Should make for some interesting discussion.

I'm cynical. Very, very cynical. My friends, (who are equally if not more cynical than I am) nickname me euphoria in real life. Why? I'm the manifestation of utter happiness. I adore the world around me. I like not eating meat, and dying from lack of trace elements in my system. I enjoy being crabflailed by angry officials for protesting on a park where you're not supposed to be on the grass.

Yeah, right.

Anyway, discuss.

    Haven't we had one of these recently, or at least something similar? It seems familiar.
    Anyways erm.. it's my name but someone else had sarah so I used the ŕ instead of r. Though, I've changed it loads before to different variations.

    I applaud your use of accent (oomlaut). If my german vocabulary is right, your current handle is pronounced say-rah, or sae-rah.

    MOAR! I'd like to see where Balmung or Revolver Ocelot is pulled from for instance

    Regental means one acting as a ruler or governor. But it's also an anagram of my full name in real life.

    I hate all the topics that ask where I got my username from because everyone else has these interesting and wacky reasons for their username, but I have a boring one (it's my last name).

    My first name came from high school where one of my friends added "licious" to my already nickname "brookus"... therefore making "brookuslicious."

    Now it is b-funk... and my boss gave me that one. Haha yeah, my boss.

    Uhm, random name I suppose. Eventually the "Toxic" turned to "Mr." due to me maturing? Idk, I might have forgotten my thinking and made up this tongue.gif. If you're really interested I suppose you could dig up my old post tongue.gif

    Lewl. Balmung is a character from the show .hack//sign and from the .hack video game series (.hack//mutation, .hack//outbreak, etc.) He was my favorite character. I also used the name for neopets and thought I should make it like that on here too. But I just think the name sounds cool, nowadays since I don't play .hack anymore or watch it.

    Balmung:


    But when I first came here my name was LeoDragon and I thought if I was gonna become part of the community, instead of being a leecher, I should change it. Since, LeoDragon was the name I used for scamming people and for signing up on loads of neopets hacking sites. It was kind of a generic name I used.

    I was first nicknamed Shade in grade 8, then it turned into a number of different things and finally during the debate section of my legal studies course, I earned Euthanasia. Since I constantly refer to it in everyday life; and can easily assist people for social suicide. A rather bad reputation I've earned for myself.
    And I suppose for my jealous nature -shrugs-.

    We've definitely had one of these... In fact, I think I made one.

    But that was ages ago.

    Anyway, a while back before I had come anywhere near neopets or codex, one of the first things I did on the internet was to read fanfiction. Harry Potter had just came out, and one of my friends put me onto both the book and then later fanfiction for the series. One of my favourite authors was named silverphoenix. So, when I decided to sign up for an account and all that jazz, I stole the parts of his name (a color and an animal).

    silver + phoenix = silverphoenix
    red + lion = redlion
