I'm sure my username is pretty self explanitary, but just for clarification:

I like Pokemon, still to this day regardless of the fact that it isn't as popular as it once was, I use the same username almost everywhere with a few exceptions.  Obviously "Pikachu" is the name of one of the Pokemon (#25 in the known list), and of course is my favourite  :grin:
I thought of it a few years ago, as I first began participating on forums. (using quite bad grammar and spelling, not having written more than a few words of English outside of school. :lol: I learned quickly though, and even when I was new to forum discussion, I were coherent and used good punctuation, and so wasn't seen as too annoying, altought I occasionally appeared somewhat "n00bish") For the first few posts I used my real name, not having thought of a good nickname. Then, as I was quite a nerd, very weird, and largely despised, sometimes hated, and generally looked down upon, I found "The Freak" quite fitting. It was clearly very common however, so I thought up a unique way of writing it. (originally I concidered !The fREaK#, but I found #The fREaK! better)

Since then, it has been my standard username on sites and forums, until lately; now I sometimes use "Fluffalizer" instead when registering on a new site or forum. Apart from a few instances of people seeing my name as indicating me being a "wannabe-1337 n00b", I haven't had any problems with it, and will likely keep using it.
My screenname is the name of an ancient Mongol general. It translates in Mongolian to Subatai the Valiant. I am obsessed with the Mongol empire, so that is where I got it. I am extremely proud of my screenname, and I will never, ever change it.

I've always liked MewTwo, or Myutsuu, as he's known in Japan.  He's had to fight against discrimination as well, because he's the only one of his kind (a genetic variant of Mew, grown by humans in a testtube.)  I really feel he'd be a kindred spirit to us AS people!
Alison, who takes it all WAY too seriously! :grin:

My user name is M.  Not so much because it is unimaginative but because I like my privacy.
The name Boloop was created awhile ago.  When i was first introduced to the big wide world of the internet.

I became very intrested in computers and watned to make a website site. It had to have a name. I wanted it to be a sound. I kept make some noises and trying to write them in words... Eventually the simple strange but fun word 'Boloop' was used. Pronouced Bol - oop. Not what some people do and say 'Bol-Lop'

And since at the time it was hosted on geocities. I registered that name. And I thought i would register that site for every site for which i needed to register for.

A Unique simple name to remember.

Heck, I even register http://www.boloop.com Its mine! Don't touch! Tongue
Mine is the first 4 letters of my name. It originates from playing Nintendo games as a child, and my 7 letter name wouldn't fit in the fields. So, rather than being "crysta" I became "crys."

i choose that name many years prior to my diagnosis, as i always had the feeling that something was missing.

...en skruv lös? :lol:

ozymandias from a character in a british sci-fi trilogy by John Christopher that I read as a boy back in the 60's.  He was a wanderer pretending to be mad to recruit young people to overthrow an alien conquest of earth.

It was only a few years ago that I read the poem by Percy Brysse Shelley in its entirety.  But, I have always had these lines memorized for years.

"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings,
Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair."

I like to think about those lines as I finish some little yard landscaping project, like the time I constructed a mini stonehenge on my front lawn. :roll:  :razz:  :wink:

Yee hah..666 posts, look upon my mark of the beast numbers and ........snicker quietly! ]:-)

Peace
Swedish for mermaid. Because it's tricky to get your tongue round(!) and I look Scandinavian (blonde hair, blue eyes and fair skin). When my father visited Denmark a while ago he was struck by how many girls looked like me, so he said. That's one reason why I was gutted that the Danish crown prince's wedding wasn't televised in this country, because it would have been fun to look out for my doppelganger(s) in the crowd.

Sju sjösjuk sjöjungfrur = Seven seasick mermaids

On another forum I'm Aeolienne. Sounds like a French girl's name, but it's actually the adjective used for wind energy!
Tenacious for stubborn and sticking to a point I think is important and cj for my initials.

The revamped forum - excellent in all other respects - can't cope with umlauts. So I've changed to my other username. At least that saves me from having to memorise a completely new one! Rolleyes

When I was little I told my father about some aspie related difficulties I was having...He told me, I should be like a duck: Smooth on the surface, but paddle like to devil underneath.

Something I'm still doing, even up to the present day.

Sorry it appears my dyslexia has kicked in again!
