Whenever I read someone's post, I always wonder what the nick means and what it stands for and what it signifies for this person.

As almost everyone knows I chose my nickname as I am a firmbeliever in my religion..

I have seen very unusual names and most I have never heard before..
Why did you choose yours and what does it mean?


Thanks all

My daughters name is MacKenzie... so mines pretty simply macks-mom :)

That's sweet...

Mine is a long story... essentially, it's the name I took for my character in an online game.

My husband always plays using the name Roland. Well, Roland was already taken, so he took Rolynd. His brother got that song "Rollin' with da homies" stuck in his head, and rolled the character Kykyn. Pretty soon half the guild had names that could be used with the last name "Widahomeas" (with da homies). So I took Synnen (Sinnin').

Nobody ever notices this, but mine is my name backwards.

So in 2000 when I signed up as a dog expert on www.Xpertsite.com, Labman was the first thing I thought of.

Mine is pretty simple I love the Wizard of Oz and have always viewed Glinda as the type of woman that I strive to be each day. Smart, caring, and very, very zen.

Okay, but I've always wondered about that picture of yours, too. :)

I'm really into the 1940's and the 1950's and love those type of pinup pictures. I think they look so pretty and you never see pics like that anymore.

If you met me in real life, I would be quite reserved. Until you got to know me and I got to know you. So that is the shy part. Green for my eyes.

I thought your name was "sign in" not "sinnin" :)

I did notice that:) Chriskoster

I guessed yours had to do something with the wizard of Oz... :)

I did notice the shy part of the name but I wondered if the rest was something in another language like German etc:D

Simple, my name is Rose and sometimes I get blue. ;)

Don't we all, Rose... ;)

Hello firm:

I chose excon because I couldn't say the things I say, if everybody knew I was a Rabbi.

excon

I'm named after a favourite cocktail bar. 2 cocktails for £5 all week. 100s to choose from, best margatita in town (better even than the mexican restaurant.) The only tequila, absinthe and gin cocktail I've ever had.

I thought of the name when I was looking at my bedroom wall which is covered in posters, postcards, gig tickets and random leaflets street preachers give me. It was one of the postcards with writing on it, liked the name so took it.

My avatar is a drawing I did from an article in a fashion magazine.

Mine is a name I have used on forums and what not for years. It came from the name I was given in high school by someone who told me I had the ability to help dissolve conflict among our friends, and look from both sides past the negative things.. She had said that It was like I was Alkaline - neuterlizing the acid. The angel part just was stuck on afterwards... most of the people I have know throughout my life, would know me by this name... so its stuck now... really it doesn't make all that much sense to me anymore, but its habit to use it as a screen name.

excon,
Are you really a Rabbi?
I always thought you were a true excon... :).

Templelane,
The name always made me think of a Buddhist temple...
I like your avatar, is it watercolour?

Alkalineangel,
Sounds like an avenger... until now, it is really a positive name... ;)

I liked Groucho Marx on another site that said he thought he everybody was using their real name.

I did not think all of the names are the real names,but I thought each name is significant and important part of the character of the person...

Like Labman, is that a labrador man?

I didn't go with a nick name Corrie is my real name:)
I know it is a boys name but its kind of grown on me over the years and I'm quite fond of it now

Well I wonder, lets just say I can do a great impression of Michael Jackson when he was in the Jackson 5 ;)

I thought it was Corrie... :) and I guessed right, for once;)

And CB,
I wouldn't have even guessed that...

I think your avatar is so cute...

Hello firm:

excon

Funny man :p

I thought it was Corrie....:) and I guessed right, for once;)

And CB,
I wouldnt have even guessed that
Every one deserves to be right at least once in there life ;)

Well I wonder, lets just say I can do a great impression of Michael Jackson when he was in the Jackson 5 ;)
Haha! For some reason I always thought this had something to do with a ficus tree... lol.

I'm resisting snobbish elitism in all its myriad forms.

I thought you were ordinary guy... :)
Your name sounded like a strong farmer type,tilling the land and growing your own food and living a basic,nature friendly,healthy life...

Guess mines mighty obvious too ;)

Hello Firmbeliever,

I guess you know why I chose my name, I have been on different question answer sites for over ten years now and I have always used the same username. I would like to think that every one of us are here to help others, guide others and Jesus has done that with his teachings. Jesus is a great example of what and how we should all be and how to treat each other.

Joe

CBW and Jesushelper,
Your names were easier to understand than most here... :)

Excon's not a rabbi??

I've always used a certain screen name on all other sites. I decided to be different this time. "Wondergirl" came to me during a two-minute time of deep thinking. I'm still wondering why I chose it.

I thought you were the girly version of wonder woman... :)

Nothing German to my name, although that is my heritage. Grn for green and eyzs because everyone uses eyes. I just needed to be different! Lol.

Really Shy, you are German?
I don't know why,but till you cleared what your name meant I thought it was in German... :)
Wild guesses end up sometimes too close...

I've always enjoyed boats. Sometimes mine... sometimes other people's boats (OPB's). I've always been the type that liked a challenge, so many years ago to show myself, and to gain credibility, I got my OUPV cert (Captain's License) hence...

name
I once thought it was "sugar-in-eyes" LOL (sorry)

Mine is part of my first name and last name stuck together, since I am not very clever in thinking up screen names. I was thinking of switching to Ghilliegal, (Irish dance soft shoes are called ghillies) but I don't want to lose my post points!

CaptainRich,
I did think you were about boats,

But you will not believe the image that came to my mind when I first saw your name.
I thought of those main male characters in Barbara Cartland romance books,must have been the name Rich... ;)

Emland,
I thought yours was a name of a place... sounded exotic,like dreamland.. :)

firmbeliever, I work in a public library and am with people who wonder a lot. I wonder too. In the library, we can find answers to our wonders.

(Ok, OK, I really am the girly version of Wonder Woman. You found me out.)

My teacher was a marine and told me about a guy named Sargent Hardkore and I used that name.

skell - home (http://www.skellrocks.com/)

That's me in my band!!

World Wide Words: Skell (http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-ske1.htm)

Actually I lied. Sorry. I really live on the streets and found laptop in the garbage about a year ago. Now I just go around tapping into peoples internet connections.

A million years ago I was a outlaw biker. My club name was Speed but it was taken so I settled on speedball1. I've slowed down considerably since those days. I'm a home owner and a model citizen. Hey! What else at 80 years of age?

Mine is a factious volleyball player that me and a team mate came up with. We made up a short story about this old man named Wang Doodle that taught us how to play. We actually got the name from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. So when we put a team together, that's the name we used. So, when I joined this site, that's the name I logged in as.

Mine is pretty simple I love the Wizard of Oz and have always viewed Glinda as the type of woman that I strive to be each day. Smart, caring, and very, very zen.

I love that movie too! So, what is your theory about where the red brick road goes?

I love that movie too! So, what is your theory about where the red brick road goes?


Well I love the book. In the book the yellow brick road leads to every place in the entire land of Oz. So I have to believe that it will lead you wherever it is that you need to go in life. Sometimes we set out for an adventure we were in no way prepared for and during that journey we learn about ourselves and see our real strength and courage.

My name is kind of like my signature mark. If you look on old antique maps you will more than likely see a nautical star somewhere. It's the star that looks 3-D. Nautical stars are my favorite shape/symbol, I even have them tattooed on me :p

I have used this username since I was a teenager, its about 10 years old, so you know where the 420 part came from. I've never actually done anything that involves the number 420, but it was a cool number when I was a teen. :p

Bravo! That's awesome! You have my everlasting respect.:)

Bravo!! That's awesome! You have my everlasting respect.:)

I'm flattered.

However my favorite part of the book is the fact that Dorothy is supposed to be between 6- 8 years old. It makes the adventure even more amazing.

Yes a wonderful story. Have you seen the musical Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West? I haven't, but I would like to.

No. The tickets are insane and constantly sold out. I actually had free tickets through a friend but they ended up getting taken back the person who gave them to her needed them back. I was too nice to raise a fuss.

In the early grades of school I was smarter than most of the kids so when the teachers would call for answers to questions the puplis would hold up their hands. But I would never get called on, so I always thought please let me tell you. Letmetellu

Great book, great musical!

MICHELLE IS MY MIDDLE NAME (MY NAME IS LACIE) AND 0410 IS MY LITTLE GIRL'S BIRTHDAY <3

S is my first name, A is my middle name and B is my last name. As for the 123 it gives it character

I agree, some names with numbers do look better than without the numbers.

Once I even thought that these numbers were used because the names given were not available, like when opening an e-mail account you don't get the name you want you just add a couple of numbers and it is accepted... :)

Mine is pretty simple as well.. my last name is Jizzle and after I received my doctrine in medicine, I became Dr. Jizzle.


Ok, well if you don't believe that, maybe you will believe this...

Well, my real name is Jason. My friends always joked about my obvious genius (seriously... stop laughing lol) and started calling me Docta or the Doctor... then later DrJ... which later translated to DrJizzle... fo' shizzle... really, Im nothing close to someone you would think would "seriously" use the ending "izzle" on ANYTHING.. but that's just the irony of it all ;)

Mine I've had for a long time... my mom use to call me her pink-purr... because I'm not really sure why... she made the mistake of telling the story to one of my friends... but they called me kat instead... for two reasons my nails and the way I sleep... a couple of my friends call me kitty... I always just go meow in response... inside joke... and 19 is my fav. Number

Hello my last name is Biggs so I picked Biggsie for my name, like the sound

My user name comes from cars. Modular was the type of V8 motor that I had in my Mustang, 01 was just the model year.

Mine is after one of my cats, Swirl... she is a girl and so am I... so swirlgirl!

My wife is almost my complete opposite, and she sees a lot of things different and new to me, ways that surprise me because I never would have thought of it that way, so one day she jokingly says "you are so ..."



Grace and Peace

I guessed it right, I knew you were in the box... literally:)

Well my last name is Rankin so I figured "rankrank" gave it flare. The 55 part is for my husband, in high school his football jersey number was 55... ahh the good ole days!

As many names have been used by members in other forums as well,
I would just like to say that I am firmbeliever only at AMHD and no other forums.
If anyone finds any other firmbelievers on another forum, it is not ME!;)

The only other forum I am a member of, I use a more personal and recognisable name for those who know me.

I'm retsoksirhc pretty much all the way around. Well, back in the day, I used to be cjk86. I decided that was a little too generic, so I spiced it up a little.

I used startover22 because I had a need to startover at the beginning I asked some questions about finances. Cleared up now thanks to some of you! The 22 is my husbands lucky number and it is weird that I use it, now that I think about it. One time I almost signed startover22 on my check. So stupid! Anyway it was really cool to see how you guys came up with your names! Once again an excellent thread by my friend firmbeliever!

Thanks Start,
Good to have you and your humour back...

"Esquire1" Here's my story. Growing up as a young lad in the 50's we lived not far from a railroad track. One evening playing outdoors a "rough looking" old man approached me and ask me to go inside and sneak him out something to eat. Well, I new I didn't have to sneak as I told my mother what I wanted. We had just finished eating dinner and I told mom about this old man. She fixed a plate of food (still warm) and I rushed it out to this man feeling like a hero. He ate it quickly and mumbled something and went on his way. Each day at the same time I would be outdoors waiting to see if he would return. From time to time he did show up wanting food. After time he started telling me stories of how he traveled all 48 states by riding box cars on trains. To me he seemed quite intellegent. As I grew up I wanted to be like him. As a teen, I started juming in boxcars and traveling too. Wound up in Virginia Beach and was homeless there for a while, Found a little work to earn money to return home, by bus this time with a purchased ticket. Well since then many years later I've wound up in Tennesse doing well for myself. I often think of this "Hobo" and how he impacted my life. When I needed a name for this site, I had been thinking of him. He went by Esquire. So I took his name. I'm sure after all these many years Esquire is in Hobo Heaven but his name goes on. This is my story and I'm sticking to it.

esquire1, that is wonderful! I love it.

As we are talking about "whats in a name"?
I keep wondering what each ones avatar represents, some have seals,dogs and cats,bunny etc.

Mine is normally something to do with nature,currently mine is the Solar system.
I had one of Kaaba/Mecca before,but I was thinking maybe it might scare off some people as it is such an outwards show of my firmbelief.
I also try not to put something girly in my avatar pic as it is more fun when members mistake me for a guy.

Well, While I was trying to think of a name, I looked at my computer mouse, and on it said "lenovo" so, well, there you go.

I think I had a Lenovo mouse sometime back... :)

My name and avatar represent the same thing , a few years ago a friend of mine died , he had been ill for a while. He had 3 beautiful Labradors which I adored , so I promised I would look after them for him if anything ever happened to him , their ages at the time were 1 ,7 and 8. Hence Friend4u178
Great post Firmbeleiver , I never thought I'd get to tell that story. Thanks

Friend4u178, You are truly a good person. I am sure you made his passing so much easier knowing that his babies would be taken care of.

Thanks bushg :)

Mine is my name dissected and squished back together again.
My friends call me Kae for short, so I spelled that part out.

My hobby is fishkeeping and I love marine life, so I usually have a pic of one of my fish as an avatar,
Or in this case, a couple of baby starfish my daughter and I found.

I like reading about the names too...
I had so many of them wrong LOL

Baby starfish!? That's so cute - there's me thinking they were tattoos but come to look at it one of them is your daughter's hand. It is amazing how you can look and see whatever you want not what's actually there.

Well, That's the best I can come up with:)

I agree, some names with numbers do look better than without the numbers.

Once I even thought that these numbers were used because the names given were not available, like when opening an e-mail account you dont get the name you want you just add a couple of numbers and it is accepted....:)

You are right about that. I often use the same username cece23. The 23 is, just as you say, is because cece is nearly always already in use by someone else, but with the 23 I am usually OK. My first and middle names begin with a C, that is where the cece comes in. Simple huh?

I don't have an avi at the moment.. guess I'll get round to it one of these days.

Your avi did fool me because for some reason at first I did think you were a guy! Don't know why because women can have firm beliefs too!

Also I don't think it would matter to have a pic of mecca or what ever. People are entitled to have their own beliefs and express them openly I feel. Other's shouldn't feel threatened by that, as long as they don't try to force their beliefs on others. Its what makes the world more interesting!

Mine?. it's my first name "r", maiden name "p" and last name "g" and the 219 is my birthday... yes very generic

Do a lot of you know each other on the "outside"?

Thank you for sharing..
Sorry for your loss.
You are a good friend to do all that for your friend.

cece23,
My avi does fool a lot of people,but I really do not wish for people to judge me,before they read what I have written.


rpg219,
Some of us here do know each other, there are some husbands and wives using this site with their own accounts and friends who log in together.
I did not know anyone here before I joined, but have made a few great friends at AMHD.

Do alot of you know each other on the "outside"?

I know a couple people who joined because I wouldn't shut up about the site, but they are on strict instructions not to read my posts! Too many secretes- makes me very nervous! The friend who goes on the most has completely different knowledge to me so I hope it's OK. So I suppose the answer is yes and no.

Do alot of you know each other on the "outside"?
Nobody. This is my secret world.

I figured as much, but I keep seeing people reference each other... guess that's just from seeing and talking to the same people over and over. I always see the same ones on here :)

My screen name was a no brainer when I signed up. My dog's name is Tuscany (that is him on my avatar) and the whole reason I signed on to this site was because I had a question about him. I stayed because I enjoyed the people.

Mine is cutybumbum, bcs I have cute bumbum

Mine is cutybumbum, bcs i have cute bumbum
You should display it on your avatar, Im sure a few of the guys would want to verify that! On second thoughts you'd better not ;)

Ok so after reading all these, I have decided that chosing my name because of my dog is a bit boring. But what else could I be called... maybe by the name the students have given... crazyteacherwithbigmouth

Nope, I dont know anyone :-(
Nice to meet you cece... now you know me. :D

Baby starfish!?! That's so cute - there's me thinking they were tattoos but come to look at it one of them is your daughter's hand. It is amazing how you can look and see whatever you want not what's actually there.

I'm discovering that myself too.
Especially with the names.


When I first read yours, I was thinking temple lane... like a path leading to a place of worship... Who would have know it's the best bar in town LOL.


Firm, this is fun!
I really enjoy reading everyone:D .

Was I surprised to know the truth!? :eek:

I am enjoying this thread a lot tooo..
Soo glad you are too.

Don't worry,
I thought Tuscany was an exotic place! ;)

I thought of Tuscany Italy.
Although crazyteacherwithbigmouth has a nice ring to it;)

Tuscany the dog is named after Tuscany Italy. My husband and I went to Italy for a month 2 summers ago for our honeymoon and Tuscany was our favorite place. It was there that we decided to get a dog. So, you guys were right about the place too.

mine?....it's my first name "r", maiden name "p" and last name "g" and the 219 is my birthday......yes very generic

Some may.. others maybe not. Some of us know each quite well from being here together for a while. There are some wonderful people here.

I would love to go to Italy.
Did you specifically choose Italy, or Tuscany for that matter, or did you visit other parts of Europe as well..

My mom and sister had been to Italy, and my husband is Italian so we decided to go there. My mom and sister helped us make up our tour (we did it on our own, not with an organization). We spent 3 days in Rome, a week in Positano (we had our own private villa), 4 days in Capri, a week in Tuscany (San Gimignano as our main starting place) and 5 days in Florence.

So we chose Italy, but toured the country. I want to go back there and live. The people, the culture, the atmosphere are all just amazing. It has changed how we look at retirement. I have not been anywhere else in Europe, however my mom, sister and I are planning a trip to Ireland next summer (if I am not pregnant).

Mine come from the lyrics of a song from one of my favourite bands, the Arctic Monkeys (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_monkeys).

In there song "Fake Tales of San Francisco" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fake_Tales_of_San_Francisco) they sing "He talks of San Francisco, he's from Hunter's Bar ..."

Well, I live right next to Hunter's Bar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter%27s_Bar)!

So, iAMfromHuntersBar! Lol!


My avatar is from Cyanide and Happiness (http://www.explosm.net/comics/1031/) which I love muchly!

Oh, and I know Moomin in real life... and love her muchly too!

Great thread by the way!

It only seems right I should follow you in this post iAMfromHuntersBar...

When iAMfromHuntersBar and I dated when we were at school he would squish my cheeks together and say I looked like a Moomin!
It became a pet name for me really, I like it it makes me smile!

So if you wonder what I look like my avatar is a good guide if you squish my cheeks together! HA!

Great post, could go on reading this all day!

Hey you two..

Are you two together now?
iAMfromHuntersBar and Moomin:)

You two are great! We need more stories like yours!

It makes me smile, too!

Yeah we are, we dated on and off between the ages of 14 and 17! We broke up and didn't speak for a few years! Now here we are 20 something and happy once again!

:o

Ha ha, yeah... we have been on and off (more off than on tbh) for close to 10 years now!

She's my sweetheart! *giggles*

*edit*

Look at that, we even posted at the same time! Lol!

10 years... is a long time,
Here's hoping there will be many more years of togetherness!:)

Thank you!

" What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;"

Sigh of love... how sweet are they... awwwwww
Hunter and moomin... I love it!

My name is star because I have always been into astronomy from the time I was little. Stars have so much mystery to them. They are so beautiful and can guide people that are lost. The 3114 is part of the address from my first house that I lived in many moons ago. It was a place of new experiences and a great deal of wisdom was gained there. Sometimes I miss that place. Things were so simple there.

Hey star... your name suits you.. :)

Star... you are a sweety... Firmy is so right, your name suits you well...

Thanks guys.. you are swell too. :O)

I'm really into the 1940's and the 1950's and love those type of pinup pictures. I think they look so pretty and you never see pics like that anymore.

I agree Glinda, things seemed a lot simpler then; 50'- 60's. The pictures and artwork from the 50's put me into a nostalgic great mood..

Start, the number 22 is special to me also. My sons' number on his football jersey from midget, junior high, high school and college. My daughter-in-law uses the number every time she gets the chance.

Great thread Firm; you are the deep thinker and grand person that I had you pegged for... good girl.

Enough with the compliments and go ahead with why you call yourself "Stringer":D


Whitebutterfly- I always love butterflies. And I was so desperate to have a white/light complexion. But now I'm getting near to that...

Hello butterfly,
I am one who loves butterflies , the more colour the more beautiful the butterfly:)

Hello butterfly,

I agree, colorful butterflies are my favorite. Be happy for who you are, you were made that way for a reason. :O)

I see some new names on the Desk...

Whenever I read someones post, I always wonder what the nick means and what it stands for and what it signifies for this person.

As almost everyone knows I chose my nickname as I am a firmbeliever in my religion..

I have seen very unusual names and most I have never heard before..
Why did you choose yours and what does it mean?


Thanks all
Not long ago my Dear Mum and my younger brother died suddenly, my Dad had died several years ago which still seems like yesterday, they were pure gold,anyway when Mum went (bless her) I then became an orphan which was exactly how I felt, very alone.

So that was the only thing in my head when I registered.

On a brighter note I hope you all had a lovely Easter time and ate lots of chocolate eggs
I held out until my footy team got slaughtered and then sat and ate 3 all in one go ,I felt real sick afterwards which yes was my own fault but it was comfort food... that's my story anyway.

Bless you all

0rphan, I don't know how old you are but you know it sounds like you turned out OK.

I hope you had a very nice Easter also, take care.

Orphan,
I am sorry for your loss.
May you find peace,someday.

I chose my nic name 4 years ago (hence the 2004 lol) not too sure why I chose it, just sounded cool to me at the time I guess lol but yea it stuck and I've used it for everything I've ever signed up for since then.

Mine's Obvious...

Its actually kind of ironic. Before I lived here I Did everything on the weekends wither it was movies or spending the nights or going to one of the local punk band Missed By A Long Shot Show's ( MySpace.com - Missed By A Long Shot - JUNEAU, Alaska - Pop Punk / Punk / Rock - www.myspace.com/missedbyalongshotak (http://www.myspace.com/missedbyalongshotak) )
Living here in TN I have no life, I simply Wake up each morning go to school, football pracitce, then home to here

Thank you go2004 and theguywithnolife for posting here... it is interesting how all our nicknames are so much more than just a name...

Well, I think my nickname is pretty obvious. I've been in the dental field for over 30 yrs now (27 as a hygienist). I'd hate to add up the number of mouths I've flossed over the years, including my own and my childrens'!

Great post firmbeliever! It was definitely fun to read! :)

Thank you flossie.

Cerisa? It is a little fun I am having with words. Ceresa is spanish for cherry. Lisa is my given name. Risa is spanish for laughter. I know, long time since I was... anyway, My husband and drove through Colorado as kids. Stopping at cherry stands, we ate cherries and spit out the seeds all the way across the state. We kid each other about it now.
We have had a lot of long nights because of his illness. Reminiscing about fun times helps.

Good night love... I am trying to help you... he he.:)

I always use the same username in every forum so this time I needed a change. It was really late at night when I made my account, and I was tired so I just wrote the first thing that came to mind, which was ohbby. Which is Oh Baby.

My first email name was kelleigh11, I had to put 11 cause it wouldn't let me just use the name. It's a combo of kelly leigh, my name and what I would have named my daughter if I hadn't miscarried.

When I came to realize my need for Jesus, I was saved. I grew up knowing the Bible said you can't get to heaven without Jesus, but as an adult realized that I am a sinner, and my attempts at righteousness are very dirty compared to God's holiness. So I finally realized that I am a sinner. Got a new email. Again, they wouldn't let me just use the name, had to have a number, so 7. It's the day of my birthday and a favorite to pick for "guess between 1 and whatever"

7 is also a significant importance in spiritual beliefs.

Yes, it is--the number of Divinity.

The Number Seven and Scripture (http://www.biblewheel.com/Topics/Seven.asp)

Whenever I read someones post, I always wonder what the nick means and what it stands for and what it signifies for this person.

As a Born Again Christian, my pseudonym came about due to my Faith and Belief in God who is the true sparkling Divine gem of Heaven in the sky! Since I strongly advocate for Jesus Christ and His Word, I felt it most apropos to use the name SkyGem in context to what I speak about. To God Be ALL the Glory!

For anyone who knows King Arthur, I should be obvious. And for anyone who doesn't know King Arthur, you probably don't care.

Nearly all the names I use are fantasy related in some way. Even though King Arthur may have existed, I'm sure his sorceress half-sister did not. :-) Synnen should appreciate that I use names from games a lot. (I almost named my new cat after a game character.) Whoever posted in the other thread that one of their favorite books is Mists of Avalon should appreciate me too. :-) (I pulled the spelling off the movie.)

Hello:

Me?? I've chosen a derivative of the name Exconious. For those of you who don't know, Exconious is the Greek who taught Achillies how to fight. He held off 300 Spartans while making love to the beautiful and powerful, Arcmenedies, the female ruler of East Berlin...

Such wry humor, with a touch of cynicism. :)

My username is from an Arctic Monkeys song "Still Take You Home" (who I am a HUGE HUGE fan of!)
"I fancy you with a passion, you're a Topshop princess, a rockstar too"
My other usernames I use are ilovebadsneakers (from a shirt the lads of Arctic Monkeys wear) and DearColonelCobb! (a LONGGG inside joke from one of my best mates Kyle <3)
