When I signed up, I was frustrated with constant problems with new gadgets, sometimes I just want to live back in the days before electricity when things were simpler. UNPLUG ME! :D

STOP THE RIDE, I WANNA GET OFF! :eek:

Guess :p

I've had the domain .com since the 90s too. I once got offered a 4 figure sum in UK Pounds to sell it, now with so many TLDs it is worth diddly :D Should have sold it way back then.
 
Mine's really boring and I've wanted to change it for that reason, and because it doesn't fit me anymore lol. No idea what I wanna change it too though..

It's my initials and my favorite car at the time, the Nissan 350Z. It isn't really my favorite car anymore lol.
 
I'm a car Guy so my name is a combination of me and my car.

76ford90lx... I was born in '76 my last name is Ford and I drive a '90 LX (Mustang)
 
This is my default, I'm not feeling creative username. It's supposed to be 'Jer of LD'. LD was the name of my band in high school. The handle stuck for this many years. I have another handle I go by, but I haven't used it much. Jer is short for Jeremy.

existential fashion disaster

Once upon a time, in a recording studio called Toad Hall, I was hanging around with my roommates, while they recorded an album, and they asked me to lay an additional track of bass guitar about 2 minutes into one of their songs. I did so, and then, while some mixing was going on, they were writing stuff down for the liner notes on the album and asked if I was going to "appear courtesy of" something...

I didn't really have an answer... but I was a 20-something starving artist, going through a long, drawn-out existential crisis/awakening... and I was wearing some awful pants, a plaid shirt and a pair of cheap sunglasses that I found on the studio wall, which had probably been tacked up there since the 80s... so it sorta popped into my head.

the thought process went something like this:
Fashion Disaster. yes, that is me, right now
Existential. yes, that is me
Existential Fashion Disaster: yes, that sounds clever and ironic, since someone existential would not even begin to care about fashion... and if I ever do write my own music, I could use it as a production company type name and easily abbreviate it.

hence, EFDisaster, became a username just about everywhere I went, online, since sometime in 2001 or 2002. Before that time, I think I used names based on the lyrics or song titles of some of my favorite bands... but I hardly remember any of them.
 
ICS is an acronym for Ice Cream Sandwhich which will be released for most Android Honeycob Tablets in the future :D
 
Lol ICS, I'm so envious. :3 I asked myself, "In real life, if someone was refering to me in a conversation but couldn't remember my name, what would they say? And the rest is history. :P Oh, and xP is because I like to use it in blogs quite often. :P
