How did you get your screen name/user name?

[bballmom56]

ummmm, fairly obvious? Since I'm a bball mom, hafta brag a little -DS shot 100% (made his 2 field goal attempts and 2 free throws) last night as a freshman in a varsity level game. DD also played for many years.

Hey battricia ~ you would like DS's room - they come to visit him there. We had to make him a bedroom in the basement when my mom came to live with us. He loves it and seems like the bats do too. Twice now we've had to chase one out! This, of course, leads us to referring to it as "to the bat cave!" and also the "bat-room" .

And froglady ~ would like it too. He has a tank with two frogs he's had for a while, plus a fish tank, plus a bearded dragon, etc.

I'm in commercial real estate so I am always gazing on other people's castles but it really is a reference to the fact that I immediately gravitate to the castle at MK whenever I can - I long for the view of the castle as we approach the world and I love to sit in the rose garden and just look at the castle. It is SOOOOO Disney to me. I always imagine I am snow white gazing on those other two princesses' castles and wondering when I am going to get mine built.

 

[Rippington'sFan]

"The Rippington's" are one of the best contemporary jazz bands in the world. I'm a big fan of theirs. That's how I got my user name. I'm into that kind of music.

 

[SyracuseWolvrine]

I grew up in Ann Arbor, and was a big UM Wolverine fan, hence "Wolverine", and I go to Syracuse University, hence "Syracuse". When I went to register this name for my AIM screenname, it wouldn't let me have enough characters to spell "Wolverine", so I dropped an "e" and became SyracuseWolvrine.

(PS to Scarlett873 - I'm an 8/31 bday too but just a few years younger)

a naming convention that seemed to work well for the band Five for Fighting ...

(semi-related: the very first penalty I ever called as a ref was 2 for roughing)

I have my initials. I actually was pretty bummed out after I did it because I didn't realize I could be so creative until after everything was done. Oh well.....I got over it

 

[Nutsy]

Mine was real easy...........Nutsy is an Aussie cartoon character, a Koala to be exact.

I don't know if you get any Aussie shows over there, but if you've ever heard of or seen Blinky Bill, then Nutsy is the female Koala & Blinky Bills best friend

 

[WhenUwishUponAstar]

I love the song, makes me tear up when i'm in the parks......

and my name is star

I figured anything close to just star would be taken so I went with the whole first line!

 

[aesalsa]

The "a" and "e" stand for my first and middle names: Ana (said "Ah-nah") and Erika. Why don't I go by my first name? Well, I didn't know that was my first name until I was about 8! And because my parents thought that "ErikA Ana" sounded funny, so they switched them. I was given the family name Ana in honor of my grandmother and great-grandmother on my mother's side. The "salsa" part comes from how my maiden name sounds to some little kids I used to know (Salzer), and because I can be a bit spicy !

Maybe a little too much information. . .

That's really cool!
That's the way I used to spell "mommy" when I was little! My mom is from Colombia, South America, and that's the way she taught us to spell it ("mami" is phonetic in Spanish, and sounds like "mommy").
