And what about the choice of our user name ?

[Chanterais]

'Chanterais' (it's French for "I would sing", but I guess you know that).

Chanterais!, please tell everyone I already told you that like two months ago.  Please!  Tell 'em I already pointed that out!  Thanks.

*Adriana clears her voice and taps the mic.* Testing, testing, 1 2 3 testing.  Hey, is this thing on?  It is?  Okay.

Let it be known far and abroad that Ellemeno did indeed exhibit her impressive and enviable knowledge of the French language in a private message to me some months ago.  It should additionally be noted that she was the first of many such persons to display said erudition, and should be acknowledged as such.  Here ends my pronouncement.

Did I do it right Elle?

Ruby-my nickname=RouxB-the name of my red car. My name is Sherrill (and I am some kind of an aholic)

Omygod! That's so funny. My car's name is Ruby, too! 
Except mine is silver. I wanted a red car but the year I bought my civic, the closest thing to red it came in was a deep burgundy, a color I hate. So naming her Ruby is my way of living my red car desire.
Do you spell your car's name RouxB?

[bbm_stitchbuffyfan]

Let's see,

I'm a Buffy fan.
I think Stitch from Lilo & Stitch and the movie itself is positively adorable.
I'm a Brokeback Mountain fan.

And there you have it.

 I picked my name because after seeing BbM I wanted to change the way I live life. Ive been very much the recluse for years. I hadnt even considered opening myself up to another person for friendship -or more-for a long time. So my name is really the opposite of who I am. It is however the kind of person I want to become.

[RouxB]

EnnisLovesJack-

Yes, my car is RouxB because, originally, it was supposed to be androgynous for Ruby. I didn't want a gendered car but she turned out to be a she after all.

Sometimes when I read the stuff that I write I wonder where I left my sanity.

 

[Aussie Chris]

Err, I was one of the earliest BetterMost members just now getting into CT, and with just a handful of us, "Chris" seemed sufficient.  But later we got another prominent Chris in IdahoLonly and people talking to him started calling him "Idaho Chris".  So, logically I differentiated myself with Aussie.  Sounded a bit gimmicky to me at first, but I don't mind it now, and I like AC as well!

[silkncense]

Guess I'm stuck with what I got here...

I would have loved to have come up w/ something great but I signed on to IMDb just to "read a little" about Brokeback Mountain cause I COULD NOT SLEEP after seeing it.

So, I just used my AOL name - which I chose long ago to indicate Female (people thought I was male cause I love sports) & having some Sense.  Unfortunatley, the correct spelling was taken so I had to alter it. 

NOW everyone assumes I love SILK & Incense! 

I don't.

Sad but true.

[Pipedream]

I had an account at IMDB already and posted mainly on message boards for German movies. For some reason I felt like creating a new account exclusively for "Brokeback Mountain" (the BBM fever, I guess). In fact, the BBM-board was the only one pipedream ever appeared on. Why not a German name? Dunno. Probably just thought that for an English speaking forum an English name would be more appropriate.
Since I tend to daydreaming very much, I wanted to call myself "Daydream" which, of course was taken already, as were all the other names I tried that contained the word "dream". Pipedream was left over. Don't even like it very much, but I guess I, too, have to stick with it now.
"Little Kraut" would, of course, have been an option or - better yet - "Unkraut". That's German for "weed". Would have been very well fitting on a troll infected message board, don't ya think?

We have a nice saying: "Unkraut vergeht nicht" ("weeds don't die away"), meaning: "it would take more than that to finish him/her off". Sure hope our friend John (jmmgallagher) is as robust as Unkraut!!!

I called myself julie01--because Julie is my name, and I didn't especially want people to be confused about my sex (although I sometimes get confused about it), or appear to be hiding anything.

It was also a reaction to an earler user name, "14520sjowall"--eBay told me to pick a name that would secretly mean something to me, but would be hard for others to copy or guess...YAWN..well, '1452" is the year of Richard III's birth, the "0" is gratuituous (I think another digit was wanted) and "sjowall"--you have to add an accent mark, called an umlaut in German--is the name orf a great Swedish mystery writer, who wrote a series of 10 mysteries with her husband, Per Wahloo (more accent marks needed) before he died of cancer...I think the agreement to write the series was written into their marriage vows, but I'm not sure about that...
