Explain user name and avatar, please
I have no face/avatar for here, as I have not come across one yet.
I do 'see' them as the members faces, and like any face, some I recognise, others I do not. When a member changes their face, I may not recognise them - I do not always 'see' their user name, unless it stands out to me, like their face.
I have many user-names depending on what type of site it is for.
My 'user-name' here is actually half of one I use. The other half I decided at the last second not to use, as I did not want people thinking that I had replaced a 'C' with a 'K', as that had happened at another site I use occassionally. For some, ignorance is bliss.
Sadly, without Kunti in the name, the meaning behind the 'user-name' does not hold the strength it should
Surya is a deity from Hinduism. Surya also has many names, but I am using the one from The Mahabharata.
The Mahabharata is a very old text, I am certain, if anyone was to take the time to read it and compare it to another younger text,
they may be coming intrigued.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kunti
Kunti could not believe the mantra, so she tried to use it. The god Surya, appeared. She asked him to go back, but Surya said he was compelled to fulfill the mantra before returning. After birth of the child, Kunti abandoned the child in a basket in a river. This child was later found and adopted by a chariot driver and his wife, and was named Karna. He went on to become a central character in the Mahābhārata. The ambiguous emotions Karna felt about his birth mother play an important role in the Mahābhārata.

That is beautiful, thank you for sharing your place.

I have wondered if that was the one your name came from.
I thought it was a reference to the mirror... and that you had used an "a" instead of an "e"

My username is a revamp of another username I had a few years ago on a different forum. On a forum called "emoscene" I was called Xxmonkey_biznisxX, but I didn't like the username because even though I was on an emo site I stopped being "emo" and there were newer not-emo members joining, also my username would be associated with the old me. So changing my posting style wouldn't work if I had the same username. So I thought I'd start anew and change my username, it was then MONKEY. And MONKEY has been used on many forums since.
My avatar is just a picture of one of my favourite animals, but as a rastafarian. So far out of all the avatars I've had, this one seems to suit my posts more somehow, I dunno why but when I read my posts I can imagine the orang on my avatar saying it.

Yeah, I've been told that a few times. It's still a cool reference though.
I always thought you were somehow named for Eris, the Greek god of strife and discord. Also the principle deity of the Discordians.
Moog - I like synthesizers.
Avatar - I like this avatar.

Lol, nope. I'll have to ask my friend where she got the name idea from, now I'm really curious. Too bad we lost contact since we graduated high school. D:
The username is like Jay-Z, but with Asp instead of the Jay. Amazing creative skill on my part. I chose it at random because I had a Jay-Z song playing as I registered.
My current avatar is Moses holding an iPad. Coz, ya know, he had the tablets with the commandments, and the iPad is a tablet? I'm actually quite proud of my avatar, I made it myself

It's very cool. Have you seen this, btw? http://www.sfweekly.com/2010-08-11/news ... -autism/3/
I haven't finished reading it yet, so not sure what I think about it.

Thanks! And yup. I'll admit I didn't read through the entire 6 page article, but I read the first page and skimmed the rest with great interest. I've read a lot about autistic kids who just don't communicate getting phones, computers, etc in front of them and suddenly being able to do so because of the technology, I think it's amazing. The iPad really is magical
My name is Finnish, it means Light in the Night. It's only nick, but it's like my real name. Even my Mum calls me Valoyossa sometimes.
My avatar is a cover of great Kraftwerk's album. I feel like a machine.
Here's one song:

Dnuos - The word "Sound" backwards. I'm obsessed with music and couldn't figure out what to name myself! I wish I could change this, but I dunno what to! haha
Avatar - From the game Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, it's Tormod. I sorta semi-identify with him; he's sorta hyperactive and childish, even though he's older. He's the leader of this emancipation group, to free laguz (which are sorta like half-humans that can transform into animals) from being slaves. It's something I'd probably do in his shoes.
I just wish he had more to do in the plot in that game. He's gone most of the game. xP
