I've been using my name for several years for xbox e-mail and such, I am of British heritage and my wife is Irish. I won however, she now has a English last name. But my daughter has a Irish middle name: Aoibheann. Have fun trying to pronounce that one.

That's pretty. I've always had a thing for names, Irish ones in particular. There are a lot of nice ones.

MISSY... I had my real name before but I had the hope that my AH would eventually sign in which never happened. Then he wouldnt catch on to who I am.
That of course never happened.... why would he come on these forums when he isnt an alcholic????? hmmmm

When I first started to post here I was "at a lose". No words could describe my feelings other then that.
Now, I am no longer at a lose but did not want to change my name.

When I joined, it was a time when I walked around the house every day saying "holy schit".......I doubt they would have allowed that.

I lurked this forum for at least six months before I got the courage to post. The day I joined I had Van Morrison's "Brown-Eyed Girl" stuck in my head.

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-lateeda..................................

I then wanted to change it because it sounded a little "flippant." Then people started referring to me as LTD, and I liked that because I am a "limited edition."

One of my other hobbies is amateur astronomy. Yep, I'm a geek with a telescope collection. I use the same screen name on a paintball forum. Funny thing is on my astronomy forum I go by ArizonaScott. Go figure!

That's funny, every time I see your name, I say it in Katherine Hepburn's voice. I figured it was something she said in Philadelphia Story. Either that or you had a pic of Kate and a Diane Keaton line.

If that were the case, wouldn't it be "Ras-row?"
