topic of the moment : usernames

our names or identities far away from that which is given unto us at birth ~ but, are we content with what our parents thought we should be called? for myself, not so much.. =. i'm more the advocate in believing in power within a name, & having a singular name means far more to your's truly than a first, last & middle name all squeezed into one..

perhaps some enjoy more than one & more power to those that do; but i prefer simplicity, so one works far better than three.. ;p *muses* now comes the interesting part for those that read, what is the special meaning behind your username(s) & why did you choose them for use at ~athq?

ja' ;)

When writing, one of the hardest things for me to do has always been to name my characters. They had to be symbolic, but also pleasing to the ear. Upon searching for 'strength' in an online baby names search, I stumbled upon Astrid, which means "of unusual strength and beauty." The latter is completely useless to me, but the former is very appealing.

Since then, Astrid's stuck.

"So this Zealot comes to my door, all glazed eyes and clean reproductive organs, asking me if I ever think about God. So I tell him I killed God. I tracked God down like a rabid dog, hacked off his legs with a hedge trimmer, raped him with a corncob and boiled off his corpse in an acid bath. So he pulls an alternating-current taser on me and tells me that only the Official Serbian Church of Tesla can save my polyphase intrinsic electric field, known to non-engineers as 'the soul.' So I hit him. What would you do?" -- Warren Ellis, Transmetropolitan
