Do not feel compelled to reveal if it is your true name or not.

I'll start. I chose "Intrepid" because it is Voyager's class, and I love Voyager (go to my blog http://www.voyagerprincess.blogspot.com if you want to know why).
I chose "Princess" because that is what my real name translates to in Hebrew.

Now, did you already know that or look it up?

If your actually curious Princess, I looked up Mark. It's Latin, derived from Mars (the God of War). It's supposed to mean either "brave" or "warlike" (depending on whose doing the translation I guess).
They say that in the Army,
the women are mighty fine.
They look like Phyllis Diller,
and walk like Frankenstein.

That is seriously twisted.

My father-in-law tells me that it's also a euphemism for the devil in some Charles Dickens book? Never heard that one though :)

Ya know, I need to check if that things even still in business. That's where I met LH. Ya know, I've known him almost as long as I've known my wife.

It was. First thing I ever wrote was for it. Each iteration got progressively shittier though. Thankfully they let the Tenchi in Tokyo and Tenchi Universe continuities die and just kept with the OVA one. Mihoshi > all other anime girls.

Tyyr, is just a variation on one of two names I've been using for freaking ever. Got the idea for it back when I played NWN for the first time.

Why does your avatar always look constipated? :)

The same reason yours looks like he's about to rip one.

Sadly no, the site has been "under construction" since Feb 2008. Seems like a dead site to me.

Well, I learned something new today.
Tsukiyumi wrote:It was. First thing I ever wrote was for it. Each iteration got progressively shittier though.
If that ain't God's own truth. I never did understand why the creators felt the need to keep reinventing the universe, and make it dumber each time they did.
Thankfully they let the Tenchi in Tokyo and Tenchi Universe continuities die and just kept with the OVA one.
Too bad they could bring it back up to the standards of the original when they did finally get around to wrapping things up.
Mihoshi > all other anime girls.
You know I have to disagree with you on that.

It's interesting, you've had a few different names, but always the same avatar. I've had the same name, but a whole slew of different avatars.

I haven't read all of (any 8) ) Dickenses books. ;)
