Captain Trips 222

Ever heard of Stephen King's THE STAND? There's this virus with a 99.9% mortality rate called captain trips. 222 is sort of a lucky number for me.

Captain Trips was also the nickname of Jerry Garcia of The Grateful Dead, for the obvious reason. I suspect that's where Stephen King learned of it.

My favorite Super Smash Bros. Brawl character is Meta Knight, but "Meta Knight" doesn't make a good nickname. "Darth Meta Knight" does.

I was a punk as a teenager. I was basicaly a goodie-goodie if I did not feel slighted by someone, I just didn't care if people thought I was weird and dressed however I pleased. I didn't follow trends and wasn't worried about being popular. Meerkats are my special intrest.

I am pretty gullible, and I don't like to diappoint people. I feel sorry for anyone even more naive than I am.

Noah Lottick was one such person. He joined and moved in with the cult of Scientology in Clearwater Florida. When they bullied him to donate more money, he did. When they told him it still wasn't enough, he jumped off a tall building (I think Scientology's Fort Harrison Hotel, critics sometimes call it the Fort Homocide) clutching all the remaining money he had on this earth -- about $117 if I remember correctly. His parents sued, but of course that didn't bring him back to life.

Rest in peace, Noah. We miss the great person you would have been and the accomplishments you would have made.

HAHAHAH I like that!

As in my case, it's pretty obvious. I like math. I am a logical thinker, so it comes easy to me once I grasp the concepts, which might take a while to process. Math is not my obsession, though; it's just my favourite subject at school.

I just thought that the name "aspiegirl" was cool, as I'm an aspie, and I was a girl (but now am a woman, as I've grown up). I attached the 2 because I somehow messed up in trying to establish an account, and it wouldn't let me use aspiegirl. So, consequently, I resorted to using aspiegirl2 instead.

only problem with your poll from my POV was that the choices you offered all required well above-average intelligence. if you had included some average schlub choices i [and the other average schlubs] then could have participated.
as for your name, it gives you a brave handle but also might intimidate some of the more retiring folk on this forum. just a thought.
cheers:+)

Since my name is Royger, I thought I use the nickname "Roger Dodger".
