R&P: Y did u choose ur Nickname & Avatar pic ?

yes i chose my nickname because it's also my name on other boards and on myspace...and stuff. and the avatar is me - and if you can't tell cuz the pic is so damn small, that's maiden's eddie on my back. he is not finished yet.

My avatar is basically similar to how i used to look when i was in my late teens to mid 20s.

My real name is Paul and when i started here at Y!A, i was given the name PAUL I. I went with that for about a year until i saw an episode of Family Guy which featured a character called Big Fat Paulie.

I change My Avatar all the time - 'cause it's Fun !!!

The Current one is because of a RUSH Post I put out on Saturday, that only received 2 Answers LOL.

UserName ??

It's always "Ostrich" with something after it, depending on my Mood or something I saw.

Why "Ostrich" ?

You are NAWT going to believe this -- It is Such a Great Story !!! --

Well... I was... Oh, wait -- I think everyone just fell asleep reading my answer... so, <whisper> if you dont mind... im jus gonna slip awayyyyyy........ssshhhhhhhhhhhhh.....

Hi Hell Cat.

My Name? Because I'm a HUGE Star Wars Fan and Darth Maul was a Badass, and one of the coolest Star Wars characters ever.

My Avatar? I switch to a new Album Cover every week, it's been My "gimmick" for as long as I've been in R&P. This weeks cover and band is Overdrive, a sweet N.W.O.B.H.M. Band.

Black Aliss is a character in the Terry Prachett Disc World Novels...& I love them.

My Avatar is an approximation of me in a Donna Reed costume...When I was a youngster, people asked me what I wanted to be when I grow up, & I would answer "I wanna be Donna Reed"

I made my avatar look more like me a few days ago. I don't know how to put in a real picture of myself or I would do that.

I don't have a real nickname, but some of my friends call me Mama Nance, because I am like their mother hen (i give them advice that they don't take) LMAO

I never had a real nickname, i am I guess just a "Jersey Girl" as Springsteen would say.

The nickname's my name,really.

And I chose the avatar because I like the Bauhaus(the avatar pic is Peter Murphy,the singer of the group,era mid-80s I presume).

BTW,yesterday I found out I have the same avatar with another girl.

Well I love the guitarist of Bon Jovi- Richie Sambora my nickname is richiesamboragirl93, and my avatar pic because she looks like a rockstar and i love rock music!

Well the picture is just because I love the Beatles, especially George

<-----And IMO that's the best picture of him

My nickname? Well this is gonna get complicated....

I first started out as Beatles4evr, but I felt like that sounded like some 7 year old kid. Idk I just *didn't* like it.

So I changed it to Beatlesmaniac, but when I answered a question, by nickname besides my answer would read "Beatlesmar", and I didn't like that......

So I took out the S in Beatles, making myself Beatlemanic, so when it would cut off my nickname, it would say Beatleman, which is better than Beatlesmar.

I *wanted* to be Beatlesholic, but then I realized it would cut my name off to Beatlesho... (Lol ICSFMSLUT)

The RIP Syd Barrett came because of Syd Barrett Tribute week (which did NOT turn out too well...) and I just never took it off...

ICSFMSLUT - Hahahaha and I see you changed your name back! Good, because I couldn't think of another Pet name that went with I stay away...

Name- I'm a fan of the band A Perfect Circle.

Avatar- My current avatar is Optimus Prime, I'm a Transformers geek what can I say lol.

Echinopsis is the name of a cactus family with beautiful flowers and that's how I also see my personality - I can very well defend myself if necessary, but if treated the right way, I might just surprise you...:-) About the avatar: it's supposed to display my love for typography, I chose the E for Echinopsis of course.
