    I gave my intro and then disappeared for a month. Just not enough time these days.

    Anyway . . .

    Some of your names are self-explanatory, but some definitely have to be explained to be understood.

    I'll start. My mother, 2nd gen jw, had always wanted to have a daughter named Penelope Candace, and call her Penny Candy. Thank goodness my siblings and I ended up with pretty normal names anyway. As I am obviously not the saintly organizationally-minded daughter she hoped I would be, my username is sort of a tribute to the daughter she didn't have.

    catchthis

    I was watching The Scorpion King at the time. In the part with The Rock shooting an arrow at the bad guy who could supposedly catch arrows, The Rock says, "Catch this," and fires away.

    As far as what it means, any ol' dictionary will do.

    My name means that I never, ever sleep. It feels that way, at any rate.

    I think "pennycandy" is an adorable name.

  • czarofmischief
    czarofmischief

    My friend once requested a list of activities to perform while his mother was away. My suggestions resulted in me being crowned King of Mischief and Revelries. For a long time, my handle was kingofmischief. But I was overwhelmed with spam so I moved East and set up a new Empire - and crowned myself czarofmischief. I also married the czarina (technically a princess, but hey, she gets what she wants.)

    Mine is pretty self-explanitory Chevy (chevrolets) N (and) Tats (tattoos), you know because I'm not shallow at all. :)

    Actually it's my screen name for everything online, that way I dont get confused :) perhaps I should think about changing it to

    "easily-confused-by-multiple-screen-names"

    gitasatsangha

    gitasatsangha is Tibettan for "Mr President, I got to pee". Ok. Its not. i got this name during a time I was tutledged under a vedantist guru. Its sanskrit, and means Song-True-spiritualcommuniy.. sanskrit doesnt translate into english all that well, really. Anyway, it's an annoying screenname, because its hard to type out, and looks wierd , and I would love to change it, but whats done is done. As a side note, its also a funny play of sorts on "Bible Study".
