I originally was oxyfiend which spoke for itself. After a while I no longer felt that way so I asked to change it and chose this one which translates as "live once" so why not do it in a manner I can be proud of.

Mine is from the Soundgarden song. The song really describes my battle with alcohol.

Sunnyflower- my favorite flower is the sunflower, I love sunny days, and it depicts my personality (when I am "sober"). People call me sunshine when I'm smiling ear to ear.

My mum calls me her Blue Eyed Boy, and when I joined I felt like all I wanted was my mum to make everything ok (I am a big mummy's boy).

My eyes are one of the few things about myself that I like, but when I drink (amongst other things) my eyes look so bleak and dead. And there is a song called I Do Not Hook Up by Kelly Clarkson and in it she sings:

Oh, sweetheart, put the bottle down
You've got too much talent
I see you through those bloodshot eyes
There's a cure, you've found it
Slow motion, sparks, you've caught that chill
Now don't deny it
But boys will be boys, oh, yes, they will
They don't wanna define it
Just give up the game and get into me
If you're looking for thrills then get comfy

My boyfriend says this reminds him of me

So yeah, got a think about eyes lol

For me too, though I wish they weren't. Having had no real tender touchy-feely contact with a woman in over 8 years I really miss the cuddling. It's so hard being lonely and in an unloving relationship.

D'oh! Add it to the list of things I didn't think through . .
I'm not trying to be pedantic but in science, computer programming, statistics, etc. all numbers below 1 are designated "zero point then the value", so you got it right. I think it's so there is no confusion and to remove the posibility of accidentally puting a number before the decimal after the fact. Or maybe it's simply for balance - it looks more natural with the leading zero. 0.00 looks better than .00 - lol.

When drinking I get chatty and refer to people as Missy. 7 is a good number.

Picture Bob Weir doing a cover of the Dylan song, Jerry's chin tucked into his man boobs as he plucks away...Bob drawing out the "Oh, Momma" with his skeletal screech.
Always good to see another sober Deadhead!

My name, well, the big book saved my life so why not thump it?

Every time I dropped my children off for preschool or kindergarten (years ago) I would tell them, “Don’t forget to be nice.”

My best (and only) friend in the world calls me this - and I love it 'cause I have pretty low self esteem most of the time and it lifts my spirits when he says it.
