahan" (Mangyan poetry) just visit: www.mangyan.org/ambahan/index.html Thank you...
-
-
Lifeposter = I post articles about life
-
Life in all its myriad possibilities, both good and bad? Or do you accentuate the positive?
-
-
Well UTP is actually be the initials of my full name but I prefer....Uniquely Thought Provoked!!!
I actually have a section on my blog where I take suggestions of different abbreviations.
Give it a shot www.umarpirzada.com/blog/un-abbreviate-utp/-
How about Utilizing Total Potential? Sounds like a fun game to play.
-
-
There are so many Gentledoves on the net that when I came up with Totton linnet poem, I adopted it as my new name, unfortunately on B.C you can't change names.
gentledove2.wordpress.com-
Yeah, much to my chagrin, I've found out that once you've chosen your UN, you're stuck. Wish I'd been a bit more creative. Not familiar with the poet. I'll have to check out Totton Linnet on Wikipedia.
-
-
Half Crazy. It's a song by a Filipino band, Freestyle. And well, 'Half Crazy' (not the song) kinda describes my personality. Sometimes totally serious, sometimes totally different, I can be mature and immature. And no, I don't have dual personalities LOL.-
Just loads of fun, right? Crazy in a good way.
-
-
My name is taken from
8posts.blogspot.com/-
And not the Cable News Network? What does it stand for? Is it a technical acronym?
-
-
i have no personalites i guess. www.livtotravel.blogspot.com
-
But, it's always good to travel!
-
-
I'm crazy...what else would "fruitcake" mean?-
Dare I say erm.......... Fruitcake?
You may be a big fan of all thing fruity and cake like
-
The funny thing is...I hate fruitcake (but that pic makes it look a little yummy ).
-
I like it, but hate the cherries they put in it
Plus hating yourself and/or eating yourself is not healthy... -
What can I say...I'm working on it.
-
I wont ask which bit your working on..............
-
I think they make fruitcake (the dessert) out of space shuttle tiles or something. It's indestructible. I tried burning one on my backyard grill once and nothing happened.
-
-
its the name of the song I was listening to when I signed up. All of my user names are chosen like that-
But what if you'd been listening to the Bangles at the time? Your user name might have been "Walk Like An Egyptian." Too scary to contemplate...
-
-
Caliza is a combination of my first and middle names (Catherine Elizabeth) and I use it all over the internet for stuff. On the off chance it's taken, I'll use Catliza or CalizaMati (Mati short for Matilda - which is taken from the book Matilda by Roald Dahl).
-
Anything by Roald Dahl is a masterpiece. My favorite as a child was "The Twits." So dark and funny at the same time.
-
-
It is the name of my photography business.-
Is your avatar also your company logo?
-
-
Clay's my name--Darrow is an addon.-
Does "Darrow" mean anything to you? Or did you choose it at random?
-
-
its my call name and im pretty LOL ....*peace!
hahahaha-
Gotta love a lady who has self confidence!
-
-
gamertag in xbox. Forename and Surname sort of thing. Not Thebi Gandy T like i've previously said though. 'The Big' is just a slight over exaggeration of my roundness-
Or maybe you're just livin' large, thebigandyt!
-
-
@ gtally
Na, had to give that up. My idea of a wild night now is staying in and messing about on BC-
This is hardcore, man! We're keepin' it real on the streets of BC!
-
I hear ya
-
-
Mine is a label to describe the situation I'm in
-
Ouch. Sounds messy. You are the other woman or there is one?
-
-
It's a hacky sack trick. Curious folks could see a demo of a drifter at footbag.org, except usually people start to back away slowly when I talk about hacky sack tricks.-
When did you start to play hacky sack? Middle school, high school, or college?
-
-
My own name, which means "Princess."
-
I thought that Rahman is the Arabic word for merciful. Does it also mean princess?
-
@gtally I wrote the meaning of what Sarah refers to. As for Rahman, true, it means being merciful.
-
Thank you for sharing, merciful princess! Sorry about the mix up.
-
@gtally My pleasure
-
-
because i love to travel =)
-
As long as you're traveling some place fun, then the hassles of travel are outweighed by growing, learning and enjoying new things.
-
-
Good question! I actually wrote a blog about it once!
radioflyer1980.wordpress.com/2008/11/23/etymology-of-an-e-mail-address/
For those who don't want to read the whole story, it was my CB handle way back when.-
"Breaker, breaker good buddy. We've got smokies on up the line."
See? I guess watching "BJ and the Bear", "Dukes of Hazard" and "Sheriff Lobo" in my tender young years really paid off! Now, I'm off to listen to "Convoy" on my iPod.
-
-
Alan - my name
G - the first letter of my surname
NW - north west - I used to live in the NW of England (I don't now so that bit isn't relevant)
Been using the name all over the place since I set it up as my email address on an AOL account many years ago...-
I try to be as consistent with my usernames as possible, because I'm simply too scatterbrained to remember anything different. Sometimes, I use my home state, Colorado, as a variation on "WineCountryInn," so I understand using the whole location aspect as a part of a UN.
-
-
It is reflective of what i did and do for a living and where I am located. I am a professional bass angler and radio host, (retired), and a tournament angler. I live in delaware so it is is Delawarebass, indicating where I live and what I fish for-(largemouth bass).-
Simple, straightforward, uses your location, just like me (see above). What's biggest bass you ever caught, and did you mount it on a plaque? And does it sing bad pop tunes like those other novelty talking bass?
-
That is funny. I caught a 12 pounder in Florida, and I caught one that was almost the state record in delaware at 10.16 pounds.
check out my blog at giantlargemouthbass.blogspot.com
I have pics and videos there as well. Steve That picture is wrong I updated the profile. That was a photo of a trainer I did a site for at Golds gym where I work out.
-
-
mentoringbyjenny is, I am a mentor training people who are in network marketing and needs help to become successful
and jenny is my name-
What is the difference between a mentor and a life coach? Or is it the same thing?
-
-
Mine is just a revision of my website name.-
Like it. A direct bit of marketing *and* easy to remember!
-
-
My name just has to do with the website I work on most of the time. HeadStonesGenealogy.com-
What area/time period to you work on specifically for headstones?
-
-
At this time we are in southern CA. in the Orange County are. We will be up here for about another 6 month to a year then we will be off too a new place. But we do have volunteers in Fl,WA,and OK at this time. Always looking for more. The time frame all depends on size of cemeteries and depending in what gets in the way of life.
-
It means "the name, minus my middle name, that my parents gave me when I was born." That's rather long so I just used "Joel Klebanoff", without the space, instead.-
Can we just call you "minus" for short?
-
I've been called worse. And that's by my friends.
-
-
Mine is simple - Jendyptp = Jen Did You Pack The Passports? (clearly the answer would be no) but that is indeed my blog address! x-
Makes sense. Do you love to travel?
-
-
Mine's very cleverly the name of my blog TV's Worst Advert.
Not just a hat rack, my friends...-
Do you remember Dan Ackroyd in "Saturday Night Live" as the slimy TV salesman:
"It's a floor wax and a dessert topping!" What, in your opinion, is the worst advert ever?
-
-
i think it's pretty obvious, i'm a fan of jane austen. -
Really? Which one of hers is your favorite novel?
-
-
well rose for the street before you turn on to get to my house and victor for my real name
-
Rose is a nice name for a street. So what do you prefer, Victor or Vic?
-
-
It means I am wonderful at typoing my name. Shirley. -
Either way, we love ya!
-
-
No great mystery here... I like to experiment with energy, gravity, and physics. These are my favorite reading topics as well. So I have always loved LAB COATS so... my personal vision was that of the classic carzy hair'ed nutso scientist.-
Do you ever rub your hands together, plan world domination and let out an evil mad scientist laugh?
Here's my mad scientist laugh: MWAH, HAH, HAH, HAH!
It helps if you curl your fingers and claw the air a bit, and bolts of lightning flash dramatically behind you. -
You love lab coats? I can totally relate, I love aprons, and perhaps that's because of my love of baking and cooking. I would LOVE a full wardrobe of aprons, as I'm sure you'd love many lab coats -
You know... now that you put it like that... kind of makes me sound a bit like a cross dresser... NOT THAT THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT... IF its your thing. But its not really mine.
I guess the lab coat just makes you look smart. Might be the pocket protector too...or the really BIG Texas Instruments Calculator sticking out of the pocket... Quenticential NERD

@gtally: persuasion. mansfield park comes in 2nd.
-
It's my first initial, my last name and 1134 is a time that my husband and I see a lot. We used to long distance date, and we'd talk morning and late night, and it just seemed like around that time when we'd look at the clock it would be exactly 11:34. Honestly, no other time stands out. It can be mid-morning on a weekend and I'll be cleaning and I haven't looked at a clock since I've woken up and I'll just walk through the kitchen and glance, and there is 11:34 staring back at me.
-
Sweet story. Like your UN!

An educated vagabond was a term created by my friend Bess. She explained she is an educated vagabond because she travels the world, never settling in one place for too long or really unpacking, but always pursuing an education in the process. The education is academic but also based on worldly experiences.
Like Bess, I continue to travel in pursuit of an education that is academic, emotional, intellectual and spiritual. I am an educated vagabond!-
A good philosophy to live by, and a nice way of life.
-
-
Ummm that I am shy?-
Makes sense to me!
-

Nothing exciting for me. Warnie after the Australian cricketer - one of my two nicknames when I lived in Melbourne!-
I once had a cat named Elway, after Denver Broncos quarterback John Elway. Same thing, sort of.

I'm glad you asked!
My name does require a bit of explaination..
It means I literally suck on code.. like put it in my mouth and suck on it until I understand it..
I dunno -
It is my pool and snooker nickname. -
It' my name and my two middle intials...my dad couldn't make up his mind -
My brain is more like a Linux box than anything else, because it can do many things at the same time quickly, but requires lots of attention and understanding as to exactly what it's doing. Also, it rarely falls prey to the nasty "viruses" of narrow-minded thinking, blatant ignorance, and naivete. There's a different and more general explanation of why everyone's brain is like a Linux server on my blog also in case anyone is interested. -
vijayanths:
vijay- My first son's name.
anth-last four letters of my second son's name.
s- the first letter of my name shankar.

Mine is the same name as my blog which I picked because I live in the mountains and I love to burn sage incense. -
i made mine after hurricane katrina hit. i needed a new e-mail b/c my e-mail was hosted by my school, tulane, and their server was done for weeks/months. i was at a friends grandmas' house far away from my home, feeling low, and i opened a book of poems and the first one i saw was one called honeymoon apples. i liked it. -
I've had my domain name forever, and finally decided to do something with it. I like to keep my usernames fairly consistent. I feel that ReachingMyDreams reflects who I am becoming, even if my dreams change :-)
