Can I eat it when you turn black?

[timeshifter]

I agree.

I love playing guitar, so I guess my name is pretty obvious. I generally use this name for all accounts on forums and online games, and my email is almost the same. I just like having a consistent name so people can always know who you are across websites.

Wow.. from black to chemotherapy to guitar... how typical.

[metalmidget]

When I was 12 my older brother (and consequently all his friends) started calling me midget, and it just stuck (I'm just as tall as him now, and taller than a lot of his friends). I also listen to metal, so when I was about 14 i started going by metalmidget in Diablo II online, and I've just kept using it cos I like it

Yes but it was really boring last time I was a member here and read it. Howdy NW and how goes things down South?

[illebille]

my brother used to call me by that name (or by "ille" or "iss")

[mendhak]

"illebille", in Belgian French, means "broomstick"

[illebille]

actually, i'm Flemish, and "bille" either means "buttock" or "head" ; depends on what dialect you're speaking :-)
(but that has nothing to do with my name...)

I've been using this name for years and years (10 to be exact). It started off as a pseudonym I was using to sign my art/poetry back when I was 14 (my English teacher asked me to "publish" a few of my works, but I was more of the quiet, kept to himself kid in high school). I even went as far as to design a logo with it (which one of the kids in my art class decided he wanted tattooed on his arm... That he did... With a caligraphy pen and ink... That one still causes me to squint a little).

I kept using it for awhile incase someone ran into one of my pieces and tried to get ahold of me. By the time I turned 19, it was pretty engrained. I started DJing under the alias and even my mom was getting used to it.

As of a year ago, I've all but left the name behind. I haven't spun in 2 years and couldn't tell you the last time I drew or wrote something. Infact, VBF is the only place I still am actively using it. I had some good times with it, but I had some really really bad times too. I hate to sound like (the artist formerly kown as) Prince, but as I've matured - I've lost alot of the persona that was with that name.

As of late, you'll see me as syntaxeater alot. Which, for those that don't know - is a play on the old Sin Eater profession. I started using it when I became a contractor. Every job I was going in to, it was the same thing... Their problems became my problems, the jobs were short but the hours were long and all the rewards (the applause, careers being made, all the success) went to the client while I walked away with my paltry check; quite literally casted aside as the sin eater was.

[kregg]

Wow that was long.

But interesting nevertheless. Thank you sevenhalo for sharing that.

Now who else would like to talk about their past? Come on now, don't be shy!


P.S. I wasn't kidding when I said it was interesting.

[tommygrayson]

Mine came from my favorite comic book. Changed the first name because I am not a Dick.

I prefer another common name like Thomas. It's nickname is Tommy and thus forming tommygrayson.

[Arrow_Raider]

I formed Arrow_Raider by choosing two words completely at random and putting a _ in between them.
