How'd you get your screen name?

Cheerleader of the Damned · Fri Jun 20, 2003 3:06 pm

So it was about 3 am and I was talking to my friend Togle on the phone. This isn't extraordinary since we both work 3rd shift. I don't remember the exact conversation, but I'm sure it was something odd because Togle and I always had unusual conversations. I'm pretty sure it involved someone dying and me using their death for my own personal benefit. To which Togle said, "Well, aren't you just a little cheerleader of the damned!"

I liked it so I kept it.

And here I thought it was short for "anathema"

Godam Hippie · Post by **Godam Hippie** » Sun Jun 29, 2003 7:18 am

Scarecrow gave me the handle--he loves Cartman.

But I don't wear patchouli and I DO bathe and I don't tour with Phish or any of that other neuvo-hippie crap.

I'm more like one of those Dan-Fogelburg hippies cuz I like to go into the woods, hug trees, hang out with Mary J and eat granola bars. And I've been wearing bell bottoms since WAY before the "flare-leg" jeans came into style.

I'm just a Godam Hippie...so why am I on Knox Goth?

hehe my secret evil side. I have a strange and un-hippielike fetish for the macabre. But I still go for the bell bottoms every time. :twisted:

Mother Mo · Post by **Mother Mo** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 1:15 am

Well, I've been called "Mo" by my closest friends since the early 90's. It was born out of an insult by a not-so-nice person, then adapted by friends into Molissa, and finally shortened to Mo. My real name is Melissa, so it's a much better nick name than Missy... which I hate. (Sounds so disrespectful!)
The "Mother" part is two fold. I've been a mother since I was 17, and anyone who knows me, knows that my personality is very maternal. Also, when choosing a name for the forum, I wanted to convey a nonsexual, unavailable persona. My old man's very paranoid & my libido died years ago, so it fit the bill.
The only other word I ever considered was "Magistra" which the latin, feminine version of "teacher." I taught latin & world mythologies years ago at an alternative high school.
But, most folks just know me as Mo, it's much quicker and easier to say than my real name.

Now, "The Libidenous Undead" would be a great book title...

TiredUnhappy · Post by **TiredUnhappy** » Tue Nov 18, 2003 8:13 pm

Well....... most people assume my screen name has some personal representation behind it. But for those who've met me or know me...this is not the case.

I made my screen name because of a debate over lyrics in a song. Alot of people said the lyrics were "Tired And Happy" or "Tired And Unhappy" and I always said "no, it's 'Tired-Unhappy'"

Well, they didn't like that, we argued it. Then I just made it my screen name to piss them all off. So my name comes from a stance over a debate in a song. Then the video for the song came out, which scrolled lyrics up the screen backwards....and for those who could read.....it said "Tired-Unhappy"... it's been the name I always use on MB ever since then.

uhh yeah, go me *does a little dance* (..except not really..)

It'a been a while since I've posted here.
Long story short..... My screen name was given to me by a friend of mine at work. I call him Beelzabubba, and he calls me his sister, Beelzabetty.
Yeah... we're just a couple of mean, bitchy people. We wouldn't have it any other way! :twisted:

the truly cool people on the planet already know!

...just kidding.

my extremely hard to pronounce/spell handle is actually the title of a rather popular painting/print by none other than, brian froud, from one of his rather popular books "good faeries/bad faeries" i wanted an actual name, because other titles would have been too obvious. and i chose this one because i figured people would remember me better because they didn't know how to fucking say it. so thats it, nothing special, just a froudian geek. actually its a little worse than that. basically brian froud is god to me, and should be to most.

PLUS........i didn't want to use the name i go by everywhere else......that being MagdelenaStar. summing up basically my favorite song( and the fact that i have a major jones for maynard) and a tarot card that i felt described me best, and strangely always came up in my own spreads.

vicious_blood · Post by **vicious_blood** » Wed Nov 19, 2003 8:18 am

I don't want to reveal my secrets :twisted:

, plus I kinda don't remember where it all came from.
I know it started as "Kit Vicious"...
And have recently developed an addiction to anything werewolfe....so I dunno. :shrug:

And I always state that when I get really angry I can feel it in my veins...cause I'm psycho like that.

Marquis de Carabas · Post by **Marquis de Carabas** » Thu Nov 20, 2003 1:13 am

mine came from Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere from a character that was pointed out to remind people of me. i agree with this. hence, the screen name. Marquis de Carabas is also the name of the master from Puss in Boots.
