Anbuend is Old English (Anglo-Saxon) for hermit or anchorite. I am in general fairly solitary and have thought that if I were born in previous times I might have been an anchorite nun, who took her last rites and then was put in a room within a church for the rest of her life, which was supposed to be spent in prayer. She was not really supposed to see anyone (being in many respects considered dead), although she could receive assistance from a couple of people (usually through a hole in the door). She was supposed to serve as a sort of spiritual "anchor", hence "anchorite" or "anchoress". I can see myself having made that choice if I lived in a different time, although I would not be likely to make it now (but I don't think anchorites exist in that sense anymore).

I didn't know what anbuend meant. We don't study Old-English at the uni, unfortunately.
The French word for anchorite is anachorète. I like the sound of both words.

Jennie Richee sounds a bit like my real name, and it's a recurring place name from outsider artist Henry Darger's epic narrative "The Story of the Vivian Girls, in What is known as the Realms of the Unreal, of the Glandeco-Angelinnian War Storm, Caused by the Child Slave Rebellion."
Darger was a reclusive man who worked as a cleaner and attended Catholic mass every day; the 15,000 page story and the hundreds of huge paintings that illustrated it were discovered in Darger's room only after he died in 1972, at the age of eighty.
The story and the paintings are beautiful but very violent and strange. Henry Darger is possibly not the best aspie role model, but I find his art and his whole imaginary world totally fascinating. It's well worth a look to anyone who enjoys unusual art.

I wanted to be called "Ozymandias" after the character in the book "Watchmen", but I noticed somebody else had already took the name (on AI) so I just left it.

Character from a bad/good 80's tv show.

I'm obsessed with London and I don't want to hide that obsession from anybody, because it's a part of who I am.

The Rebel part ahs to do with my liberated views about people with Disabilities, Women and People of Colour. If somebody says something about these three groups of people that I think is Out-dated or Out-molded, I tell people what my liberated opinions are. I also rebel against traditional Sex Roles, because I don't believe in them.

Néant Humain is French for Nothing Human. I came up with this when I was depressed a year or two ago. I imagined myself on defense at trial, and I would plea that I am subhuman, more like a dog or other animal, so if I were even suspected of wrongdoing, I should just be euthanized instead of going through the effort of a trial to find out whether I was actually guilty because a trial is for real human beings. I obviously don't have a very high opinion of myself.

My scren name is a distant permuation of that of the charcater model I use in UT2004

Bobcats live solitary lives except for mating. They live in wild, beautiful country, hunt at night if predators are near, walk with a lolloping gait. They weight around 15 - 25 lbs usually. I've seen one in the California mountains and it was magnificent! I too live alone most of the time and walk with a lolloping gait in beautiful country. When predators are near I lay low and avoid contact. But when attacked I'm fierce.

This is my real name- original huh?

Nothing too creative for me! Astronomy has been a recurring obsession throughout my life. Also, Astro was the Jetsons' dog. He speaks funny and makes me giggle...

My real name's Cody, hence "Code-Man"... and I'm a programmer, at that, so it's doubly fitting.

So that explains most of it... but what about that last part? Well, I was in the national spelling bee back in 1997, and the number on my placard was 38.

Wowbagger is a character in Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy book series who, having immortality thrust onto him by an unfortunate accident, decides to while away his miserable eternal existence insulting everyone in the universe in alphabetical order. More here.

It sounds like something I should like to do if I could.
