Every time I see your user name in a thread, I hear Patrick Stewart saying that.

I still haven't found the avatar I want to use, but my user name refers to one of my special interests: music from Faerie-lore, which is something I collect and perform.

Edit:Okay, found my avatar. It's from a painting by John Bauer (1882-1918), a Swedish painter best known for his art of gnomes and trolls.

My user-name is simply the diminutive of my Christian name. My avatar is a painting
called "The Bookworm" by Carl Spitzweg.

I should be spending more time in the Arts and Letters forum instead of the Off The Wall section.

Avatar. I like wolves and ice.


CAN I SEE?! :D I love snow, even though it's cold and unbearable. It's very pretty. Especially when a full moon's light is right above it. How pretty that sounds.

I always wondered about people's usernames and pictures....

It took me a while to decide on my username. I wanted it to be cool, and not too babyish or weird. I picked The Jessi part because that's my nickname, and in Wonderland because I love Alice in Wonderland.

My picture is a picture of me that I took several weeks ago. I felt that it was the best picture of me to post that was just right for now. I may or may not change it later.

Sure I'll share it as soon as I can find the wire that connects my phone to my computer lol.

I'm an idiot when it comes to cellphones.

I came up with my username (which is pronounced "day-kart", by the way) after thinking of some of the various figures from the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment I had learned from my World History class. I was originally going to go with "Newton", but I finally settled on Rene Descartes, the 17th-century French philosopher who coined the phrase "I think, therefore I am." That's also my rank title, in Latin.

I chose my avatar because I liked how philosophically stimulating it was, just like my username.

My attitude.

Oh, if I was where I would be, then would I be where I am not; here I am where I must be, where I would be I cannot go.

The castle at Mow Cop. My life is bent around it.

I have my username because StripedTiger or SpottedDalmation would have been boring.

As for my avatar, I thought it was hilarious. For some reason the picture of George Bush eating a kitten is amusing for me, and cheers me up when I'm done. Im thinking of changing it to something like the buckeyes logo.
