Lady Grendel 139 Posted October 9, 2005 My name comes from a song adapted from the epic poem Beowulf, the 'Lady' part is merely added to show I am female and was thought up by a female friend of mine, I was quite happy to just use Grendel, if there was a way to change my name and keep my post tally (insignificant though it is) I would be quite happy to change.

merlfox 0 Posted October 9, 2005 I'm most certainly acting like a noob now when I post questions not addressed to the thread topic, but I'm to curious to care Weatherman90, is very fond of magic logs, how about you? What exactly do you mean? If you by any chance are refering to RuneScape I must disappoint you by saying that I haven't played it. Lately, FinalFantasy has occupied most of my time. As well as Shining Force 2 on the Sega platform... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gunjaman5000 30 Posted October 10, 2005 I used to own a Holden (General Motors Australia) Commodore which had SV5000 along the side panels, for it was indeed a special vehicle and verily had an engine of five litres. I left it parked outside a friend's house to find the next morning some clown had written "GUNJAMAN" across the doors, ending right where the 5000 started, which I'm sure was meant to be "GANGAMAN". After getting over the cost of a respray and being stopped twice a day by the local constabulary, I found a funny(ish) side and insisted I be called by the name 'sent by God'. It didn't catch on. Beats Rodney though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Star Crossed 33 Posted October 10, 2005 StarCrossed. I'd tried to create a login with a space between the two words, i.e. Star Crossed, but it didn't work so I tried again without the space, and I'm stuck with it as is. The name came to me in a daydream. I'd been reading the DL as a guest for a while, but never really thought of a decent user name. Then, while I was thinking about something entirely different, the name just came to me. "Star", as in famous person, "Crossed", as in they're dead now, so they've got a cross on their grave/coffin (or, alternatively, when they die they are "crossed off" the deathlist). Also, Starcrossed, as in ill-fated. I then went to find an avatar based on the name. I couldn't find a decent avatar, so ended up with the rather bland one I now use. My avatar disappoints me every time I see it. I'm jealous of Tempus Fugit's classic stormy Big Ben look, or my personal favourite, Anubis' (Carlos the) Jackal photo, which I though was a stroke of evil genius. One day, maybe, just maybe, I'll find an avatar that better suits my name. The only thing I really DON'T like about my username is the Christian symbolism. It would seem to suggest that I believe that all dead people end up with a cross on their grave or whatever. These are certainly NOT my beliefs; I wish I'd cleared this up sooner, or just thought of a better username. I don't believe in any form of deity (no, not even you, Anubis). It dismays me that my fellow DLers may have a tainted view of me, albeit on a subconscious level, based on the christo-cruxiate element of my username and avatar. The more I think about that, the more it bothers me. Maybe I'm looking too deeply into it. Maybe it's just a kick-ass DL name that could benefit from a space in the middle?
