How did you come up with your name on here?

My original name was " Morethingswrong: but it just didn't fit "me" anymore.
So I had it changed to my real name (duh)

I'm just curious

I... really wanted to use my standard username, but I didn't.

I've been told that my smile looks like Cheshire Cat. And I have always been a big fan of Alice in Wonderland and can relate to it... so... that was what I came up with. And it's such a popular thing that it keeps my anonymous.

Hey Christina,
I remember the MTM days! My name on here comes from my lifeline, the Blue Ridge Mountains. I don't live there anymore, but these mountains are where I grew up and where my husband and I were engaged. There are also other memories, most good but some bad, that are associated with the mountains. When I need a real moment, I take a vacation to visit my favorite stream and picnic spot. This is the one place I can really live in the moment with no worries.
Thanks for asking!

Well its becoz I'm always trippin or trippin ballz!
And I always "go big or go home" with everything (I'm learning moderation ) so that's why 2.0 was added.

There's a running joke about my anger "problem".... family and friends are "conspiring" to lavenderize all my belongings so that I can chill out and keep calm

No I'm not a raging lunatic, but I have no fuse nevermind short fuse and anger is the most comfortable emotion for me anyway

And then there's also the times my brain goes on an acid trip, sans the acid. Well thats what I hear from my reformed addict friends anyway. They are quite amazed and unnerved that my "symptoms" mimic illicit drug use.

Ooh ooh, and may I add that soon after I signed up here, bf's signature question after a *****fit became "Are you done trippin now?"

He hasn't a clue how funny that question is!

So yeah, thats the gist of it, I'm a tripper

I began as Roadrunner, but that morphed from someone on the run into someone going somewhere--on the road. Also reflected one of my careers, running shows on the road.

something i coined when I was like 13 and obsessed with space stuff. It's combination of planet Venus and astronomer Edmund Halley (and I hate when people call me "Hailey").



(partially it was inspired... taking name of an astronomer by a czech rock song "Kometa" about a young woman who tries to seduce astronomer by saying she's here and she's much younger then all the stars he's watching).

When I made this account I was paranoid that people I work with would know who I was if I used my normal online name. So I used a form of it: Dragoness... Ness... Nessa! Perfect!

The 213 I've used as a stand by add on for years. It was actually the birthday of a guy I had a hard core crush on a long time ago.

Well, my original name (dark_heart_x) was what I came up with because I was feeling very dark and shadowy at the time. I was going through a really bad time then, which I just call the bad time. The X is for the first letter of my true name, which I keep secret. Mysterious!

So, when I decided to change it because I had changed, I decided on faerie_moon because I usually have a faerie with the moon in my avatar, haha. But, I actually love faeries and the moon, too. Faeries are one of my favorite magical creatures, and I know quite a lot about them.

This good, less intimidating. I asked more than one member the origins of their avatar name and I think the responses were not productive. My name is anonymous like-a transformer/pokemon theme.

in high school, i fancied myself kind of a hippie - peace, love, vegetarian, animal rescuer/lover, etc. but i was also kind of wild in my appearance and actions. hence, wildflowerchild. plus i like wildflowers. the number was my age when i started here. now i'm 26.

My husband and I were enjoying ourselves at a small bay at the coast. He marveled at how well I could float on my back (he sinks like a rock). I was wearing a blue swimsuit, so he said I was like a big blue otter. Thus was born the username blueotter. I shortened it for this site and added 63-my birth year.
