Mine is actually from a nickname we made up at a family reuinion Emoticon: Grin :D
My crazy cousins and I were high on brownies. We gave each other nicknames (well, I did.) Moliy, Bettiy, Wssshhh, and Sctiive. Pronounced: Molly, Betty, WSSSHH, and Steve, respectively. Thusly, I am Sctiive. xD
I thought that was a long story. I was incorrect C:

Omigosh. I was wondering where you got that. I wonder where all of them come from. I'm so curious XD
but, that is funny. I never would have guessed. i'd have thought it was just a word you liked and, like, a birthyear. (So, you're 11? xDDD)

My user name... well... you always hear of flamethrowers and that's what I consider alot of people in my life are, Flamethrowers. They are always projecting, blaming others. I, Flamecatcher, am the one who receives their little rants or tantums or what have you. So that, my friend is how I am Flamecather.

i have had many people ask me what Avalon is, for those that read this and have questioned i will enlighten. Avalon is a mystical island associated with Arthurian legend.

at the time i joined QA i was going through an arthurian phase and didnt want to choose my usuall username cause i wasnt out yet, so i thought a guard of one of the most mystical places, why not, hence AvalonsGuard

:: roryRAWR393
:: QA8 High Householder
haha, that's so random! I like The Simpsons too, what episode is that from?

Anyway, "roryRAWR393" has three parts: my name, the expression "RAWR!" because it's one of my favorite interjections. It's different than "roar", it's more sexy and cute and it has a lot of "r"'s in it like my first name. Then "393" is just a number I like, not really sure why. Emoticon: Smile :)

Actually, there was this one picture of me and my friend and it was a weird picture, my mouth was open and it looked like I was about to bite her finger and my friend commented on it saying "Rawr!". Emoticon: Tongue :p
I'm a stereo and you're just so monotone.

Mine's not surprising if you've ever really had an in depth conversation with me. Emoticon: Tongue :p
I'm obsessed with wings and flying. When you're flying it's like you're lighter than air, get it?
It's also referring to the fact that when you're happy you feel like you can fly, and I'm not that happy very often, so those rare moments are even more amazing. Emoticon: Smile :)

Well, I love reading. A fav series of mine the main girls name was Reed. So I was reading Reed, and "Reedlyn" is kinda close to "reading" if you use the right accent.

Oh lord... at the time it was the character of my first set of fantasy short stories... you know how odd those names could be. I adopted it for myself, and keilaraSB (SB standing for storm-born, yet another cheesy fantasy aspect of the name) became my internet screenname for a while.

QA Member's Avatar
I chose my name "gomenasai46" because gomenasai means "I'm so sorry" in Japanese and saying I'm sorry is something that I've always had a hard time saying and so I say it to those that I should have said it to but never could get the guts to. I chose 4 because it's my Life Path Number and 6 is my lucky number. =]

I used this as my password for something else and it stuck. That happened when I tried to do three different usernames which were all rejected, I got frustrated, grabbed a history, and used the first name I saw. Asurnasurpal II, Assyrian warrior king. Little ironic that I'm a transsexual pacifist huh?

november suns are sexxy as hell
thought i'd make a usernane in honour of their sexiness
These days, my life,
I feel it has no purpose.
And late at night these feelings swim to the surface.
Cause on the surface the city lights shine,
They're calling at me 'come and find your kind.'

:: Rainer
:: QA4 A spot of tea please, Alfred!
QA Member's Avatar
Rain keeps me company, keeps me calm. It taps on my window when I'm lying awake at night, sings me sweet somber lullabies and whispers that everything will be alright. It ruins my hair, brings out those natural waves. It brings me back to myself when I'm lost in my thoughts again. I am of the rain, I am rain, I am a rainer, I am Rainer.
Also, Rainer Maria Rilke is the author of a quote that I've been particularly attached to for a few years now.
"For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror which we are barely able to endure, and it amazes us so, because it serenely disdains to destroy us." — Rainer Maria Rilke

:: Splash
:: QA9 Grand Elder
QA Member's Avatar
For those who don't know, I'm a theater geek. A "splash scene" is when two actors learn a scene separately and then perform it together without ever having rehearsed it together. (You can do this with full-length plays too.) I had done a splash scene that meant a lot to me a few months before I came out to myself. So when I needed a user name, "Splash" it was. (It also plays in with my desire to "make a splash" in the world.)
