questionboy

the name my son gave himself when he was 4...
he thought it was a cool name for a super hero........(probably based around me saying to him why do you ask so many questions boy?) his sister is known as super gem...original ha.

so i thought about being super gem...but went with questionboy...

but in other times i was known as unfetteredfun...
or fett for short

Well another childhood nickname for me. I used to have freakishly white blonde hair, still very light blonde now, but kids used to call me Snowy or Snowball. Which strangely used to be my Dad's nickname at school too!

A nick handed down through the generations huh Very Happy

Mine's a bit of a sad one really
The very first time I was setting up my gorgeous new bondi blue iMac (2nd March 1999) the news came on the radio that Dusty Springfield had just died.
At that VERY moment I was being asked for a username and always being a bit of a fan i entered Dusty kind of in her honor
And its sort of stuck

Mine kind of evolved:

Sheila got shortened to She by family;
which got expanded to She-the-La, also by family;
which got changed to SheBop by friends, from the Cyndi Lauper song, until we figured out what the song was about Embarassed

;
which got changed to SheRa, in honor of the Princess of Power (yes, I'm thoroughly an 80s girl)
Very Happy

Now technically it's supposed to have a hyphen, as in She-Ra, but I'm not really down with hyphens.

It's pronounced just like it looks.

Mine's not an interesting story.
I just thought that silhouette was a cool word.

Back in the mists of time when I signed up for my first ever email account (Hotmail), I tried to get the username 'JD' - it was taken, and 'uneasyjd' was the first suggested alternative. (It still terrifies me that Microsoft had such insight about my personality...)

Dorkmaster

My nick came in college when the guys and girl I lived with were all talking about our "dork strengths". My pal Todd was pretty rocking at Table-top games, and video games. My pal Heidi was all over the anime scene (before it became mainstream USA stuff, I'll have you know Smile

). My pal Geoff was all about fantasy-booky-stuff, and my pal Ziggy was all into swords, weapons and cool "fighting skillz". And I was more than a dabbler into all persuits, as well as having all this random pop culture mastery, especially pertaining to television and film trivia.

We essentially assigned ourselves titles: Dorkmaster#1-4, and since I was the one who actually went out and bought the "Hello, my name is..." badges, I got to be Dorkmaster#1.

Anyway, it's always been a badge of honor, and it always reminds me of my friends (who I haven't been in contact with for a long long while Sad

)

Not to mention, I'm a big dork, who likes dork stuff and things. (I once skipped school for a week so I could beat Resident Evil 2 with both characters twice-through... And don't even get me started on Final Fantasy (pre-online)..., hence the Sephiroth-anime-style avatar.)

spugmeistress

Spuggie was a girl in Byker Grove, a teeny tv show on children's BBC after you used to get in from school (around the same time as it spawned PJ & Duncan) who had curly ginger hair - she's also the one who does the annoying laugh in the theme tune. I think Spuggie is sposed to be some Newcastle slang meaning little sparrow or something, but either way, she was ginger, i was ginger, hence *all* the way through school, i got called spuggie.
internets rolls along and it turns out people are already called spuggie, but no, *I* was the true spuggie so spartacus fashion i became 'i am spuggie'
a friend off a message board coined me the spugmeistress, and here i am :)
rach =)

number9dream

number9dream just happened to be the title of the book i was reading, by David Mitchell, Booker prize shortlisted, sadly no cryptology or mathematical extravagance, but an interesting Mona Lisa Overdrive-esque trip out of this world and into the internet....

PS (and beside the point)
