It's a shortened version of an e-mail. My avatar is the band My Bloody Valentine.

My username is my initials to my first and second name.

I made the "i *heart* NTs" image because I thought it would be funny to wear on a t-shirt to an aspie gathering (I never actually had the t-shirt made). I put it as my avatar because I find it funny in some way, and I really am quite fond of neurotypicals.

As I said on that "What does your avatar say about you?" thread http://www.wrongplanet.net/postxf120898-0-210.html :arrow:

Well if you seen a bit of the Simpsons you guys mite know that Moe is a guy who's a little misanthropic & a loner but he's sensitive & cares. He's really lonely & wants to find love. He's NOT a bad guy but he is extremely misunderstood & got a raw deal from life.
I can relate. I'm a loner who's slightly misanthropic because of bad expediences from life & others/society. I'm very lonely but others don't give me a chance. They are circumstances in my life that are beyond my control that people do not understand.



As for my user name :arrow: I use the same SN for most sites & I came up with this a couple years ago when I was having problems on other sites & needed to get a different ID for one. I was in a pinch & didn't really think about it much at the time but I started using it on other sites cuz I couldn't think of something better & having the same SN makes things easier. I don't really like this ID much at all. It's NOT unique & I'm not even a James Bond fan; I mostly liked playing that GoldenEye 64 game in high-school. I should think about changing it but I'm using this on a few other sites I'm active on so changing it would be very complicated & confusing for other members. But I do need to think of something really kewl & unique in case The Funny Music Project(aka The FuMP) gets a message board soon. I guess I could use my old one cuz it sounds like a good choice for that kind of site but I kind of want to let that identity stay dead cuz I had lots of problems on other sites

When I used to play Half-Life multiplayer (the OLD one) I put in the screen name "BlastMaster" on a whim, since it was fitting for the game. I started using it on message boards as well, and it got shortened to "Blasty" after a few people referenced me that way. I also found "BlastMaster" a bit too silly, and had discovered it was being used by a (c)rapper as well.

Though I no longer play games very much, Blasty is fitting in other ways. I love to shoot and collect guns, and I also went through a phase of homemade pyrotechnics right before 9/11/01 made that hobby seem like less of a good idea. :wink:

My avatar changes a lot, but currently it is Angel from "Rock and Rule," my most favoritest movie. :D I'm also a fan of Debbie Harry, who did the singing voice of Angel.

My username comes from when I was a toddler. Whenever someone asked me what my name was, I'd tell them my full name and then add "an Idaho Rose" at the end. I sincerely thought it was part of my real name and couldn't understand why everyone laughed when I said it. Coincidentally, I've lived in the state of Idaho my entire life and Rose is my middle name.

My avatar is subject to change on a fairly frequent basis, but almost all of the ones I use follow the theme of characters from films by Tim Burton since that is my special interest. Right now my avatar is of Sally the ragdoll from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Ever since I saw the movie as a child, I thought she was a very sweet character and the song she sings is one of my favorites from the soundtrack. I like the fact that she is holding a cat in this picture because I love cats.

My user name is the name given me when I was accepted into my...hard to describe...clan? Family of choice (as opposed to family of birth)? We're all a little strange and don't fit in anywhere else...and so when we found each other, it felt like a family. It sounds weird, I know, but there it is...

My avatar is the Weeping Angel from the Doctor Who episode Blink. I chose it because I can identify with them--they can't move if someone is looking at them. I know how that feels.

My name here is actually very unimaginative - my first name is Lou. The "just" part is a vague comment on all the labels people want to put on me because of my age, nationality, gender, sexuality, socio-economic status, etc. I dispense with all that.
The heart relates to a place in my head that I seem to return to. It's a long field of sharp green grass bordered by deep pine forest, in the middle of which an anatomically correct heart hangs in mid air. I don't know why it's there, but I feel it's an important symbol.

your sentiment is beautiful and well-written. i hope you find peace in that place.

The username is like Jay-Z, but with Asp instead of the Jay. Amazing creative skill on my part. I chose it at random because I had a Jay-Z song playing as I registered.

My current avatar is Moses holding an iPad. Coz, ya know, he had the tablets with the commandments, and the iPad is a tablet? I'm actually quite proud of my avatar, I made it myself :P

wicked graphic!
