Whats in a name? Specificly Yours

Hello Whatukno, Magicmushroom here, well what can I say, the colours are great, the things I have seen are brilliant, and then our nanny state has to go and ban them.

LOL havent I met you before when I was younger? I am sure you would come around my home town about once a year kinda like christmas. only brighter and a lot more funny.

Well this name is one I chose just to have a different name thats not a persons name. So I thought I'd look up space terms and this one is the first one I came to that sounded good so here it is. Kind of simple huh?

I thought that it was a reference to the first space probe we sent out or a star trek reference. either way it's a cool screen name.

Thanks I am kinda glad this isnt going too fast I want to reply to each persons name. There is a lot of imagination at work here

well my name is annie...

and long before i even owned a pc, i spent approx. a year observing and considering the inherent flaws in our various forms of government and how they manifest in the ills of the society which they shape.
It was kind of like the time right after Buddha first left the palace and realized that life was not GREAT for all...just him...but it wasn't fair. I didn't sit under a bodhi tree but rather had a few compadres which were generous enough to provide me a listening audience as i developed my own utopian kingdom. I learned much from that exercise ('queen for a day').

I seem to naturally have a somewhat haughty/bitchy attitude (at worst); am gracious but unyielding (normally) and distant (stuck up) by default...and at that time i fronted it full blast as a shield and/or repellent in order to be let alone to my own self-finding.

see, i was on my own for the first time and newly divorced...pretty cute but totally 'not interested' in romance of any sort (a very difficult stand, trust me). it was either be a bitch or accumulate 'a steamer trunk full of issues' and i always like to travel light.

and so my buddies (my 'bros' ) began to call me 'the queen' or 'queen annie' - guys like nicknames in the tree house i found out - and it just stuck

so on the internet i was, at first, at a loss regarding screen names - any i thought of were already taken! but not too many gals claim the title 'queen' (more often 'princess' which i AM NOT) because it is one that is presumptuous and hard to back up - but always challenged, even in a subtle way on the net. And yet there is often still a queen annie so 38 is mine for a myriad of pointless (to you) meaningful (to me) reasons.

however for the sake of declaration i will say it stands for .38 caliber or .38 special.

Mine really isnt all that complicated....Uisge Baugh is an irish wiskey...had it one time liked it....became my name...I hated my old name Goatlovin that I had for two years but everyone made fun of it...That one was my old xbox live name so I switched to an irish drink that I find kind of refreshing

Cool I would like that thanks! LOL

Well, my ATS name is my real name, well I should say it is currently
my de jure name, but in three years it will be my legal name.


Iori is the Japanese equivalent of my English first name, and Komei
is just something I thought of, really something just in my mind one
day just went "You/I are Iori Komei.".

[edit on 2/8/2007 by iori_komei]

thanks Iori I didnt know it was going to be your actual name. You are only one of a handfull of people on ATS that actualy has the guts to put in their real name as their Screen Name

I thought about legally changing my name to Nicotine, but then I'd probably have trouble getting into restaurants...

I thought about legaly chainging my name to Reginald Darkman for a while... LOL but I was married at the time and my wife wasnt about to be Mrs Darkman.

This really is interesting...

I chose Prismatic Dragon Lady for a few reasons. Prismatic because I'm a colorful person, in that I'm slightly eccentric and I love bright colors. I could never stay away from anything colorful/shiny. Dragon because I was born in the year of the dragon, because I have Welsh somewhere WAY back in my father's family (hence my avatar, as well--that's the Welsh flag!), and dragons have been one of my favorite mythical creatures ever since I was a little girl. Lady? Well...I hope that one isn't hard to figure out...

Prismatic Dragon Lady

Thanks Prismatic Dragon Lady, I am actualy glad you wrote, I was guessing that you were a fan of D&D. But using your famaly history along with your interests is great! thank you for replying
