Pretty much self explanatory.. I try to just go it one day at a time.. which is challenging sometimes because I have a tendency to project.

It's a twist on the song title Interzone by Joy Division

I liked that changing the one letter made it about what's inside.
Had held up joining PC till I could come up with a good enough name, lol. (Was a lurker for quite awhile.) Seemed to take forever, but as soon as it came to me, I knew it was the perfect one.

Mine is from a lesser-known New Order song (been a big fan of theirs for many years). I was scrolling through my iTunes, trying to think of a good name, and LonesomeTonight just seemed to work. Because, you know, that night, I was feeling kinda lonesome

I assumed "Atisket Atasket" was a traditional Eskimo name...

Took me a while to Google the "Brown and Yellow Basket" bit.

I have only heard "a tisket...a tasket" in a children's song...that we repeatedly play for the children

I had never heard of such a flower! Of course I know nothing of flowers, so it isn't that surprising, but still!

This has been a really interesting thread, thanks! My screen name came about because I was really confused about my relationship with my T. The 623 is a significant date to me.

Ella got it from that and updated it for adults.

[AlittleUnsteady]

Mine is from X Ambassador's song, A Little Unsteady. I love that song because that's how I feel a lot, and I love songs that have a good meaning lyrically.

[Unrigged64072835]

My name is Irish for seashore. I found it from a song by Maire Brennan (who was part of Clannad.)

[nonamecomestomind]

Bahaha, mine is obvious. I couldn't think that day

Oddly enough, I had just assumed you were a fan of the books The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy. I didn't make the connection with the flower (even though you have a picture of this flower in your avatar! stupid I know). The books are set during the French Revolution. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scarlet_Pimpernel

I picked it because I like Mona Lisa's smile wish it was more exciting but it just isn't! Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar

[AllHeart]

I used to have the biggest, warmest, most loving heart. I was all heart. Now, not so much. I'd change my name but I don't know to what.

[CPT_Fury]

Short for Captain Fury. Sometimes I have so much fury, not sure where it comes from. Captain..is well, just Captain

Because I like Monty Python but more importantly because I love how things get a different meaning because they have been misheard and misinterpreted, which is my whole life living with undiagnosed auditory processing disorder. Now I know to get people write things down if they don't want an oil filter when they have asked for flowers I would post a YouTube link to the clip but I'm on my iPad. Just look up Monty Python Blessed are the cheese makers if you like

[Wonderfalls]

I was in a hurry. The guidelines said nothing personal and nothing used before (There's a lot of those.) so I could only come up with Wonder Falls which was a wonderful tv show with a little magic. Nothing at all deep.

I want my anxious mind to be quiet, so "quiet mind" is a goal

[Liberada]

Mine is from the realization that I'd been liberated from all the stereotypical bs, at least in my head, at least at the time, of being raised fatherless. Not totally fatherless, I do have one, but he's never wanted anything to do with me. Totally shunned me as a kid. Then when my mom died (47 then, 52 now) my aunt told me that he told her that (when I was 4, when they split up) that if he couldn't be in my life all the time he wouldn't be in it at all.
So. After years of hurting and as a kid not knowing how to deal with the ********, then as an adult saying fu, I can be my own person, I find out this tidbit of info. ..... I am no longer liberated. I am now chained to the fact that I have to be a "good child" and respect and do for my father, NOT BECAUSE HES EVER DONE FOR ME, but because I was raised by good people and taught to respect my elders.
So, Liberada used to have meaning. Now...it's just a pretty word. ☹️️

[LadyShadow]

I used to be PlatinumHeart, I have no idea why I made that name. Back then my heart was as hard as Platinum I suppose.

But I have evolved into.....dun dun dun LADY SHADOW!!!

I feel comfortable with my darkness and the shadows and have learned to dwell comfortably in them. No shame in your darkness, it's a part of you after all!

[precaryous]

Precaryous- in that I'm often on the edge of danger or collapse of some kind.

The reason I spell it incorrectly is to keep anyone searching the word from accidentally finding my posts.

[brillskep]

brillskep stands for Brilliant Skeptic.

[coolibrarian]

I'm cool, and I'm a librarian.

Fellow Joy Division fan, here, too!

[fishin fool]

I wish I picked a better one, mine is so obvious and was the first thing that came to mind.
Obviously I love fishing and I would fish everyday if I could so fishin fool it is.
