Spira is from an old SN of mine, Spira Mirabilis. Lethe (river of oblivion) is my name from Ancient Greek class.

I received the nickname "Ammerjammer" from Grade 8 and actually used it when I first joined the forum. Once the forum crashed, I believe I shortened it to Ammer. I like it much better now.

Because I was maniacally obsessed with dragons at the time, and Dragonfire sounded better than just Dragon. :P

(I'm still obsessed with dragons now, just not as much ;))

... Kinda a long story...

A year before the forum Crash and untill the 15th of this month I was called .:Chronically Depressed:. which came about when a person IMed me saying:
"WHY'RE YOU ALWAYS SO GOD DAMN HYPER?!?!?" and stuff like that to which I replied:
"I'm not... I'm Chronically Depressed."
Never heard from the person again. This made me highly amused therefor I added the .::. to make it look prettyfull and I had that name for ages...

Now... on my birthday I had gotten about my four millionth PM saying:
"ARE YOU REALLY DEPRESSED?!?!?! Dude..."
or
"You know you should really see a doctor blah blah blah."

Everytime I used to see the word CD in a post I used to have to read it in case it was refering to me.

Therefore in a chat with a couple of people I announced I was changing my name to .:Compact Disk:.

So then I PMed Jim and asked him to Chage it for me and now I'm named .:Compact Disk:.[/end long story]

^^ Hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I did writing it. :D

So that explains the change of name.

I believe you can all see why my old name was so unnappealing :P

Sunnie is my name. Yup.

Old one, Zero!, was because I had (yes, had) an obsession with Zero from Megaman X. :3

Let me explain in a little chain:

Jocelyn (my first name) -> something I hate -> J -> Jay -> Jaye - underscores for decoration. They serve no specific purpose.

Just jaye is fine >_>

Whenever I poke my cat, it goes mew. I don't know why I picked the number 233.

I suck at coming up with usernames. :P

Decided to go with my Neopets name. I picked that one on a lark, as I was convinced the name "MyleneFarmer" (French pop star) would already be taken. I was wrong. But, I do rather like the name Mylene, so it's cool. Kind of wish I had went with just "Mylene" when I signed up for the new forums, but oh well.

CD--Heh, that explains why I kept confusing you for Chronically Depressed...^_^v Very happy to know that you're the same person.

I am Igg.

I think Chris and I have similar ways of choosing names.

It's suprising how few forums and internet games actually have Christopher or Chris taken.

Sat Jul 30, 2005 9:17 am

Not really, because everyone wants an OMGCOOLANDSLIGHTYLMYSTERIOUS name. :P

The name Qanda was conceived in a flash of inspiration when I contemplated the oft-used phrase "Question And Answer", which more commonly used short form is "Q and A". Hence Qanda. ;)

For the record, it is pronounced Canda, not Kuanda. And no, there's no imaginary u between the Q and the a.

I chose my username around when I joined. My brother had a friend on a forum called "Lord Anubis". I'm a girl, and thus, I shortened it to "Anubis".

It's kind of stuck, and I have never had any desire to change it, nor ever have.

CD -- I believe you missed "Argh Fry:)".
