Xithor

Was originally Ithorian or Ithor (hammerhead alien from Star Wars cantina scene), but had to keep puting an 'x' in front of it to avoid being Ithor23587621588. It just kind of stuck form there

I've gone with the same screenname since my first aim conversation (six years ago), faeryjulia. Faery is my way of spelling fairy/faerie, and I do love faeries. But when I signed up for this board, I was getting really sick of that name and decided it was time for a change. I almost went for "Serenity", but I figured that was taken, so I just translated it to Chinese. (Or rather, fireflychinese.home.att.net did.) Granted, if you pronounce it with the wrong tones, you're probably saying something completely different...


Julia

Mal: "Petty?"
Inara: "I didn't mean petty."
Mal: "What did you mean?"
Inara: "Suo-shee?"
Mal: "That's Chinese for petty."

My name isn't near as intersting as some others that I've read. It's simply a play on a nickname I had since I was a teen. (Not to date myself!) It has to do with my pre-married initials...L and Wood. Since the Blues Brothers had been out, a friend started calling me Elwood. He still does today, 20 years later. (Now I really dated myself!)

Well, my full screen name was made up for me by one of my friends, based on different aspects of me, which I then shortened after I got bored of typing the full thing, but here goes:

Silver- as I'm a Cancer sign, it represents water and the moon for me.

Cross- a nod to my Celtic heritage, the celtic cross is a hugely recognised design.

(of the)

Huntress- my first ever original character from a really bad story I wrote when I was about 12. The story is long dead, but I always has a soft spot for Huntress!

hence Silver Cross of the Huntress, now shortened to silverCross!

Jayne: "Pain is scary" (serenity)

Actually, Teela, I don't think I ever have... could you tell us again?



Well, it all started...

Okay, I like Niven's Ringworld, and Teela Brown was my favorite character. So I use it a lot now.

To Okkay-- Animaniacs is one of my favorite shows! And they took it off the air...Man, all of my favorite shows, except for two, are off the air. Ugh.

And to Mistress of Useless Knwledge--That's one of my Unofficial Titles.

I'm a big fan of the Cardassians in Trek. My fanfic pseudonym is Cardie-ologist, meaning a person who studies "Cardies," but also a pun on "cardiologist" (heart specialist) because I write about their emotional lives.

I got tired of using the whole thing as my screen name and shortened it to Cardie.

Of course! "All the world seems in tune on a spring afternoon when we're poisoning pigeons in the park..."

my handle is fairly old, and comes from the fact that when I was a student I was working on sound processing routines, hence the first part of the name. the latter is because at my school "hack" meant to do something cool (not the traditional negative meaning of today)

not too exciting, i know, but you asked :)
