Another bloodsucker chiming in!
This is gonna be a long convoluted one, but so is my thinking! Haha! I was wondering if someone was going to start a thread like this...
I have a couple of other ID's that I use widely across the internets but I really wanted to choose something different here because I'm especially fearful for my anonymity about the JW thing. The vampire part of it popped into mind because it's the latest bit of slang describing someone who's an insomniac, someone who stays up late or all night. I was surprised that in all the ten years this forum has been around that no-one has dared to put "vampire" in their name, so I had to have it! It's also a metaphore about how folks treat me in real life. It seems to me that after getting to know me after a while, that most folks get sorta standoffish, as if they think I'm going to suck the life out of them. I'm not happy about that part. Also, some of my family tree roots reach into transylvania, or so I've heard.
The DCLXV part? It's a roman numeral = 665. It's part of an old email as well as an old gamer ID I used to use. When I was in school I randomly chose the gamer ID "*****t65". (You didn't seriously think I'd spill it, did you?) 65 became part of the name of one of my favorite bands too, Eiffel 65. Years later I wanted that "65" as part of my email address. Denied! The email service suggested "*****t665@*******.com" instead, so I went with that. (I'm not spilling that either! If you're so clever, you figure it out.) To me it's a metaphore about how some people think I'm completely evil, but how their assertions don't quite add up.
