Well, it was during this trip to France that I went on with my French class in Summer '08, and it was in one of the last towns that we visited. We were all just chilling in the castle in Amboise, waiting for the rest of our classmates to regroup, obviously bored with seeing different castles and cathedrals over and over again, and I look out into the town which was across this tiny river next to the castle walls and see this little club or pub called "Le Shaker", and I took a picture of it. Little did I know back then, it would become my user name for practically everything because I had gotten sick of the user name I had chosen back in 7th grade. So yeah. Pretty much, LeShaker's namesake is a tiny club in a little French town called Amboise Emoticon: Smile :)

I have magnet words (like the poem magnets that people have on their fridges and use to say naughty things XD) right next to my computer.

I looked over when I was trying to think of one and "desire" and "blue" were the two words right next to each other, and it was eerily related, so I just went with it!

Well I love to sing/dance/play my sax..so that's where the 'Lala' comes into play.

And my name is Lyndsee. But tend to call me 'Lynds'.

And may 23 is my Bday so there is the '0523' thing.

Add it all together and you get: Lalalynds0523

Mine's actually a reference to a song. There's a song by someone called Emily Osment called Average Girl, I like the song, so I used it as my username.

QA Member's Avatar
RockiHorror!!! I LOVE the Rocky Horror Picture Show!

And I like the sound of Abstract Youth as well.

Mine is from the myth of Daedalus and Icarus. Daedalus and Icarus were in prison so that Daedalus's knowledge wouldn't spread and they escaped by making wings out of wax and feathers. Icarus then flew too high up and the sun melted his wings and he drowned. I chose the name because I spend my life trying to escape from the imprisonment of society and I'm sure there must be somewhere or other too close to the sun, but I'm pretty sure I'll keep my wings.

I'm quite the geek when it comes to comic books, and Shatterstar is one of my favourite superheroes from X-Factor (and off-shoot from the X-Men books).

He's also bi, and his boyfriend is also on the team.

Not that that influenced me in anyway xD

QA Member's Avatar
Mine comes from an Ani DiFranco song called 78%H2O... its an excellent song about how all we are is 78% water and we are all human so we deserve to be treated as such...
"And I've been dissapointed,
I've been heartbroken
Yes I too have loved from afar.
But we are 78% Water,
Even our pumping hearts"
i am not a pretty girl
that is not what i do
i ain't no damsel in distress
and i don't need to be rescued
so put me down punk
maybe you'd prefer a maiden fair
isn't there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere?

Ayone ever notice how girls say one thing and think/feel something completely different. That's what mine is about. It's all about what her eyes are saying.

Ex: She says she hates you.
Her eyes are screaming, 'I love you!"

Get it?

I wish mine was more interesting...
I play world of warcraft, and one of my characters is Twillz.
Twillz came from my main character, Twillyy.
Twillyy came from Twilight. Twilight was already taken, and the first thingI thought of was Twilly, but that was also taken, so I added a y, thus the character name Twillyy
