Why Did You Choose That Username And/Or That Avatar (Or No Avatar At All)?

@desiderata310 in a good way ;) *smiles* also your user name is wonderful (love that poem/way to live).

 

[Ronin]

@FridayJones, will you be renaming to @combustiblelemon?
@LuckyDuck, thanks so much for that piece of humor.

My username is one that I have used on many sites, it feels like that is who I am I guess. As to my red fish avatar, he's my pet beta fish and I just wanted to share his beauty with others I guess.

 

[Born to Run]

My username is a song title of my favourite singer. I relate to these sentences a lot: "It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap, We gotta get out while we're young" and I know they are meant from a different perspective. From the age of a one day old child, the only thing I feel I have wanted to do is RUN, leave the place. Since the terror started so early, I feel I was Born to Run, but the tragedy is that a baby can not run, but to survive in sanity, I should have run. Leading to another Springsteen song 'Trapped' :rolleyes: Springsteen has experienced childhood trauma himself and his songs have always been a great support to me. There is always so much hope in them that things will get better.
The avatar is one of my favourite birds, the European Robin. It is very special to me.

@SheilaKathy that is a beautiful beta. :) What is his name?

 

[WildMermaid]

@Born to Run thank you for being brave and sharing that and your bird is just lovely.

@SheilaKathy that is a beautiful beta. :) What is his name?

Rubio is his name, he's been with me for about 2 years now. I gave him a ten gallon tank to play in. Funny, though, he likes to stay in the same place within the tank! I guess he was used to those little bowls they give them in the pet store.

 

[Saria]

@WildMermaid Thanks, i didn't even know it was a crocus! Haha, I'm not good with names or categories

and Mermaid because I'm an awkward as can be land creature but in the water I have grace, freedom from pain, and I'm a wild spirit. :) edit: WildMermaid would be my new and more apt name. :)

I like it!

For me,I chose the username ivory when I registered a while back, because I've played the piano since I was seven and love the way it soothes me. Now, however, all I can think of when I log in is elephant slaughter and Stevie Wonder, so I figured a username change was in place...:) Saria is a character from The Legend of Zelda series which i really like. The child in me loves playing it, and I look up to Saria's playfulness, wisdom and kindhearted nature.

@Saria it is an absolutely beautiful name and it suits your flower very well! :hug:
