[MeetingMickeyin2006]

When I joined the board in early '05, I was planning our first trip for July '06. I've planned and canceled so many trips due surprise pregnancies, buying a house, etc. We're finally going in April '09 to celebrate out 10 year wedding anniversary. Maybe I should change it to MeetingMickeyIn2009?

 

[Vallie]

my real name is Valeria.. but everyone calls me Vallie... started out with Valley girl when i was younger.. then shortened to vallie

 

[Piecey]

High School nickname... Patsy Colorguard (I was in Colorguard.. haha) which turned into "PC" which I turned into "Piecey"... by my senior year everyone called me "Piece"

I used to be a dork and when I passed notes in high school I'd sign them "Piece out!"

 

[actionvaughn]

It goes back to an old conversation I had with a friend about the show, Alias. If you remember, Michael Vartan's character Vaughn was sure attractive when he went all action-y.

That's my story, I'm sticking to it.

 

[gabbyrosebud]

Mine is named after my daughter's beautiful name Gabrielle Rose. I just added the bud because I thought it sounded cute!

 

[lucas]

My maiden name from many moons ago.

 

[athenna]

My real name is Jennifer, but when I was a kid in the 70's there were a LOT of Jennifers, so I wanted to be different....I wanted something that sounded ''exotic'' so I decided I liked the name Athenna...It's normally spelled with only 1 'N' but I march to the beat of a different drummer anyway.

 

[Toot Sweet]

Mine is DD's nickname. She was a gassy baby...

[Oreo Cookie]

My favorite cookie is the Oreo, and my cat is named Oreo Cookie.

 

[coliebird]

I call my daughter Colie (her name is Nicole). Coliebird is a nickname her 1st babysitter gave her. I couldn't come up with anything on my own, so I used that.

 

[catbertdave99]

I spent a lot of time in HR work -- and I love the Dilbert cartoon strip -- so my favorite Dilbert character was "Catbert", the evil HR Director.

My name is Dave, and at a company I managed where we all had "unit numbers," the staff gave me the name "Unit 99" -- hence, CatbertDave99.

 

[swilphil]

"Swil" is a high school/college nickname. ("S" is my first initial and "wil" is the first syllable of my maiden name.)

Phil is my husband.

 

[ChrizJen]

I LOVE this thread! I've only had a chance to read through a few pages so far, but I often wonder where some names came from, so this is fun!

Mine is ChrizJen because my name is Christal, and Dpartner's name is Jen...simple as that...
Except...why not ChrisJen, you ask? It all started when I got my email address...I tried ChrisJen, and it was already taken. So I settled for ChrizJen, and in order to not confuse myself with multiple forms of the username, I decided to stick with ChrizJen for my DIS name...

I had someone once ask me how I came up with such a creative way to spell "Christian"....

-Christal

 

[maxiesmom]

Maxie was my beloved German Shepard. She was very sick from the time she was 6 months old. Asthma, an enlarged heart, hip dysplasia, and the list goes on and on. Poor baby! Due to her meds, she would need potty breaks 2 or 3 times a night. She really was like a child to me. She has been gone for 3 years, but I still miss her. Sorry to be such a downer.

 

[Golf4food]

Many years ago there used to be a set of t-shirts and baseball caps that had signs on them that looked like homeless person signs but instead of "Will Workd 4 Food" they had things like "Will Golf 4 Food" or "Will Fish 4 Food" or "Will $#%&* 4 Food"...

I love golf, so I started using Golf4food as in "Will Golf 4 Food". I also spent a few years working at a golf store in college, so technically while I wasn't playing golf, I was working in golf for my food.

If I were to change my user name now I would become the Pirate Penguin.

 

[Launchpad11B]

Launchpad is in my signature and 11B is my military job specialty.

 

[Diznotyzed]

I trace my love for Disney Parks and my admiration for Walt Disney back to essentially being hypnotized as a child by watching Disney programs on TV every Sunday night. Although the programs went through name changes, the farthest back I remember it was "The Wonderful World of Color".

 

[mickaholic4077]

I couldn't decide whether I liked Mickey or MASH more,hence mickaholic4077.
