hulk

Mine's quite the history. An old Mac-only online game called Avara was a favorite of mine, and when I wanted to be 'The Hulk' (I was young like... 12? I think? Years ago) it wouldn't let me. Abbreviated to dehulk, which then found it's way to Dah Hulk, then to hulk here and a few other places. Mostly, I go by the true namesake, Drinniol.

little_tippler

have posted this before so I'll keep it short...like Emily Dickinson's poetry very much (see below), and got this name from the poem below (different verses)....her poetry says a lot to me, I can relate to it immensely. So little tippler stuck. No it's nothing to do with drinking heh.

Also, I have never had problems being little tippler anywhere, so no-one else seems to have it.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are

Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

getwonk'd

The name I usually use was taken. So I sat here thinking until my two year old came to me and wanted me to open his box of nerds. On the front it said Getwonk'd. It was some kind of contest for the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie. So I typed it in and here I am. I hate the name though.

flamingdog

Ah... sadly I have not always been so eager to hold onto my past. Those things have long since expired.

Believe me, they were nothing exciting. Exactly the kind of thing a bored 17-year-old with a penchant for the surreal might come up with.

tecoyah

I lived on Tecoyah Rd. in Yosemite Nat'l Park for about a decade......liked the meaning behind the name....and so......

Telluride

When I joined TFP I named myself after the character of John Galt from Ayn Rand's novel, Atlas Shrugged.

I was introduced to Ayn Rand's work by an English professor during the first semester of my first year of college. We had to write an essay on who we admired and why. In my essay, I explained that I admired those who became wealthy through their own hard work and that I resented those who tried to demonize and punish the successful. When the professor returned the graded papers, she had written a note on it that said something like, "Have you read any Ayn Rand?" (not an exact quote, but it's pretty close). At the time, I had never even heard of Ayn Rand, so I approached the professor after class and asked who Ayn Rand was and why I should read this person's books. She told me that my views on this issue seemed to be similar to Rand's, and that I might enjoy her work. I went to a book store and bought some of Ayn Rand's books (I actually started with her philosophy books rather than her novels) and I found that I agreed with her on most issues. So...here I am.

healer

Sweet bugger-all to do with medicine or healing of any kind. Someone, very long ago, told me that the meaning of their name was "the healer".

I liked it. I stole it.

shesus

I too have posted this before but....

My name has 2 'meanings'

I say ohh shesus a lot. Then there was a local band whose name was shesus that I really liked and actually got to meet and hang out with. I was going through different names and all of them were taken. I was getting very frustrated and just typed in Ohh_shesus...it took and here I am. However, I would love to get rid of the Ohh, but that's ok. Most people refer to me as shesus anyway so it's all good.
