My username is the nick of the main character, Alanna, in Tamora Pierce's Song of the Lioness Quartet. She rocks, and I luv big cats anyway.

But what's with the "Bobby Corwen" bit?

For some reason my usual nick on forums or in games is Nebucadnezzar, I just typed Neb here since people on other forums tend to mistype a lot when they try to write my "full" name.

"Sazerac" is a type of New Orleans cocktail which was first concocted in the late 1700's. It was originally made of Absinthe, which has since been outlawed because of it's being a hallucinogen, so now it's made with Anisette for the same flavor. It's also a type of Jazz popularized around the Sazerac club in New Orleans. Being that I like both, and it's a wizard-sounding name, I adopted it as my online moniker.

Reasons why I have this username:
- Because I had to pick something
- Because I think the Lord of the Rings is one of the best books ever and Legolas is a cool character
- Because that's the name of my BG1 and BG2 character (reasons: see above)
- Because the dwarf names ran out ?

What would I change it to:
- Just plain Legolas. But, that one was taken already...

Larry_OHF · 08-28-2001, 04:59 PM

I could not think of anything creative the day that I was registering last year, and so I decided to just put Larry. I signed on again at work, under the name Larr2. Realizing that I could sign on from two different PCs without trouble, I just went to Larry on the both of them, but since that was too plain, I took on _OHF, to signify my clan membership. I believe I got the idea from Ertai_OHF.
I wish that I could change it, but nobody would know it was me, and everyone would start wondering where Larry is.
Oh well...

i picked this cuz it was my name at bg dungeon, and some of my best arguements and debates and stuff is to the credit of this name! also, think about it: Super Saiyan Four Sephiroth. kinda hard to explain how it happened, but it must be the most powerful being in the universe! also i had just got done playing ff7 and thot Sephiroth was really cool (i still do, all these months later) so i named it!

It's simple. Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury. The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury...What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet? Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha, ha, ha. And at the center of that injury, wil be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with the energy of the Planet, I will be come a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet, I will cease to exist as I am now. Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every living soul.

WOLFGIR · 08-28-2001, 05:13 PM

Hehe, this is going to be which time I write this??

He, sorry

Well Wolf.. furry beast running atound in the forrest and mountains, plains and most everywhere howling, caring and good hunter. One of the many animals I really like, but wolves are very close to my heart.

-gir Sounds a bit "nordic" so I wanted a bit of a name that displayed my interest and my heritage abit. Though some have read it as Wolfgirl.. I think it depends on that I see it so clearly and have my pronounciation of it worked out clearly.. Hehe..

Well most call me Wolfie here and thats OK with me.

Moni is just short for my given name Monique...easier to type too.

If I were going to change it I'd be LastTruePrincess to match my sig (my screen name for various internet services & mailboxes) but nah...that just involves more typing.
