Anyone that has joined MT since 10/16/03 (last post in this thread) care to divulge the source of their User Name? What does it mean to you? Why did you pick it?
I'm not exactly a shining example to revive this one, since mine is simply my last name..............................but maybe not for long.:supcool:
I chose the moniker "Swordlady" for my second email address (this is back in 1999), because of my fondness of sharp pointy objects (I collect swords and practice a JSA). Some of my friends started calling me "Swordlady" in their email correspondences to me, and occasionally in person.
"Swordlady" is now the most common Net alias I use in online fora.
K is the first letter of my first name; C is the first letter of my last name. I first chose K. C. (therefore Kacey) as a nickname when I was at girl scout camp about 30 years ago - because I had to come up with something quick, before people starting using my older sister's choice - Rabbit. She was quite outraged by the fact that I liked vegetables when I was 10.
As a kid, loived Hong Kong Phooey. For a year or so I was a lurker on MT and when I decided to join, I wanted something that would show a less serious side of me, but still show my interest in the MA's.
I enjoy training with sticks and working with Prof. Presas (Arnis) for many years has had a large impact on my training and on me personally. Stickarts is also one of our websites.
When I was young I always wanted to do, watched, copied, the arts. One of the family friends at the time (RIP), always started referring to me as chop chop. When I got older, It became just chop, so that became hand sword, for the screen name.
"Betty" says it once or twice in the movie Kung Pow...and it's friggin' hilarious...plus I like to rip things. Like phone books and decks of cards...and glass:jedi1: .
crushing is the first initial of my first name and my last name mashed together. I think it makes for a good username, especially on a martial arts forum. ;-)
