so many classic lines.

Mine's a little obvious. I have a cat, and he's mental.

He eats my hair, wakes me up at 6am EVERY morning...runs for no reason and just stops to lick a paw, "runs" on the door - not to be let in the other room, he just wants the door open (running each paw down the door, kinda like a vertical treadmill). And if there's ANYTHING on a table or counter that isn't supposed to be there - especially nail polish or stuff from the bathroom - he HAS to push it off onto the floor.

He likes to attack people when you're walking by his hiding place behind the chair and attach to their legs. The other day he ran up to the tv, jumped up and touched it and did a no-hands cartwheel (best way to explain that flip). For NO REASON.

I'm not sure. I'm gonna watch that one again. God, I own that damn movie and I didn't even catch that!

Quick Nickname Fact: Mark Renton (aka Rents aka Rent Boy) at one point in his career as a student attended the University of Aberdeen (pg. 182, Trainspotting, Welsh). This is the same University that I will be attending this fall. Coincidence? I don't think so. (Of course, he hated it, but I'll just ignore this little detail for now.)

Mine's uhh...my name.

I'm such a tool.

And Wesley, sorry, but I've been hooked on rugby ever since I saw my cousin break some other chick's ankle during a game. I would play in college too, except for some reason I keep breaking bones (3 in the last year) so it's prolly not too good an idea. You want to talk about dumb sports? Let's talk about soccer...

jane, you're not a tool. i like it. unlike some of the rest of us, it doesn't automatically correspond to some sort of pop-culture, easily identifiable idea or character. not that that's necessarily a bad thing either, but think of it as you being an individual.

rents...ah'm halfwey throo Trainspotting the now...s easier then it wis but no much. S a radge dialect s written in, ken?

I'm reading Filth. God, I love saying that.

My name came about thanks to a purple sheet, a rusty banjo and 3 am (a powerful combination, you must admit). I was sitting cross-legged with the sheet draped around my shoulders (as you do) and playing the banjo, which sounded oddly like a sitar. This led to someone calling me 'Mother Shabubu'. Somewhat later, I rearranged the sheet so it looked more like a poncho and the name got changed to 'Juan Shabubu', at which point I jumped up proclaiming 'I am the chosen Juan!'. I thought it was mildly clever so I stuck with it.

A story that long should be more interesting but, um, it isn't. Sorry.

You start a thread then don't ocme back to it for a while and look what happens. It gets hi-jacked, set back on track, i am proclaimed to be a frog void of emotions and then rugby becomes debated over.

I was once told i looked like a frog. Visualise that. Do you want to know where my Name Comes From?

Rip_Purr_Edit_Encircle

It was a Yahoo handle/email address. It was basically one of my very first. I've had it for four years now. It came about due to two reasons. I wanted something original and never taken. So i randomly pur together four words. Everywhere i went, these four words were never used as a nickname. I discovered it cimbersome to have to type so many words, however, si i shortened it to Rip_Purr. Again, it was never used, so everywhere i go no is Rip_Purr. Look for me in any chat or furom and you'll find me under this name. Complete and utter randominity. The underscore is there because i never could tell if spacing was used in what ever forum i signed up to, so i just stuck the _ in there to be safe. I came up with meanings based on my sub-conscious for Rip Purr Edit Encircle but i'll be blown backwards if i can remember them now (or be bothered remembering them). Stay tuned for a thread querying your Avatar.

pan-a name that pops up in many cultures mythos. in greek, i believe this was mentioned in house of leaves, it was a cloven hooved deity who was fond of music and was known to cause trouble. His name is short for panic.

XChuck was already taken...

lol

and you have the perfect avatar for the name and everything. That sucks!

I chose mine because it wouldn't let me have 'I'm with stupid'. Plus, I used to get told that I looked like Snow White..now I get told I look like Christina Ricci. How does that work?

I also wanted FREE WINONA!

I've been told I look like...

Oh wait!

I am Will Tupper!

(SnowWhite is probably familiar with it too)

In high school folks used to call me GI 'cuz I wore my grandfather battle jacket all the time.

In college people called me Sebastian 'cuz that was the name I would have chosen had I become a Jusuit. Still, other people called me Squire because I dressed well. Mostly, people stayed the heck away from me because they thought I was schizophrenic (after all people did know me by other names).

In my professional life I have been called Fast (first name here), Senator, Counselor, Cochrane and other less polite things.

These days people call me "fuck up."
