    I am a huge anime fan. I mean massive. I've been watching anime for 16 years now.

    One of the anime I enjoy is Naruto. Hinata and Kiba are two of my favorite characters. I also think they'd make a nice couple. So in the Bennifer vain of things, couples in anime pairings are usually written as a composite. So Hinata and Kiba become hinakiba.

    The 777 comes from someone once telling me that "777 is the number of the moose". It amused me, so I added it.

    This is my username on YIM, youtube, and deviantART.

    Desk Worker=I pay tuition here, too. So I guess I pay myself.

      I'm reading all of these posts and I'm thinking, God, I'm boring. Everyone here pretty much has interesting names and fits who they are (I mean who else but a Jester can write such clever postings). My name is just my intials and the year I was born. My e-mail is just my first two intials and my last name spelled out. I have used similar names on other boards.
      If it makes you feel any better, I have two completely boring email addresses (well, three, but I don't get any say in my work email). My Verizon email is my first name-last initial@... and my Google account is my first name-middle initial@.... My dad set up the Verizon accounts for all three of us; all are equally boring (my mom's is her first initial, middle name because she goes by her middle name - which is the same as my first name; and my dad's is his first and middle initials and the first four letters of our last name). When I set up my Google account I wanted to use the same name so that if/when I switch over to that account it'll be that much easier for my friends to remember, but I was unable to use the last initial, so I tried my middle initial and that worked.

      Fenrir, Norse mythos, the Great Wolf son of Loki, who would be the death of Odin.
      My parents' neighbors had a big black lab named Odin. And the student email server at my cousin's college was Loki...god of chaos, correct?

        I think Loki was more along the lines of mischief-maker. Not sure though, I don't know Norse/Celtic mythology as well as I know Greek/Roman.

            Why would you feel odd for that? Not everyone's name needs to be entertaining. If it works for you, it works for you.

              OK, I did a little googling, found God of Mischief, and also "God of Fire, Trickster God"...

                That's the phrasing I was looking for! So...chaotic but not necessarily with malice. It's a common figure in mythology - pretty much every Native American tribe has their own version (Raven, Coyote, etc.) not to mention Pan in Greek mythology.

                  Everyone is confused by my username, so guess I'd better explain it. XD OK, first of all, it's a Sludge name. When the site Metal Sludge first came out, all the people credited for writing for the site had names that were either pisstakes of rocker names, or composite rocker names. A lot of users on the message board did likewise with their names. My name on the current Sludge forum is Lace Fox; it refers to Ace (Lace as in a female version of Ace, cuz I'm a girl) and Eric Carr the Fox (RIP), both used to be in Kiss. It also sounds like a porn star's name.

                  Now, on to my name here, and on a few more sites. Let's break this down bit by bit.

                  Lace. Female version of Ace, as I already said. XD
                  Neil. Refers to Vince Neil.
                  Singer. Refers to Eric Singer.

                  What can I say, I love old skool rock. XD

                    Ghel is a name I've used since junior high school. I've used it in MUDs, D&D, and video games (including World of Warcrack [I finally kicked that habit]). Funny thing is, outside of D&D, nobody in the real world knows me as Ghel.

                    When I created the name, I was really into Jem and the Holograms. I can barely remember the show now, but I remember wanting to use a name that was a corruption of the name Jem. Don't ask how I got Ghel from Jem, though.

I suddenly remember Delenn's line from Joe's script. Not a bad prospect. I am not afraid. In the meantime, let me close my eyes and sense the beauty around me. And take that breath under the dark sky full of stars. Breathe in. Breathe out. That's all."

                      I think I've explained mine before. Being a student of 18th century British life (both English-speaking continents) and doing living history that covers mid- to late 18th century, the 1756 represents the year the Seven Years War (aka the French & Indian War) started over here in what would become the United States. GR2 comes from George II who was King of England at the time.

                      Folks confuse 18th and 19th centuries over here, and some have, in their confusion, asked me if I do American Civil War living history (a century later than my chosen time period). I just say, "No, that's too modern for me." (And, truthfully, it is.)

                      The 18th century King's Colours fly from my front porch. William Hogarth is one of my favorite artists for the stories he tells in the details. My sewing room is stacked with silks, linens and wools that get made into reproduction clothing for other enthusiasts and museums. So, yeah, my User Name represents a big part of my life.

                          Erm, oops? Yeah, I really know much more about Greek/Roman mythology (ah, theatre...) than Norse/Celtic. And Pan is more mischievous than malicious.

                            Well my name isn't much of anything... I signed up about four, almost five years [and who knows how many hacks] ago, when I was working for my uncle's company as a receptionist/administrator. I had red hair and answered phones all day, and am female, thus Redheadphonegirl. The hair colour's changed many times since, but it usually goes back to red. The jobs have changed many times since, but I always seem to go back to answering phones, so it continues to fit

                            And to Stannous, I hope you don't mind, I googled you, trying to see if I could watch a CS member on Millionaire and found an amazing article about you... If you haven't seen it [though it was written after you were on Millionaire and while I was in high school] PM me and I'd be happy to link you.

                              I found the same article(s), Red, and was rather impressed. Stan rocks.

                                Ummm...nooooo... not 'bring about' per se. IIRC, while he does a few things that happen to have unfortunate consequences, he doesn't actually bring it on.
