No big story here. I used to use OmegaSephiroth<random 2-digit number> on various sites/IM-clients. Came a time that I wanted to lose the association with the 'bishie' (as everyone was constantly calling him on my then-favorite site, GameFAQs - which I hae since stopped using the forums of, mostly), but Omega<number> didn't sound 'right'. So 'X'. My other favorite (at the time) game series, Megaman X.

Yeah, I'm such a geek. Gamer 4 lyfe! ;P

Wasn't going to post, but oh, what the heck. Short story. I am a flutist from way back, and I've always loved the macabre, especially in fairy tales. So Pied Piper just seemed appropriate. Did a search on the web for "female piper," found two different pictures, and snagged the figure and blurred the edges of the one that seemed most appropriate. (The other was tall and willowy--which I'd love to be, but heck, that's never gonna be me...Confused)

Strange I'm posting in here (as I only have a few posts), but I've been using this alias for a while.
It all started about four years ago, when I stole my sister's neopets account. We had a cat named Rafi at that time, hence 'rafigirl' (I R SO SMRT!). I lost my account, so I mosied over and hacked hers.
Even after Rafi died, I've still been using rafigirl for a while. It feels comfortable to me, it's hardly ever taken, and it's much easier than remembering 200000 passwords and account names!
If you search rafigirl on google, in fact, you'll probably get like 200 finds, all different accounts.

Im a comic geek...when marvel and dc did the amalgam universe they merged the riddler and the kingpin...that created Edward Fisk aka the Big Question...i felt the name should have been my username so i edited a little...I always loved the riddler..with the exception of one portrayal by an otherwise funny guy in a really bad batman movie

My name, not that anyone really cares, comes from a skater I used enjoy watch and had an opportunity to skate with, Natas Kaupas... This was about the time Final Fantasy came out on the NES... my first RPG. So I chose that as a name (though i think you could only have 4 letters as your name then not sure). That's the name I use everywhere now. except on my paychecks lol.

sidenote.. i noticed about a month later that it spells satan backwards, although it has nothing to do with anything... just pretty neat

Location: You'd like to know, wouldn't you?

My username was a brainfart, essentially. I was thinking of a username for my project playlist(really cool music site, and its free! Sorry, useless plug.)Anyway, I was thinking of one, and my favorite band was (and still is!) Avenged Sevenfold Rock On. So, one of my other discreet interests at the time was Feudal Japan (the age of ninjas and samurai) so one brainfart later, and out pops avengedsamurai (the number is random, despite its implications.)

Lately, my Runescape account is named Boxman314 (My friend from class gave me the Boxman nick, and I really like pie.) I was thinking of changing my name to yourmom, because I use that for Halo (on my friend's Xbox), but if I can't change it, then I'll create a new account.

By the way, the yourmom username came to be in a funny way. I was with a couple of friends playing Halo 2. There were four of us, One was named Sir-Snipes-A-Lot, Chunky Mayonaise (forgive my spelling), and Yourmom (couldn't remember the fourth one), so whenever on of them would kill me, it would read "You killed Yourmom" or another one is " Yourmom committed suicide" or my favorite " Yourmom was assainated".

Need I say more?

My boyfriend at the time (we've since broken up and have dated our separate ways) mentioned a movie he'd seen recently (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) and that I reminded him of one of the main characters: Clementine. That's her in the picture that I use for my avatar as well (I wish my hair were that color .. siiigh!).

I didn't really agree with him in reference to the likeness and whatever, but the name stuck in my head after that. I like it -- especially the phonetics. Plus, my Mom buys the little guys (mini oranges!) in boxes to eat from the store all the time.

And just think of all the awesome rapper names you can make with it: CTine, ClemT, ClemmyT, C to the Ine. Ohhh, the possibilities are endless (especially when you're me and you have no life .. no life whatsoever). Haha.

A couple of quotes...

Mal: She is a mite unpredictable. Mood swings, of a sort.
The Operative: It's worse than you know.
Mal: It usually is.
The Operative: That girl will rain destruction down on you and your ship. She is an albatross, Captain.
Mal: The way I remember it, albatross was a ship's good luck, 'til some idiot killed it.
[He turns to Inara.]
Mal: Yes, I've read a poem. Try not to faint.


Mal: It ain't all buttons and charts, little albatross. You know what the first rule of flyin' is? Well, I suppose you do, since you already know what I'm about to say.
River: I do. But I like to hear you say it.
Mal: Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of worlds. And love keeps her in the air when she oughtta fall down… tells ya she's hurtin' 'fore she keens… makes her a home.

So, in short, I chose the name so every time I write it, I can imagine Nathan Fillion saying it. That, and I'm a huge browncoat and it's obscure enough that it's not too obvious but still sounds okay even if you don't know what it means.

Let's see... I've been tygr20 since the beginning of the internet, as my sad, .tk webpage with one update since Decemberish, says on the front page. By the beginning of the internet, I mean 1995(which was when I learned what an internet was, and that you don't have to remember the http:// part). I always liked Blake's "The Tyger" and started to use "Tyger" as my IRC name back when TalkCity was where the cool kids would hang out. Then, I realized one day someone else was using "Tyger" and got into a big fight over who had the name first, etc, etc. Long story short, I became Tyger20. Just liked the number. Tyger20 started being used up more and more everywhere I went, so I took a damn ax( Flaming Nutter ) and knocked out the e, and lower-cased the t. Thus, tygr20. Amen.

I feel guilty about having not used the search button. Bang Head

I fence. With swords. And I'm fairly good, too.

Natas, I always thought your name came because it's 'Satan' spelled backwards xDD

Mine is pretty simple. I have been known as Fish both online and in RL for about 25 years. However in almost every website I go to "Fish" is already taken. So I added the jp (my initials) to keep me seperate from all the other Fish in the sea.
