I didn`t choose mine; it chose me

My cat, Teasel. Before I got the monitor I have now (a 2004 Christmas gift), she would insist on sleeping on top of the one I had, holding on tight to it with her claws locked onto the ridges, when I tried to move her. So, when I needed a username and a name for my old earthlink email address, I used her name.

She died unexpectedly, in August, so it feels weird using it now. I thought about changing it, but she was my Teasel baby, so I couldn't let it go.

So sorry to hear that she passed away, but in a way, having the name is a sort of way of honoring her memory.



I posted a picture of her on my facebook wall last year, just because I liked it (I'd just taken it when she was on my lap, in the garden), and people responded with, "Teasel!!" The cat behind the name that they knew me by.

Well my middle name is Joan and I choose Natively because I'm a cultural and global person and everything that's indigenous, native or authentic fascinates and intrigues me. I grew up in South Africa and America and I identify greatly with ancient cultures.

Lei in Hawaiian culture is a hand-made garland that are offered to each other, and to their gods as a symbol of love and friendship.

The Kuei-Jin are the vampires of Kindred of the East. The term is a portmanteau word consisting of the Mandarin word for ghost (kuei) and the Japanese word for person (jin).

Nicki is my nick name and G is the first letter of my last name...plus, i didnt want to use my usual "orochinicki" because i felt it was so over used....and i couldnt think of anything more clever at the time...but now i have and i dont feel like registering all over just to use it

------------------
I once saw a sign that said "sin is death" but if "all deaths are suicide (linda goodman)" and suicide is sin, then shouldnt "death is sin" be more appropriate?

I needed a name and it was something my Granny used to call me (actually it was "Pix" but sometimes "Pixie" or "Pixie Jane" instead of my "Becky Jane").

Ask Me anything. Anything. I will contrive to bring you the answer. The whole universe will I use to do this. So be on the lookout. This book is far from My only tool. You may ask a question, then put this book down. But watch. Listen. The words to the next song you hear. The information in the next article you read. The story line of the next movie you watch. The chance utterance of the next person you meet. Or the whisper of the next river, the next ocean, the next breeze that caresses your ear—all these devices are Mine; all these avenues are open to Me. I will speak to you if you will listen. I will come to you if you will invite Me. I will show you then that I have always been there. All ways.

I have no idea. It doesn't fit me at all. I think it's my 4th username. I was just trying to avoid stalkers.

Initially wanted just my name, Charmaine, but when I registered it wouldn't take my name so I added the first letter of my last name at the end.

lol, mine is obvious, right?
I wanted to be anonymous...
Ever seen Shakespeare in Love with Paltrow? When her governess asked Viola (Paltrow) who's in her window (Shakespeare was courting her under her window), Viola says "Anon, dear nurse, Anon!"
Well, that's me, Anon!
