Origins of your screen name

These are all really interesting and fun! Thanks to all of you who have responded so far.

My name is Jennifer, Jen for short, and I am very sensitive and 22 is my favorite number.

I originally wanted to be OctoberSunshine, but that was already taken. So I figured I was born in October and like black roses, so I chose OctobersBlackRose as my screen name.

It's a song by Arctic Monkeys. Plus, it's just kind of fun to be chatting as dangerous animals...what kind of animals? Are the animals actually animals, or are they something else?

My first child, Trey Francis was born on the 21st. He passed away 9 days later, triggering in large part several mental health issues. I used his name and birthday because I miss him and it makes it so i can maintain some anonymity.

I bought two poodles in hopes of training them to be trained service dogs to be by my side while I am manic. My husband wanted me to have a service dog in hopes of keeping me from wondering around in the middle of the roads during manic episodes. So far the training isn't going too well. I am having enough trouble just trying to get them housetrained.

Mine is pretty much what it is.

When I started meeting with my counselor and sorting all this out, I wanted a place to go and think or "not be" by myself. The trail.

I started out just walking and was sore after a mile. I kept going - lots to process. I always wanted to be a runner, but it just never clicked with me. One day, walking on the trail, I decided I really wanted to BE a runner. So, I started running. Last year I did my 1st half marathon.

I like that saying, "She decided she could, so she did!"

I have a beautiful Lilac Burmese cat who I've had since she was a 12 week old kitten, and she is now 10 years old. She has been a huge comfort to me when I have been ill, and when I talk to her, I call her Little Cat. We love eachother very much.

Fleetwood Mac song

I wanted a positive name that had a ring to it

I can get MANIC and I'm a certified coal MINER

I love creationism stories. Nammu, or Nama is a sea goddess( salt water) of Ur who along with the fresh water God created the world. i had want Enki but I posted about it and someone else took the name.

If I use my real name, I'll be easily indentifiable. How many Eustaces you know?.
Pirilin sounds lightweight and unimportant... almost a ghost.

BTW, I've been thinking about coming back to the forum, because I've been missing the action and also because I'm living in limbo. I didn't know how or where to start. There. For better or best, I'm back.

Welcome back.....you've been missed!!!

It's kind of an inside joke, but it came about one day when I was with friends in NYC and ran into Donnie Wahlberg and Jonathan Knight from New Kids On The Block. The rest is history as they say

I was really messed up mood wise when I created my account so not much thought went into it. Just my sons name with some numbers lol

I used to be kind of a hippie - all natural, vegetarian, loved animals and nature (no pot though). But at the same time I was kind of punk rock, so I had a wild streak. Hence, wild flower child. The 25 is just how old I was when I signed up for this forum.

I think I may have posted here before, but "Svan" is the first four letters of my first name (which is really Svanbjörn) and "Thor" is the first four letters of my last name.

There should be more Eustaces in the world. I wish I knew five Eustaces.

Welcome back, p! We all missed you.

I was trying to pick a username that was simple and the smell of fresh brewed roast came over me so I picked Coffeee cause I like it. The extra e was for uniqueness so I could use it as a username.

I had two cats named Chai and Latte when I was a teenager. I never had pets before. My pdoc actually wrote me a prescription for a cat to show to my parents. She thought it would be good for me to have a cat. She had been seeing me twice a week for a year. I ended up adopting two wonderful cats.

I use 16, because I was born on February 16.

I am a twin, my sis could not pronounce my real name Elizabeth...she would say bizlebeth.
bizi stuck....plus I was a very busy child!
My immediate family still call me this.

My name was given to me by a Marine buddy of mines wife. We have known each other for a long time. If anyone knows the background on the name there you go. Marine and a nickname.

My brain and its trip switch is behind my handle.


During intense explosions, where he's had to take a step back and allow the situation to de-escalate, my bf often used to ask "baby is it safe? Are you done trippin now?"

2.0 was just added for good measure to describe the magnitude.
