Freckleface - I had no idea that my name was a kid's book - I'll have to look that one up. It's kinda embarassing I didn't know that since I am studying to be a middle school teacher
 On the whole cat thing I have 2 cats and a dog - it reminds me of a line in a CSN&Y song. Since I'm single and over 30 I'm sure on my way to becoming a crazy old cat lady. Last summer my mom and I had 14 cats! LOOONG story..... I do love the idea of being killed by llamas...it sounds like the premise of a Monty Python skit! |

my name is a no-brainer, tho I do confess to being inspired by heavens2megatroid for the cuteness of it.
(h2mt: if you're still around, thankyou!) but I wanted to say I am Loving learning about the origins of everyone here, and killed by llamas is cracking me up!  octobersky: that is also the name of a book my frecklette's whole school had to read and do a project on a few years ago. I had assumed that was what you groovin' with- and I was wrong! and COCL: so me. only 1 cat currently, but the me deep in my soul for my future dowager days totally. classic. CH: when I see the word 'handy' I always think cell phone in europe, bc that's what they call them. so to Me, you are Culturephone bc I am a total dork! -------------------- I am a *spark* in this world; get lit.

I can't remember whether I've done this yet or not, so...
The simple explanation for my name is that I like llamas. Always have. However, I didn't start using it as a name on stuff until college, when I played a lot of Perfect Dark on the nintendo with my guy friends; in said game, when you shoot/bomb/etc. another player, their screen reads "Killed by _____" (whatever your username is). So I thought that it would be funny to have it say "Killed by llamas". I've just kept using it.

Okay culturehandy, I'll bite - that is unless you really WANT to sing.....perhaps a medley of B Spears songs in tribute to her shorn locks?
 I picked my name for a few reasons, I love Halloween, the fall, the outdoors and night skies. Pretty simple really. Crazyoldcatlady - did you see the Simpsons the other night? They showed how the crazy cat lady in Springfield evolved, supposedly she was Harvard/Yale educated with a medical and law degree, guess you had to be there but it was funny. |

Does no one else want to tell us where their name came from?

Onna Otaku is japanese slang that loosley translates into "she-geek". Onna is the word for girl or woman and otaku means "outcast". I am the biggest female geek that I know. I was just going to use she-geek, but I changed my mind after a conversation I had with a male classmate. I told him that I was a real geek, and he said "really? you don't look like one." No one believes me when i tell them how much I'm into video games and D&D and what not. So I changed it to Onna Otaku so people would have to guess what I meant. Plus I am learning japanese.
my old name used to be solitary fey, which came from celtic mythology. -------------------- "Children know perfectly well that unicorns aren't real.

I am Auralpoison because I went through a phase of being really into garage rock. My fave band was the Sonics & I loved their song "Strychnine." I didn't want to be too obvious (And somebody on the 'net already had the more obvious handle, natch), so Auralpoison it was. It's strong, it's aggressive, & has just enough of the "don't fuck with me vibe" that I have IRL. I like it, I doubt I'll ever change it.
Some folks like water Some folks like wine But I like the taste Of straight strychnine! -------------------- "You're cute, like a velvet glove cast in iron. And like a gas chamber, a real fun gal."

'Deanna' is my favourite Nick Cave song.
'Returns' because I used to post here a lot. Some BUSTies called me Dee. |

My name was going to be my roller derby name, but I found out my insurance refused to cover any injuries that inevitably, might have occured. So I had to back out fearing financial troubles. But ginger b/c I am a red head, and kitty b/c it sound kind of classic, sassy pin-up when you put the two together.
It's interesting finding out how everybody's names came about! Ditto on the Tank Girl love, that was an awesome movie. -------------------- -We are here on Earth to fart around. Don't let anybody tell you any different.
