        I'm really surprised that more people didn't get it, but that's okay, seeing as it has made the days of quite a few people. I'm surprised to have as many thumbs up as I do too. :D

        Eh, I don't mind to much since I just add a number. At first I was annoyed but then I just started adding numbers. Try it next or if, and hopefully it doesn't happen, your account gets deleted.

          hahahahaha so that's the deal with the numbers! I hadn't realized. Let me tell you, in certain cases, it's good to know their accounts have been deleted that many times (not yours though, I don't think we've ever come across each other).

  • squirrelgirl

    I chose this username because I tamed a squirrel around the time I created this account.

    Though a few days after creating this account, said squirrel scared me into thinking it wanted to attack me (I was acting too nervous around it apparently), so I decided to quit feeding squirrels.

    Username still fits though because of my weird personality.

    I also have a playstation network account that has the username: Smilesaycheese; which I had before this account. It has the same reasoning why I have this username too.

  • Avant-Garde

    Long before I signed up to the site, about a few months, I was saying that if I ever got a account on here that my username would have to be "Avant-Garde" . Then on that fateful day in November 2011, I occurred to me that I might as well sign up then because if I didn't and waited, someone might choose it before me... I do love the etymology and background on it. I think it really suits me.

  • GreyWarden

    I got my name from Dragon Age best RPG of all time. Grey Wardens were a centrical part of the 1st game. They pretty much took in a substance that made them better fighters so they could defend their homes better, but they only ha 30 years to live. "In war, victory. In peace, vigilance. In death, sacrifice." They were legit, and helped shape my view on life

  • KeddersPrincess

    Kedder is an evil sorcerer and the main antoginist in my "Alchemic" series. He is the most powerful sorcerer decending from great sorcerers and the spirit, Lex, before him. As prince of the Black Lands, he is known for being very seductive and beautiful, inevitably making him rather appealing to me.

    I chose my username because I thought it would be nice to be his princess :)

  • Paradiddle

    Mine is a very basic percussion rudiment whos pattern consists of RLRR or LRLL strokes on the drum, R and L meaning right and left of course. I could have chosen Ratamacue, Pataflafla or just Flam but this one seems the most normal and basic sounding. That said, I haven't practiced percussion seriously since high school even though I was good at it and seemed to have switched solely to piano. Thinking on it, I must fix that, as in tomorrow. Maybe. =/

  • kingsleycrowne

    There's a bit of a story behind mine. I am a writer/visual artist and I have a friend who is a graffiti artist. We collaborated on an urban project called "Crown's King Lines" which we dubbed "The thinking man's graffiti."
    Basically we would devise clever play on words and social commentary and write them on public walls, bridges, buildings etc. The Crowns came into it as we would draw crowns sitting the right way up when we were being positive about something and upside down when we were being negative. (These would sit above or below what we'd written) We photographed them and had a facebook page for the images.
    The facebook page has to be linked to someone's profile, so I created a fake profile on there of a "Kingsley Crowne" (which was itself a play on words, making a legitimate sounding name out of "King's Crown") I based the profile and all the profile information on an early graffiti neo expressionist artist Jean Michel Basquait. lol.
    The profile still exists to this day, but the project is now a thing of the past. I now use kingsleycrowne as my alias on many sites.

  • DarkMatter

    This site told me to choose a name which cannot be used to identify me. So dark matter is a type of matter which is mysterious and invisible. It cannot be identified. It is more than 27% of our Universe while normal matter (what we are made of) is only 4% (representing I am more than everyone. Don't take it as an offense). It only interacts with normal matter (what we are made of) by gravity (representing influence).

  • I used to have a marxist flare (now that i'm an economics major i realize that communism just doesnt work in modern, non-tribal societies. Even though marx's theories were pretty smart in a lot of ways.) but anyway back when i really used to ascribe to socialism I had this username for other sites. I didnt think i would be here as frequently as i am so rather than choosing something creative i just chose something that i could remember. Considering how much candid stuff i post on here i wish i didnt include my real first name...i know that sean is a common name but im always a little bit nervous that my friends who know that i used to be a communist will know that this username is me if any of them happen to drop by. Whatever, i dont have anything to hide, at the end of the day i dont care if i'm putting myself out there
