I've been fugitive247 ever since I was first introduced to the World Wide Weird in 1997. Google it sometime. Last time I did, about 2 weeks ago, I got over 570 hits. Anyway...
I'm very open about the fact that I'm a recovering alkie/junkie (clean & sober since June 11, 1995), and that I have bipolar disorder and PTSD. Much of my pre-recovery life was hell. In the rooms of AA/NA I got the nickname "fugitive from hell," hence "fugitive." 247 stands for 24/7, or 24 hours/day, 7 days/week. This is how I must live my recovery. Put it all together and you've got my username, fugitive247.
That's the truth and I'm sticking to it!
Fugitive made a good point about googling her username, which made me curious, so I decided to google my own, because as I mentioned earlier, my user name was simply my first and last names combined. Anyway, a Google search revealed that malexander is a town in Sweden where apparently some horrible Nazi murders occured of local policemen back in 1999. Hopefully no one from Sweden was offended by my user name. Sorry in advance, I had no idea I might have to buy a new name.
I join like every message board with this name, 'ShadowNinja' but I'm currantly thinking of a cooler one, that no one in the world will ever have. When I do make it I'll still like this one though...
Lets see, I thought 'ShadowNinja' up. Mostly because I like ninjas.
my username, 'arthyr', actually orginate from an rpg game that i used to play back in high school about 5 and a half years ago. me and a really good friend of mine started an rpg in school, then later he wrote a book on it and i'm currently completing the prequel (yes i know i'm slacking...what can i say, it's my style). so my full character's name was arthyr lightbringer, and my friend's name was jareth lightbringer (brothers, i know...i'll have to share the story elsewhere). it was fun. though i've only used this name like 2 or 3 other places...most of the time i'm known as 'dominos'...a nickname that was given to me by my best friend's mom...heheh..
my user name has the first letter of my first name "C"(Claudia) "edie" & "G" is the first letter of my last name. My middle name is Edith but in high school I had a nickname of edie. I wanted to use Edieg but in Juno.com it was taken, I never tried getting the user name on Yahoo.
I love my username. One of the girl's who used to live in my dorm went by Amber, but her real name was Ambria. On another RPG I was trying to come up with a name for a new character, and went with it because it was original. I've become really attached to my character because of similar characteristics that she has that I share, though that was not the original intention.
I've just never felt comfortable going to a new site and using my real name. Call me paranoid, but I never do. I go by my real name on the other RPG because I've been there for three years. So, I try to pick usernames that I'm going to remember.
