What's in a screen/user name? Tell us how you found yours.

I'm back! I've quite a few posts in the works. Let's start off with a QotD.

How did Cybette come about? Back in 1994, my first year in college... (did I just give away my age? oh what the heck)... I discovered IRC. At first I rotated among a few nickname like Cyborg and Zildjian... but people would assume I'm a guy, plus they are not unique enough and caused frequent "nick collisions". Then I met a guy online and we started dating (but that's another story...). Anyway his nickname was Cyberbabe, and I switched to using Cyberbabette. However it was kinda long and some servers didn't like that, so I trimmed its midsection and ended up with Cybette. Been using it ever since!

interesting you should start a meme on this lol

I'm such a bad motherfucker (excuse my French, but Pulp Fiction is one of my favorite movies I grew up on) that when I die and end up in hell (I'm an Atheist, but there was a time when I did believe in hell) I'll be kicked out.

Hence I'm the Devils Rejection

@Zotta - hail, class of 94! ;)

@Mark - hehe, you can say so :P

@thenokiablog - well, Voxers can just respond to QotD, but yeah, maybe I can start one for non-voxers? anyone's screen name begs to be explained?

@stefan - and I'm the fallen angel that kicks your ass into oblivion!
