Haven't told this story in a while...

In my earlier internet days, I quickly discovered Yahoo! Messenger and immersed myself in the chat room system. Anyone could make a room and there were a TON of Pokémon chat rooms. For the most part, people role played in them. There were trainers and Pokémon and different styles of RPing and...it was just a ton of fun.

At some point, I had an account called lightning_the_baby_pichu. Pichu was, and still is, my favourite Pokémon and that was my favourite RPing account. Eventually, when I found Pokémon forums, I didn't think to use the name again and registered as chibipichu. That proved to be a bad idea since the name was so generic and clichéd so...naturally, it was taken almost everywhere else I tried to join. XD

Eventually, my account at that first forum was corrupted or deleted or something. I think it was hacked because I had to rejoin. Regardless, I signed up again with the username "Lightning," thinking back to those days on Y!IM. Sadly, this is even more generic than my last one, but for the most part it serves me well, and at larger sites when "Lightning" is taken, I slip into a variant like lightningchan or lightysama. It works pretty well and I've managed to make a decent name for myself, since most people know me, I suppose. Or they did, anyway. XD

Hmm...

Rolling Pichu: Inspired by a gif I once saw on a google search. It was so near to be Spanked Pichu instead, though. Oh well.
Careful With That Axe, Pichu: Heh, it's still a secret... And no, it's not a Pink Floyd song. Hehe.

Both reflect my affection for the pocket monster Pichu. Ah, Pichus are so underrated...

Careful With That Axe, Pichu, is probably the best username I've seen. XD It makes me laugh.

My old username was Blazed and so I decided to google my name and see if there were any avatars that suited my name. Yet I found out Blazed was slang for being "high". I instantly decided I needed a name change and didn't want to spend the next few days thinking of a good name. So I just looked around and thought what could be a good name... "Speakers" "Chair" "Fridge", then I looked in the fridge to discover my favourite drink "Lemonade" and that's the story of my username. :P

When I saw Abyssion from Tales of Symphonia, I was like, "Hey, that's a really cool name! I should use that instead of something stupid like Flygon250."

Well, not really, but it was kind of like that. XD I don't like Abyssion himself, BTW; just his name.

I started with Piplup and coudn't think of a good name so, ya. I wanted something with Huntail in it but I'm not really one of those creative name people. Unless you consider naming one of my friends puddin' from billy and mandy (cartoonnetwok)

Um...which one? My current one's just a "fancification" on my old one...but my old one,...well...it was kind of an abbreviation that I just liked the sound of (you can try to figure out what it was an abbreviation of ;)). I still use it in some places...

I've also got another username all set up *points at sig*, but what that is...well, that'll just have to wait ;).

Well, my original username was VFD, I took it from A Series Of Unfortunate Events xD then I changed it to Villianous Villager because my favorite ASOUE book is "The Vile Village" xD I wanted to change it for "Vile Villager" but I did a mistake xD

At Japanese class, we got a sheet of paper with some pictures of people on it. We had to build phrases about what they were doing or something.
One of the people on the pictures had a headache, that's when i got the idea of my username.

There was a really cool fighting game for the original Playstation called Battle Arena Toshinden (well... I thought it was cool, a lot of critics didn't agree). My favourite character was Duke, but I knew that I would never be able to get away with that alias anywhere online because there's a million people with/wanting that name, and I REFUSE to have a username anywhere online or in video games which have numbers, hyphens, or underscores... So I just took the last word in the name of the game, (i.e. Toshinden, cause it was still a cool name) and hoped that the fact that it wasn't a hugely popular game would allow me to secure this name in most other places that I went.

Turns out, it worked, so I usually use it on forums and online video games. Too bad the name doesn't fit for PKMN Diamond, so I had to shorten it to Toshi, which is fine, cause that's what most forum-goers and online friends call me anyway.

Stardust-Kumo... Wow, that's complicated. @[email protected]

Well, um. I like the thought of someone being able to crush a star, collect the dust, and carry it around in a satchel and show it's amazingly bright light and magical powers to ppl. XDDD

Lol. That made no sense. XDDD

Kumo means cloud, and since I watch naruto, I was thinking of Kumogakure from the Lightning Country.

Altogether, it's Stardust-Kumo! XDD
