I'm curious! How did you choose your screen name? Is there a story that goes with it? What does it mean?
Inquiring minds want to know...

When I signed up here I had just gotten off the phone. When I called, my friends daughter answered and I always say "Whoooo lives in a pineapple under the sea" so the tune was in my head at that particular moment in time.

. Mine is just my name and my former zip code. I guess not using your name is a bit safer. I have alway's been one who like's to keep it simple. It may explain why I don't get many response's. I imagine it can be a good coversation starter.

Mine's also based on a remark by a friend. I was told that I'm a cross between the Addam's Family daughter Friday and the girl in the comic strip Non Sequitor (her name's Danae.) I was also doing a painting based on the Greek myth of Danae & Zeus, so...Danae it is

My proffesion is a Marine Technician, hence Seamonkey.
The 836 was due to someone else having the seamonkey tied up, and at the time i didnt want to fuss with trying anything else so I took it.
I am known as Mercruiserdr everywhere else and am contemplating trying it here as well.

"Heaven in a Wildflower" is from William Blake's Auguries of Innocence. I guess I tend to think of myself as an innocent, at least from the point of view of 'innocere' i.e. to be without harm. I really do try not to hurt anyone...notable exception being anyone who hurts a defenseless innocent. Then I just  and it brings out the  in me.

Sciurus niger is the Latin name for the fox squirrel.
I specialize in rehabilitating squirrels and foxers are my favorites and because yes, I can, indeed (she said proudly), be rather squirrely....
P.S. Danae, I was thinking about this very same topic earlier this morning!

When I first moved to rural MI from outside of Chicago, the locals always said I was a "Citygirl"...City just kind of stuck, even though it's not very appropos anymore...and my first name is Cyndi...so it just kind of popped off of my fingertips when filling out my profile.

Graystar

Graystar is the town where Lolita dies. It’s unique in that no place on earth is actually called Graystar. So Graystar is no place, very much like websites are places that don’t really exist. So my website is called Graystar and I also use the name as an identity.

Mine is based on a Disney movie I saw as a kid called "The Legend of Lobo." It was about a lone wolf who existed outside the pack. I am a bit of a loner as well, so I thought the name fit. The 65 is my birth year.

ExacerbatedTaboo

well exacerbated means to make something worse and I was reading a psychology website that was talking about taboo and one of the definitions it gave was to inflict some sort of pain on yourself either physically or mentally so basically my name means that I am inflicting mental pain on myself in the worst way possible.

Classy_Blonde
Posts: 6,034

In case anyone hasn't noticed--I'm a blonde. I like to think I have a little 'class'. Since I've been hanging out in the forums, I may have to change the Classy part. 
Maybe Spunky_Blonde would better suit me. Bubbly_Blonde would be fun too.
