No fair

Im known as howzat cos im in 2 cricket n most of da tym i bowl so i always appeal howzat short form of thats out.

It came in a vision - a man appeared in a flaming pie and said unto me,
From this day on you are Greanblue with an 'A'

Later I messed up with that when joining and decided to leave it like that.

Mine is a character from "Catch-22". If you haven't read it yet, please do.

mine is a combination of my two kids names

Jacob and Caleb, hence Jaleb

Mines an old nickname that I use as my "Given Name" is an horrendous atrocity against man and I haven't used it in FOREVER. It's one of those names that theres a lot of names like it, but none QUITE this #%%%^&* up. I use my middle name and have for decades now.

I love heavy metal, and Metallica is one of my favorite bands. It's the begining of Low Man's Lyric. A song that I find dark, beautiful, and matching how I feel at times.

I've always wanted a boyish name. In fact, my parents thought I was going to be a boy when my mother was pregnant and had planned to call me Aaron, but they didn't. Which is a shame, I'd have been perfectly happy being called Aaron. It's one of my favourite boy names. My little brother was named Aaron, instead.

When I was younger my cousin started referring to me as Benjamin Bunny one day and it stuck for a while. Even when she stopped I carried on using the name Benjamin online. Eventually someone shortened it to Benji, so since then I've been known as Benji. I also go by the name Benji in real life, at punk gigs (I don't have any proper friends there, but I do know a fair few people well enough for them to know my 'name').

I prefer people calling me by nicknames than my real name, for some reason.

My name comes from the film "2001: A Space Odyssey", directed by Stanley Kubrick. The second part of the film is titled "Jupiter... And Beyond The Infinite".

My nick comes after German singer Joachim Witt.

Here is one of his songs:

His melancholic songs express in best way my own mental state.

It's a Russian word for "wizard."

from the Styx album Kilroy Was Here

I am a total spaz, & I love Stitch!
This screen name was sort of given to me on another forum several years ago, it seemed to fit well with my personality, & now I use it everywhere.

My nickname comes from two places: 1.) my current special interest in Scorpio/Pluto astrology and 2.) I have 4 planets in Scorpio plus Pluto on the ascendant. Thus, my personality is ultra-enigmatic and difficult to understand, just like Pluto's place in astrology.

Mine's a song by Machinae Supremacy.

The fire it knows me
and I
can walk through the blaze without a mark

forever it owes me
the life
I lost in the dark

The higher it takes me
the more
I'm able to reach outside the walls
of our perception
and grab a piece for us all
