The origin of your username

Sir-Ex · 07-17-2010, 01:13 PM

So, I think this thread's been done but it's been a while and a lot of folks have changed their usernames, plus a few new members have joined as well.

Plus I forget everything.

SO, why have you picked the username you've picked!?

**~~Dantastic~~** · 07-17-2010, 01:16 PM

It was the first thing I thought of when I went to sign up.

myxomatosis · 07-17-2010, 01:18 PM

Yeah it's been a good while since there's been one of these.

YouTube - Radiohead - Myxomatosis

Not my favorite or anything, just was on or something, I really dunno my reason for picking it. Good song though no doubt.

Black night is falling
The sun is gone to bed
The innocent are dreaming
As you should sleepy-head
Sleepy-head, sleepy-head

All the love above
I send into you
Comfort and protection
I'll watch over you
But don't ask me
What's gonna happen next
I know the future
I'd love to lead you the way
Just to make it easier on you

You are gonna have to find out for yourself
You are gonna have to find out for yourself
You are gonna have to find out for yourself
You are gonna have to find out for yourself

My
Dearest
Scatterheart
There is comfort
Right in the eye
Of the hurricane
Just to make it easier on you

You are gonna have to find out for yourself
You are gonna have to find out for yourself
You are gonna have to find out for yourself
You are gonna have to find out for yourself

All the hurt in the world
You know
There's nothing I'd love to do more
Than spare you from that burden
It's gonna be hard
If I only could
Shelter you
From that pain
Just to make it easier on you

You are gonna have to find out for yourself
bjork, scatterheart

From Bearsy's Revenge a song I liked from a local band a friend of mine was in in high school.
I used to be BearsysRevenge, people here called me Bearsy for short and so I changed it.

The song:

YouTube - Bearsy's Revenge

The Bassist was my friend in school.

the origin of my name is unknown to me. i think it has something to do with a stolen turnip

osirus2020 · 07-17-2010, 03:11 PM

My buddy and I were really into ancient Egyptian stuff for a while and we got into drinking and smoking together. It were my codename. It's too bad I spelled it wrong.

**AlteredStateGrl** · 07-17-2010, 03:18 PM

^I can change it for you. Although, you're just kinda osirus now...

myxomatosis is also a deadly disease rabbits get caused by the myxoma virus.

(maybe you already knew that)

Was a huge fan of The Mars Volta, and thought the protagonists name in 'De-loused in the Comatorium' was cool, along with the music itself. Really opened my eyes to the possibilities of music.

Mine's pretty obvious.

Geeno · 07-17-2010, 04:44 PM

to be fair it picked geene and that was a female char

then I made another and named it Geeno cause it was male

and my granpas name was Eugene so I tied a bit of meaning to it afterwords. If you saw a picture of that grandfather then the person who types to you today would make much more sense.

**SageTree** · 07-17-2010, 04:53 PM

Well first of all there is no such thing as a SageTree in the plant kingdom.

The Bodhi tree is said to have been the place where Buddha attained enlightenment. This is initially the name I thought would be nice, but had second thoughts about using a holy site as a name and thought there must be a way to expand the meaning of what that tree could have and has since been.

So this is what came about.

I'm by no means trying to capture the name of Sage here, the focus is more upon the tree part of my name. Over the eons many people have come to listen to people speak and teach their ideas and opinions. I like to imagine that this was close to or even under neath in the shade of a close tree known by locals as a gathering spot.

Now I figure these trees have heard a lot of things in their day and probably know a fair bit from listening all because of offing up what it creates naturally, a safe, comfortable place.

This is what I hope to do and be for you and me. Create a place where we are safe to talk and learn from each other. Meeting under the sage tree to talk and learn.

Because of service and love to you all,
SageTree
