Mine says that all of my special interests are London related, and that if I feel that I'm being dominated in any way, that I can be quite rebellious. I also have a Cockney accent.

Mine says I was too unoriginal to think of anything interesting, so instead I replaced the first letter of my name with a "K". :)

Maybe it could be ironic, since I'm normally a grammar Nazi and "Klint" is incorrect. :lol:

Though if I had thought about it, and if the forums would have allowed me, I would have used my name in it's Katakana form (クリント). That way it would at least say I like Japanese writing. :wink:

I liked Styx a few years back and hadn't gone to the norm of what I do and use Rush songs as usernames as I am terribly uncreative

When I started posting on WP, I was extremely obsessed with Godzilla movies (I still am).

Simple enough. Between 10th and 12th grade my principal interest migrated from biology with a focus on taxonomy to languages with a focus on classification and language history. Where it has remained as a if not always the prime thread.

Rejected my mainstream linguistics, I elect to link myself to the rejected and abominated field of Philology. Modern linguistics has no use for languages or words.

Initials. They are the ones I enter at the highscore of arcade games.

I like it because it's warm and round. I wanted a name that made me seem a bit friendlier. It's pure manipulation!

b9 is the model number of the robot that i always felt similar to.

also, i am not malignant, and my posts do not metastasize through the other members contributions.
they are self contained, and they remain unnoticed by the other cells in the body of this site.
they are benign (b9) and are just localized words in a "leak proof" bag that does not rupture and spill into the consciousness of anyone else.

I can never think of anything like a user name at the moment and I'm to impatient to spent too much time thinking about it. I don't have a clue why I picked Raptor as a user name so it doesn't really say anything about me.

I did not construct a username as others did. When the prompt asked for a username, I emptied my mind zen-style and sat in front of the keyboard for a few seconds. The word "Janissy" floated into my consciousness unbidden. So I used it, since my subconscious chose it. Later I googled it to find out if it meant anything and discovered that it was the username of quite a few other people in various other sites. And also that somewhere out there is a person named Jan Issy. But she is not me. I have now been using it for long enough that it does feel like an alter-ego name.
