in 11th class we had to play the whole tradegy of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: "Faust. Der Tragödie erster Teil."(you can see a few pics of the performance in the detail field of my worsest submission)
And i acted the 2nd main character Mephisto, who is the devil (but a littlebit funny and ironic one) who bets with god, that he can manage it to bring a human into the hell.ok i failed, but i liked the way of humor Mephisto tried to lead him astray ;D

high school friends in church wanted to come up with greek-sounding names like Epaphroditus and Theophilus. So Roberto became Robertus, Jojo became Jobus and me, David became Davidus.

Been my user name ever since. 428 (my bday) was forced by some site (not dpc) that needed more characters.

This is nice reading guys.

No way, that name ain't for me. P and H, beside each other? :-O

Jason is my real name obviously, but my mom and dad named me after the movie "Jason and the Argonauts".

I started using LoveSpuds back in my CounterStrike days and its kind of stuck, any online gaming or forums I use now I always use LoveSpuds.

LoveSpuds = Testicles. EG a kick in the LoveSpuds!

I just came up with my nick. Evil tongues (my girlfriend) say that I came up with it after seeing the (first) movie "John Bigalow - Male gigolo".

Well. Nobody has it so I can use it everywhere.

I street race as a hobby (when I find the time, ha) and my car's name is Calamity. She gets into a LOT of trouble.... :) Needless to say, no one drives her but me and thus, I am the "master".

okay I'll throw it out there...
I have always liked frogs .. don't ask me why.. and when I met my husband his nickname was sapo... meaning toad I think in Spanish... not because he's ugly..but becausehe was born a premie.. like 2 lbs 4 oz.
when his family went in to see him, he was so small and had no hips like a tadpole kindof and sapo stuck... rather than putting a name tattoo on my body as a sign of love.. there is a frog on my lower back. Cheesy ?? maybe.. the things you do for love .. oh yeah and the chef is because I went to culinary school and love to cook... alot!

Well.. (AV4TAr = avatar)

In Hinduism, an avatar is the incarnation (bodily manifestation) of an Immortal Being, or of the Ultimate Supreme Being.

I just changed de second "A" for a "4" trying to separate my nickname form the other "AVATAR" nicknames.

My friends call mi AVATAr since 1997, it was my first and only nickname since i choose it.

Ok, mine is very unoriginal....My first and middle initial, first 3 of last name, and their are 5 of us in my house between my husband myself and our 3 kids.

My name came from a mispronounced version of the Italian word for "today". I saw it on a flyer one day and thought, "Oggi!" (pronounced Aw-gee). Someone eventually associated me with the word and it is now used to address me(in real life) more commonly than my actual name is (scary, huh?). I use it for most log in things, though if it is taken somewhere (and it has been, strangely enough), I generally add something like Ms. to it, as Ms. Oggi is what my boyfriend calls me when I'm being snooty and he wants to tease me about it.

First initial of first name, H for Harrison and my last name, Steg.

To put it simply, my name comes from a combination of my love of travel and my favorite animal. There are many other reasons why I use word 'walkabout', but I don't have time to go into them now. Perhaps another time.

Well, I was named after both of my grandfathers. As the first born grandchild, my parents thought that by satisfying both sides of the family they'd be free to name their next child whatever they wanted... WRONG! LOL Anyhow, I am very proud to be named after Senator Stuart B. Carter and NASA engineer James E. Hodge. :-) PLUS, I get to be associated with one of the most humanitarian USA Presidents: Jimmy Carter (since I have always gone by Jimmy).

my username? i made it when i joined deviantart.com. i was feeling like a jerk and wanted to make fun of all the artsty people by using the website to just host some pictures of my airsoft guns for another forum...never thinking that i'd actually use the website for it's intended purpose. but at that time i was just getting into photoshop, so i started uploading my photoshop work. then through that, i got into photography. and now i use art-inept for everything photo related. yep

Let's see easiest way to explain, It's just me. It's a mostly a religious thing, as well as a mix of my love of history and my love of fantasy.
On some other sites I'm known as "Lady of the Mist"

Mine isn't too creative -- it's just a word I like. And Turquoise was taken, so I added 919 to the end. 9/19 is my birthday.

I have better usernames on other sites; I'd change mine here, if I could.
