Why did you pick that username???

I was making an account on another forum and I couldn't think of anything original and was getting bored so i just went with p0lygon-window an aphex twin alias. people always called me p0ly so i decided to change it.
 
EXCELLENT thread idea, can't believe there isn't one like it.

Mine's easy, on the day I signed up I felt like a particular slave to Oxycodone, hence the name :)
 
I whore under the name olivia, its my other name, so are shortenings and variations like ollie and libby. I didnt want to put my real name, so this works.
 
... as a teenager I would get bored and take large amounts of psychedelics alone, and would often prop a mirror on the floor that I would lay there staring into.

Panic In Paradise is a song by the Psy Trance producers X Dream. I imagine that they chose the title Panic In Paradise in reference to the 'panic button' on many analog synthesizers, which is there to shut off the synth in case the user loses control of the modulator.
 
in 2009 when I made my account, I enjoyed white powders of all sort so that is where the stardust part came from and hero is short for heroin which was another favorite of mine.
 
Ridiculous phrases are always popping into my head, and usually I forget them if I don't do something with them within a day or two. Touching stuff seemed like a hilarious name for a street to me at one point, but I jazzed it up a bit to fit in with blue light, a place full of white kids getting their kicks by typing gangster
 
The Roland TB 303 oscillating synthesiser was the key element involved in the music of the early 90s acid house/techno movement.
It was an iconic sound, adopted by the digital anarchists, the free party movement, the u.k rave scene,
and made up an integral part of the music of that time, the music being played at the parties which quickly became illegal with
the introduction of the criminal justice bill.
After the emergence of the Acid House parties in the late 1980s up to 4,000[2] people were known to attend a rave. These events happened almost every weekend. The noise and disturbance of thousands of people appearing at parties in rural locations, such as Genesis '88, caused outrage in the national media.
After sensational coverage in the tabloids, culminating in a particularly large rave (near Castlemorton) in May 1992, the government acted on what was depicted as a growing menace.
In 1994, the United Kingdom's Criminal Justice Bill passed as the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 which contained several sections designed to suppress the growing free party movement made everything political.
Now the music was about something more.
It was about freedom,
about community,
about anti-establishmental ideology,
and about opposition to the opressive attempts to control our music, our behaviour, our fun, our liberty.
Throughout this time I was DJing Acid Techno at these events,
including the infamous "reclaim the streets" in London 1994.
I have been Djing ever since, and it has been a source of great joy for me.
The 303 was where it all started, and i'm still completely addicted to that acid sound, even if my music has progressed into new areas.
 
I picked my name due to a lack of creativity. I have never been able to be creative when it comes to creating user names. I spent many years working in the Information Technology field and as many know, an "End User" is the person on the end of the Technology chain. They are the ones that ultimately use the products, so for many years I had created a username of "EndUser" however, being that this is such a widely used nickname, and usually already taken, I would add things to the end or beginning of that name. For this site, "EndUser" had already been taken and apparently had caused issues here are there was a block to that nickname, so I took a little from my life due to my medical issues which cause me to be in a lot of pain and due to that I came here looking for some insight on my pain medications I was taking. So with "EndUser" being already used, I chose "PainEndUser" so while it's not the most creative, it does fit me perfectly. Most people use a shortened version of my name and call me "Pain" which is fine for me. I just wish I had some more creativity and could come up with some cool creative and thought provoking names, but for now, I will just have to stick with "PainEndUser", perhaps due to the fact that I am very wordy and can never just reply with a simple short reply I should change my name to "ITalkToMuch" or "NeedSomeCreativity":)
 
Hehe, Pain, I always thought it was Pain Inducer but with an E :P This is why I love this thread, you get to understand people just a tiny bit better.

Loving this thread, keep 'em coming :D

LOL that's pretty funny :) Mainly because I am such the opposite of that picture of me!! I am a pussy cat, I would never try to induce pain for anyone including myself, I just always wind up being the one the pain has been induced on! :D And yes I know what you meant, I was just finding the humor in it as it is so opposite of me ;)

Haha I didn't really mean it like that, I've never seen you be anything other than helpful on here, it's just how I read the name :P
 
This might well be one of those 'What ARE you on about Sepher? Almost starting to regret asking the bloody question in the first place now!' type replies but hey, you did ask . . . . ;)

It's a shorter and easier to type variation of Sepher Sephiroth, which is 1) A username I first used on a website devoted to the late 19th / early 20th century Golden Dawn system of magic that offered a free course of study purportedly endorsed by some one or other of the any number of modern-day groups sporting some variant of the Golden Dawn name and claiming to be the true inheritors of the authentic G.D. 'magical current', whatever that's meant to mean, it being derived from 2) the title of the final dull as ditchwater section of a book on Kabbalah by Aleister Crowley, that section being concerned with the numeric values of a shedload of Hebrew words that might be of use to any aspiring magicians out there looking for hidden meanings and coded information in magical texts and sacred books like the Torah / Old Testment, the idea being that for any given word in Hebrew there are any number of other words whose letters add to the same number value and those words are connected in some profound and deep way even if they're seemingly completely unrelated in meaning. For instance, YHVH as God's true name adds up to 26, as do the two words AHBH ( love ) and AChD ( unity ), so the substitution by Gematria is deemed to reveal a couple of your Old Testament God's qualities. Like I said, dull as ditchwater, and hardly a great read! My username maybe made more sense when I had the Tree Of Life as an avatar, maybe not so much since I put the daft ferret head up.

It may sound silly, but "Missykins" was a childhood nickname.

Very ker-yoot LOL. At least you make up for it by also being "sassy" [yes, I usually read everything even when I'm too busy to post much] ;)

Nice one Biggs. A looooong time ago I was an England under-16 basketball international. Very briefly before my first injury unfortunately. I always look on the school & county basketball days that lead up to that with great fondness though :)

These two just sound so ruddy cool that it almost doesn't matter how they're derived.

I've read a fair amount of Kabbalah, the non-celebrity kind, and Esoteric texts. So... I reckon I more or less know what you're on about Sepher ;)

I've unfairly pulled a few names out of a fantastic list to comment on so as not to turn the post in to too much of an epistle but I do love all your usernames. This is a terrific thread :)


Quite dull really compared to some of your cool stories, but:

I'm an ethnobotanist. BSc Ecology, MSc Ethnobotany to be exact. I first used it to join sites that I didn't want some other people to know I frequented about an aeon ago when I was researching my masters thesis on the reproduction of Salvia divinorum (which, btw is in a symbiotic relationship with Mazatec shamans. They've been pollinating it by hand for so long that its chances of reproduction without human intervention are now <0.01% ). The first time I signed up I was in a hurry so to head of the unlikely possibility of another ethnobot I added the first three digits of an old phone number I had stuck in my head at the time. After that I used the same handle for more sites involving psychoactives so as not to tax my poor brain with remembering too many netnames. Including, eventually, Bluelight. The rest, as they say, is history... :\

Peace, ethnobot

P.S. Although at the time I shortened the word "ethnobotanist" to make it shorter to repeatedly type I think I may have shortened it precisely there 'cause I felt a little robotic at the time. I was having to crank out papers and assignments to short deadlines and while I can, I don't like it any ;)
