    I'm interested in knowing why you guys chose your usernames...

    Here's the story behind mine, you'd think I'm a TOF but that's not the case. My first basketball shoes were the T-Mac 1's. Those were my favorite shoes for a while and they lasted a good 4 years.

    Why did you pick your current username?

    When I was registering for CF.net, my tv apparently was on nick-at-nite and the credits from Happy Days were rolling... I saw "Donny Most" and I was like, hey, that's a cool sounding name.

    Actually I don't. Care to enlighten.

    ScriboErgoSum (Latin for I write therefore I am) is the name of the publishing company I started to print my first novel, The Ghost Hunters. I pretty much use that as my handle for all the boards and online gaming.

    Xero was the name of the first character I created for City of Heroes on their pre-beta forums. Bull was what my friends called me at the time. I started using it for email, gaming, IMing, etc, because it is never taken.

    Registering to play jeopardy online one night at a friends house, every username we put in was taken. His nickname was juicy, and mine was stream. I said put them together, and that is how juicystream came to be. What I would do to change it.

    I'm the professor of interpretive dance at the local community college.

    My first major show I choreographed was a coming of age story, expressed by the wondrous flight of the blue jay. We also used music by the O'Jays as accompaniment.
