When in high school, I was writing poetry that was, amazingly, decent enough to get published. It wasn't bad, but tended to run with the standard angst-filled themes of young adulthood. A few friends of mine started referring to me as "The Angsty Poet", and I started using Anxst as my handle in IRC rooms. (I used the X to differentiate from the normal word, and to help my family with pronunciation. Many of them are non-native English speakers.) It's been my username for almost any public forum I've ever engaged in on the 'net.
