The origin if your user name

[christopher575]

I was actually born in July of 1974, not May of 1975. The 575 refers to the syllables in a haiku. I can write them very quickly, because in college I wrote epic haiku stories with a coworker via email. My half came to over 3,000 haiku.

Where did your user name come from?

I was in San Francisco with my room mate. I met some of his friends and we were talking about music. I told them I liked poppy music. They started giving examples of things and I said I didn't like them. When they said "But it's poppy," my response was "Yes, but it has to be chirpy too." So that's how poppychirpy came out. Then when I moved here, my room mate created that email address for me and it stuck.

I figured it had something to do with music.

last 4 digits of my phone number

Re: oven is...

[christopher575.livejournal.com]

The last four digits of my phone number spell FUCK. I want to keep this number for the rest of my life.

[oven.livejournal.com]

wow that's awesome! only second best to 666-cunt!

Re: oven is...

[christopher575.livejournal.com]

My first phone number when I left my parents' house was 899-GIRL. That was just a coincidence. I actually chose the last four digits of the Fuck Phone.

I still remember ***-rap0 ...

[christopher575.livejournal.com]

Do you also have a middle name?

[sporkgirl.livejournal.com]

i like sporks. Not taco bell sporks though. Real sporks. Like titanium sporks.

[christopher575.livejournal.com]

I just did a search on flickr for "spork." There are some nice ones out there.

[sporkgirl.livejournal.com]

Oh yes there are!

Spork?

[misterdoug.livejournal.com]

I'd take a nice spork, but I'd rather have THE PIZZA FORK! (http://www.kitchencontraptions.com/archives/004593.php)

Ignore the badly done TMNT video part. it was origionaly a Sifl & Olly sketch but this is all i could find on youtube.

[luliepants.livejournal.com]

i cant spell. originally.

[christopher575.livejournal.com]

That was a good show. I can barely remember it, but I remember it was good.

LLAMA SCHOOL!

[misterdoug.livejournal.com]

I hav all the episodes downloaded, 'cuz I have the entire internet in my house, backed up on DVD. Llama School was one of the best songs ever. And fake blood.

[notlostonme.livejournal.com]

Possibly the stupidest ever: someone pointing out that I am impossible to figure out, and then noting my last name, thinking they were funny. My response was "The irony of that's not lost on me, you cack."

[christopher575.livejournal.com]

I dig it.

[luliepants.livejournal.com]

also, you took my idea! i was going to post a "where does your lj name come from" post but you beat me to it. i fail.

[christopher575.livejournal.com]

Which is funny, because I'd been thinking of doing it, and when you asked what 575 was, it SEALED THE DEAL.

NICE! it is worth ev'ry penny

[elvendude.livejournal.com]

Elvendude is one of the worst pieces of urban fantasy dreck that I have ever had the misfortune of reading. I use it for two reasons:

1) When I was actually writing actively, it was a constant reminder to not do that when I bothered to think of it.

2) It's a kind of cool name, and I figured someone might as well get some good use of it.

[pixink.livejournal.com]

yes, but, clearly, you are a Dood, not a Dude.

[badrobot68.livejournal.com]

I am a bad robot that was built in 1968.

My old e-mail address was evilrobot6 and I used to use that name for everything. For some reason I switched it when I signed up for LJ.

[ozgryph.livejournal.com]

I'm a huge fan of author Mercedes Lackey, who uses gryphon characters a lot in her books. A long time a go, in a place far far away, I was an avid participant on an online Star Wars fan fiction website and my name was Jedi Gryph Grin. The name "Gryph" stuck even IRL, but when I tried to use it when I joined LJ it was taken. Since I'd just move to Australia, I tacked the "oz" on front and there we go! ozgryph.

[pixink.livejournal.com]

pix = pixie

ink = ... well, at the time, it was because I was writing a lot. So, ink = writing a lot. But, now, I have tattoos, so ink could also = tattoos. Which makes more sense currently, as I do very little writing.

My first internet user name for anything EVAR was BlueDiva. I mean, really, what kind of douche was I?

[christopher575.livejournal.com]

Had you just finished watching Fifth Element?

[pixink.livejournal.com]

Nooo! I was BlueDiva looooong before that movie came out. *nodnodnod*

B/C I'm a crazy bear. or crazy bout bears...somethin'...dependin' on who you ask.

sgtred

[sgtred.livejournal.com]

sgt = Sergeant. From my active paintball days I was called Sarge or The Sarge since I tended to organize the games. Later for my military-style Burning Man camp, Chupacabra Policia, I was Sergeant Honeybox.

red = I'm a red head.

[weirdlovemaker.livejournal.com]

When I was creating an email address when I was 16 years old, I was thinking of a good username.

I looked down and saw my CD by The Weird LoveMakers, my favorite punk band in Tucson.

I thought, well, I'm a huge fan, so I'll go by WeirdLoveMaker. And I have on all my user names for the past 10 years.

ME!

[misterdoug.livejournal.com]

I'm a man, hence the Mister, and my name is Doug. I used to abbreviate it as MSTRDOUG or MSTRDUG, but people were reading it as Master Doug. I'm definitely not a master. I've played one a few times, but it's not a regular thang. MisterDoug it is.
