Where did your username come from?

As for my screen name: My name is Tim and I am from Texas.

Although if I relocate 12 miles north of here, I would have to change it to Tim_OK.

Tim

well... i like the outdoors and do alot of hiking up mountains and on trails going into the woods, so I consider myself sometimes to be a woodsman, and 25 cause when I joined I was a few mounths away from turning 25.

Well Zara is the name of a character from my writings; the one I feel most connected to.

several people have told me i remind them of Bridget Jones ( i don't know if its a compliment or not!), hence the name Bridge.

I wasnt feeling creative so I made my username "username", but it was already taken so I added "88" (the year I was born).

Mine is because I just seem to make quick, unimportant appearances everywhere. I walk in, everyone knows me and says "Hey, it's Nic!" but I ultimately have little effect on the plot.

My (then) three-year old niece (now 15) gave me my nickname.
That, and I've got a few cats home, hence Katou.

Mr MacPhisto came from U2

Dueing U2s Zoo TV tour Bono use to dress in different characters at the beginning he wore black leather and called himself The Fly and in the encore part Bono would wear a gold suit and call himself Mr MacPhisto and he use to play prank calls to world leaders.

There was already a thread on this but I forget where but what the heck.

I got likedcalico from when I was picking a msn nickname and I picked Calico because of my cat. I have a Calico cat. I loves Calicos and are my favorite kind of cats. But that name was already taken so it had four options and I didn't want numbers so I selected likedcalico. I'm bad with comon up with alias names so I didn't think to come up with LikeCalico or CalicoGirl. I could have also used Calico1985 because of my birth year but it didn't occur to me when I selected this username. I try to keep all my names the same so I used this name again when I registered here. I go by Calico now when I register on forums and likedcalico if Calico is already taken.

Mine is very self-explanatory.
I got it from people at school calling me "The Anonymous Dude."

mine is from my love of oxymorons, and my old facination with Ravens

for those of you that don't know, and oxymoron is a phrase or statement that contradicts itself (ravens are black)

Mine is my nick name... Age, my real name is Adrienne. The numbers at 1-6-00 which the day of my brothers death when he got killed in a car accident. I usually use Age219, which is my birthday 2-19.

Being Normal Is Vastly Overrated

From the Stargate SG-1 character/Egyptian deity Anubis.

the full name is jijinmachina

jijin = "suicide" in Japanese

machina = latin for "machine"

It is an allusion to the plot device "deus ex machina", in my case the deus ex machina would be suicide.

Also a slight allusion to my favorite drug DXM (D Ex M)
