Onto the real topic of the thread...a perididdle is a technique of drumming, or, uh, however you would say that. Something about how you actually drum the snare...anyway, I'm a flute in the Jr. High band. My band instructor always yelled at the percussion, and it almost always included, "Per-i-didd-le!" He was one of my favorite teachers, and since he left this year, I chose to name a story character's ferret after his percussion rants. Ever since I use it as a login name and here, a username...though I always want to change right after I've signed up.

well Raven was my CB handle for years (hair used to be very dark...lol) plus I have an elf named that in D&D and the myth part comes from a shortened version of my hubby's and mine's favorite city to start our D&D adventures from... Mythyca....hence Ravenmyth. I am Ravenmyth something everywhere I go online.

Mine's simple ^_^. They're my initials. I would go by my first name, but since I sign my artwork with just my initials (hate to sign my name since I'm not good at replicating anything), I'm sure people will only know me by what I sign.

Wow...I guess mine's not that exciting...I just love how our BDH used Shiny all the time in the series, and the 4004 is just because unlike things like 2004 or various numbers, most people don't go as far as 4004 so if you put that by your name, it's almost a guarantee that you'll get the one you want. But now that I've released that information, I'll naturally have to kill you all lol jk.

About 10 years ago I awoke from a dream and said this name out loud. I always said that when I had children that I would name one that. I have looked for the meaning for years and never found anything; but the other day I googled it for the millionth time and it came up, but with a different speeling. It was the name of the Jewish priest responsible for crucifying Jesus. I have no idea why it can to me (i have no religious back ground) or why I felt compelled to use it but now that I know the meaning all I can do is hope that I am not offending anyone.

My name comes from the title attached to the late-great-vaudevillian magician Thomas Nelson Downs, who was called such because of his talent with those little metal discs (his Miser's Dream in particular). I use the name because I was formerly a magician who specialized in coins. I haven't done so for a few years, as I lost the creative energy, but I decided to keep the name because I still like it.

And yes, Downs spelled it with a K.
