Amazing film and if you haven't seen it, GO WATCH NOW <3


I love that movie!!!

Re: Where did your username come from?
 
Well, I didn't want anyone to know my name, and I am always finding ways to escape from reality, it's one of my goals in life.

So, I came up with escape_thereal_world, which totally describes everything about me!

My roommate recently introduced me to The Shaggs. We listened to their song "My Pal's Name is Foot Foot" about twelve times a day for a week.

It was between that or CodeMonkey from the song "Code Monkey" by Jonathan Coulton.

Re: Where did your username come from?
 
It's my middle name.
Didn't really feel comfortable sharing my real name.
And I didn't want to not have a name for people to identify me with.
Like having my name as, I don't know "purplepig".. would have been weird because I'd feel like a computer if everyone called me purplepig all the time. It's not me, it's not a name.. so yeah I chose my middle name

mangoe March 27th 2009 04:16 AM

Re: Where did your username come from?
 
I like mangoes... especially in smoothies mmmm.
I know it's spelled like mango, but I put an E at the end cuz that's just my steez yo!

SillyEvee March 27th 2009 09:12 AM

Re: Where did your username come from?
 
^Mmmmm...mangoes...

The Evee part of mine came from Evidamment vivante, French for Clearly/Obviously alive. I made it at a time I was feeling particularly invisible. Later I saw that it was EV...like Evee...the best pokémon after Charmander. I also like the way it ties into Eve, Evening, Ever...there are lots of good Ev words.
The silly is just a fitting adjective...for everything: me, life, pokémon, French...

DarkBlaze13 March 27th 2009 05:17 PM

Re: Where did your username come from?
 
Hum...I don't really know why I came up with my name. But I use it for almost everything.
I first created it for a Monster Hunter account...I think I wanted to have something to do with fire or something...
Oh yeah! I kinda remember. I was obsessed with the pokemon houndoom for a while which is a dark fire type (*nerd*)...except having the name DarkFire sounds kinda lame and blaze sounded a lot better...so DarkBlaze it is!
13 was added because it's my favorite number (or at least, that's why I add it now. At the time I think it was because I was 13)

bitesize March 27th 2009 06:42 PM

Re: Where did your username come from?
 
Slight embarrassment now. :bleh:
I joined TeenHelp nearly two years ago, back at the end of fourth year. Soon before my ...joination, I'd been chatting with friends when the topic of eating each other came up (Don't ask.) and one of them remarked that I'd be 'bitesized' because I wouldn't be more of a mouthful to eat, due my size (or lack thereof.) the name stuck for a wee bit (although no one reeeally calls me bitesize anymore) and bitesize seemed an appropriate username around the time. And of course everyone here only knows me as bitesize, so after The Mighty TH Crash of '08, I chose the same one again. Kinda like it now. (:

alysaurus March 27th 2009 08:26 PM

Re: Where did your username come from?
 
My boyfriend calls me the Alysaurus Rex. Alyssa => Ali/Aly => Alysaurus. It stuck with other friends too. Which I guess is kind of bad since I know other people who know me use this site and know I use it but don't know my username... Oh well. >w< I think it's cute.

My user name TECatholic came from tow of my favorite things. TEC which is a church thing and Catholic which is my religion.

emo_qehs March 29th 2009 09:45 AM

Re: Where did your username come from?
 
I kept my name the same as before.

EMO = coz I'm emotional and taken less literally - I like emos and I went through a bit of a phase as one
QEHS = Queen Elizabeth's High School - I was at school when I googled 'self harm' and teenhelp came up

So yeah... (Y)

Algernon March 29th 2009 08:17 PM

Re: Where did your username come from?
 
Well. Mosh4Jesus was my original... And complications arose. Then Lily of The Valleys was too long, I believe. So xHolyValorx was the next one in line that I liked. I used it in runescape.

x_muse March 29th 2009 08:23 PM

Re: Where did your username come from?
 
I got my username from the band Muse.
And the "x_" is just random. :D I've used this username, a lot. I have a hard time trying to come up with new ones.

Plus, someone told me I had to use it. ;)

thegirlnextdoor89 March 29th 2009 09:16 PM

Re: Where did your username come from?
 
I have 4 reasons behind mine:

1.) After the song "The Girl Next Door" by Saving Jane http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aT92_phBnZQ. Because it's how I see myself.

2.) After the movie "The Girl Next Door". Because I like it lol.

3.) Because when I first moved to the house I live in now, I had a crush on my neighbor, and I called myself "The Girl Next Door" lol.

4.) Because it was my username before the TH reset, and I didn't want people to not know who I was.

Yeah, I'm original. :-P

Re: Where did your username come from?
 
I have trouble coming up with good names, so I just do whatever I can think of. Whenever I'm in chat rooms I use the term "LMFAO" often... So I just decided LMFAOsabrina would be good enough. (If you didnt figure it out, my name is Sabrina.)
