This is like the "What does your handle mean", but here, I'm asking for a the deeper meaning of it.
----
Mine basically is my two fave worlds; one is fictional (Equestria) and the other real (Los Angeles); it means I am a MLP lover and a fan of SoCal in general.

It's from the lyrics to a song by Front 242 called "Circling Overland".

edit: may as well include a link to the song!

To make it deeper, I got the longer version of the song my name is based off. The Sakamoto version is longer than the YMO version, and has a bit more stuff going on I guess. The song is about his experience using mescaline (the active component of magic mushrooms.) I pretty much just think it's a cool song with a cool name, and Yellow Magic Orchestra is probably my favorite band. On other sites, I use other Yellow Magic Orchestra song titles as handles.

As far as some deep meaningful emotional meaning behind my handle? I don't know.

My full name is Corrinna and nicknames for that (used by family and friends) are:

Cory & Coz/Cozzer/CozPoz

So that's the first bit.

My date of birth is 28th of February so (in England) thats 28/02.

Putting that together and it makes CozPoz2802 :P

'tis a name that I've used for a long time, and I continue to use it out of sentiment.

And that I have a thing for both crystals, and stars. The meaning isn't all that deep, honestly.

Before my dad and most of his siblings changed the spelling of their last name it was spelled the same as a major brand of imported olive oil. The "mom" is because I have four kids.

It's a word I've liked from when I started playing the Violin (I don't play anymore, though). It has similarities to my real name (Miriam :roll: ) and then there was the confusing phrase my schoolmates put to my name - 'minimum amounts of maximum Miriam'. It's only written like that that I can make the tiniest amount of sense out of it.

It's also better than 'Merium' or 'Mariam'.
