What's the story behind your user name?

my name, parrhesia, is a greek concept which means the moral obligation to speak your mind.

I just simply use this name because i created a yahoo account 5 years ago for my email and just stick to the same name for all the sites i visit.

Xenon being the rarist gas in the universe...and god...hehe...Rarist of the rare...coolist of the cool...master of all.

I tried a bunch of other names but I couldn't get those for some reason or another after a while I wasn't too happy about it so, I typed in NotTooHappy.

Dude..your avatar is hilarious!!...it's freaking me out!!

I concur. That avatar is mighty mesmerizing.

? I was sure I replied to this thread...
I put "I have no idea..."

Mine is kind of double edged. One side is the wierd Dreamz I often have and the other side is working towards dreamz that you may have put off for longer than you like. Its usually Abstract Dreamz, but this is much easier to type.

I chose the user name Sapphire after my Birth Stone for 'September'.

This is a good question! But before I reveal the meaning behind by User Name, I was wondering if anyone here actually had any theories as to what it means?

Only reason I ask is because it seems nobody so far has ever noticed that I'm aware of even though it's quite obvious IMO.

I have always known it is a picture of "you".

To me it represents your hands on a wall with you looking into ATS from just outside!

I agree. I have a song in my head that plays along with this avatar......AC~DC's - I've Got Big B

lls....

..and the look on the little girls face.......priceless....

A face and hands looking in through a window?

MA and GAZ, you are both correct. I don't know why so many others never saw it. They'd go off about Mojo this or that and Jim Morrison and so on. Making things way to complicated ya know.......

I of course never doubted either of you for a second!!

I just love the sound of the word, plus I have a morbid obsession for death, and in French death is "mort", and "mort" and "morbid" kinda sound alike, a little.

Dictionary.com
morbid

Psychologically unhealthy or unwholesome: �He suffered much from a morbid acuteness of the senses� (Edgar Allan Poe).

Characterized by preoccupation with unwholesome thoughts or feelings: read the account of the murder with a morbid interest.

I changed the "o" by a "0" so I'm sure it's not registered anywhere. It worked, so far..

Edit: thehippiedude, I swear I almost died laughing at your avatar...this is dangerous dude...
You seriously have the funniest avatar I ever seen here, or anywhere else on the net...

Don't blame him dude, it's well known, newbies don't know how to use the search fonction.

And every old topics have to re-appear once in a while, it seems inevitable.
