Just wondering where people get their usernames.
I got mine from playing Pearl. I named my Turtwig evergreenn- accidently added two "n"s.

When I was in about 4th grade (so over 7 years ago!) I for some reason came up with the name "Slix" and used it occasionally with friends at school and for things like games and whatever, but I liked it so much I kept it after all these years. :D

My Bro! I couldn't think of a username for another site, so he jokingly said "catdogmouse" and it kinda stuck...
...Wait, What?

In grade 6 I was sooo obsessed with this ninja show (Naruto) that I tried to act like a ninja when we played dodgeball at school. I did this crazy shot ( I threw the ball so hard and It looked like I missed, but the ball curved and hit my opponent). My classmate saw the shot and named me Ninjohn (Ninja + John).

Long story! Here it goes.
*deep breath*

Well, ya see, the first forum I ever joined was a very small Avatar: the Last Airbender based forum, and I was somehow forced into a role playing thread (they PM'd me and told me to be Katara, so I was like "Okay!"). The RP was a "Slumber Party" and really weird stuff happened all over the place like the fridge getting knocked over and break in's and stuff. Really lame (probably didn't help I was probably like 10 at the time).

After that I joined a different role playing site, a LotGD (Legend of the Green Dragon - there are many of them, all with different themes). It's a text-based RPG kinda like an interactive D&D where you level up and kill the dragon and chat with people while doing it. Fun stuff. This particular one was Eragon-based. Anyways, so I used the name Katara there since that was the first RP name I ever used, and even played her as the real Katara for awhile.

Then that site died and a new LotGD opened up, and I changed Katara from a waterbender to a Nephilim (half angel/half human). And I made up lore about Nephilim and stuff, and one of them was that an angel's real name is spelled backwards. I came up with that because my crazy "sister" on the site called me Aratak (Katara backwards). And it kinda stuck.

The story could get longer, but that's everything that led up to it at least! :P

So from then on, I've used Aratak for lots of things.

Cookie for you if you actually read all that!
