NOMOMERLOTMAMMA

Rowen,

I just Knew IT! I loved that book, and that's always as I pictured you (as that character) before we got all high tech with the profiles pictures etc.

I used to be merlotmamma. That's what I used to drink, and I have a few kids. When I had my year sober birthday, I asked that it be changed..

Eh, I'm a creature of the obvious.

Gmoney

It's my "street" nickname, but most of my oldest friends call me "G." One of my classmates started calling me 'G' (for Garry) when I was a kid and it stuck. Over the years I've been called G-solo, G-dog, G-man, G-force, etc... Once the movie New Jack City came out with a character named Gmoney...it was a wrap.

SelfSeeking

When I was signing on for the first time I felt that my real self was buried under so much garbage from and around my drinking that I didn't even really know who I was anymore. I'm getting sober because I want to get to know that person. Still a work in progress, so I doubt I'll be changing my name anytime soon!

Jig

I have no story to tell. I have no idea where Jig came from. I feel a bit wierd now.

Rusty Zipper

jig no need jigs, your hang'n around with some of the weirdest people on the planet!

some of the best too!

sunshinebaby

Hi everyone, I love this thread. I choose my username because I love sunshine, sitting in my deckchair feeling the sun on my face (sunscreen and hat on of course). And I want another baby. We have been trying for 2 1/2 yrs and 4 miscarriages later, think that the 3 kids we have are what is meant to be. And you know, I actually feel okay about that now.

wibble

i'm was trying to post an image of Blackadder goes forth which is where wibble comes from.... but then i realised it was easier to herd snakes than upload photos so i gave up....

Jersey Nonny

Good idea! After reading all the quirky and profound explanations, mine seems terribly mundane!

inoishudbdead

i know i should be dead.

Ariklein

Well, I tried others to register (like a pen name Geo and Geokozmos) but they were not accepted it said it was used already by others. So i chose this, which consits of my great-grandfather's name (not in use any more since generations). So that is why.

rurdy2rk

Rurdy2rk

I've used this for over 10 years. It stands for:

Are
You
Ready
To
Rock

I like the name, but it often gets called "Rudy"

Isaiah

I wanted a "real" name that wasn't my own. So I borrowed one from the closest book I had to me at the time, which was the Bible. I always liked the sound of "Isaiah."

Hilltopper1972

Hilltopper is because growing up we lived up on top of the highest hill in our city. My Dad used it as his CB Handle when we went rv'ing. My ancestors are all from Scotland which were often times called Hilltoppers which could be the second reason my Dad made it up. There are a couple of Colleges that use the same name. I wonder if they got the idea from me?

sct

Mine is NOT my initials. It's from a poem by ee cummings, (will you teach a...)

Ask a simple crazy thing,
Singing in the snow.

When I got clean, it was January, in Chicago... I was pretty crazy, and simple, and I woke up in the snow. I think it fits. I'm still a simple crazy thing... but I sleep inside now.

Astro

I'm such an astronomy geek. SCT stands for Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope.

Hmmmm, I like your's much better!

Greenbean

New to this site today and this was a very interesting thread to read. I chose my user name after harvesting up some greenbeans out of the garden today.....

least

I love greenbeans and so do my dogs!! Welcome to the site!

SlvrMag

The way I always thought of your name was "NO MOM" (while drinking) "OR LOT MOMMA" (while sober)

Guess I'm just weird!

Skyburst

*drags out the thread and dusts it off*

This is a skyburst...

Eclipse

It's beautiful. Is that how you are feeling about life?
