I seem to be living up to my Nic-Name pretty well. However I seem to be a little more Cockney and a little less Rebel. Like the prototypical Cockney, I tend to go on about anything and everything. If I feel comfortable with a group of people, I'll start talking, or if I visit this Website, I'll start posting non-stop. I also mention a few things about London. It's almost like I have Verbal Diareha, in person, or when I'm online, I have Verbal Diareha of the fingers. Sometimes, I wonder if I'm driving everybody crazy with the number of posts that I type, or discussions that I start. However, I haven't taken part in many trolls. (That would be the Rebel part) If I'm driving all of you up the wall, I want you to tell me.

You entertain us all with your dedicated (if a little baffling to a native) Anglophilia... :)

Considering Néant Humain means Nothing Human, I hope not to live up to my name.

I like your posts Cockney Rebel. The things you say about England remind me of Ireland. The cultures are very similar.

As for living up to my name - Zephyr means "a gentle breeze", and with most gentle breezes you don't really notice they are there, which is alot like myself most of the time.

Mich is short for my first name. If I lived up to my nick, I would be WeirdCrazyNotNormalGirlWithWorkingSinuses, but that's far too long to remember.

I have an interest in comets, stars and outer space, so yes, I think so.

I also find it hard to choose a good username.

I definitely live up to my nick-name. My name is Vincent, I use Mac OS X (and I am a computer geek.)

My nicknames have no point to them.

My internet nickname is taken from a song and my real life one's, we'll, I have no clue.

Absolute Zero is my name here and for MSN.

It reflects my love of the cold, serenity of winter and my own protective emotial flatline state that has protected me in my life. When I get into trouble or trauma I resort to the state of "absolute zero" in which logic takes over and emotion becomes a distant second. This technically renders me somewhat psychopathic but eliminates depression entirely.

For instance when a good friend of mine died of Leukemia last year, the "state of absolute zero" took over. I had a duty to console his family and friends and I took it on as a job. He used to be a big fellow weighing more than 200 lbs and I watched him shrink to mere skin and bones. It really bothered me at first but then I started seeing the reality and began making the best of the situation. I told his cousins, friends (many of who were my friends too) and brothers (both my friends) stories of inspiration.

In other instances like at work for example: There could be a disaster, a machine will stop working and all the product starts leaking all over the floor. I am always the one that is calm and out there making solutions.

That is the best explaination of Absolute Zero..

I just picked Arashi because I like the word. It means "Storm" in Japanese.

But come to think of it, my brain always has a storm raging inside, so it's probably an apt nickname. :)

Have you ever seen The Storm Riders 1998 it is a chinese movie where two martial arts characters(Wind and Cloud) can combine their powers to create storms and defeat the evil Lord Conquerer. Its pretty good. I would say better than Crouching Tiger as their is better effort to make it believable, at least within the context of the story, Crouching Tiger looks good but it has too many unbelievable elements. Or the Perfect Storm 2000 or Satan's Triangle 1975. Just a short list of good bad weather movies.

Well, my nickname is my name, so I guess I've been living up to it for 41 years.
Actually, Cindy is a nickname for Cynthia, which comes from the Greek Cynthus, sacred mountain of the moon goddess Diana.
So I guess that makes me a LUNAtic. :wink:

I aim to live up to my nick name - I don't think I have entirely so far. I tend to crumble too much under pressue and agree to things too readily. I find it very difficult to say "No", I just seek the easy path out of any discussion. However when I hit a topic I am pashionate on I will go out to win the argument and counteract trivial points if I know they are wrong. :evil:
