What does your username mean?
 

I'm always intrigued by usernames on forums and the stories behind them. So tell us about your username and why you chose it, what the meaning behind it is, etc.

I chose "Waldo" here as a nod to my evolution.

I travel a lot and regularly get emails and texts from friends asking "Where are you?" so with a nod to the Where's Waldo books I settled on Waldo.

Your turn.

In my last relationship, my boi called me Miss Sabra. I wanted a new user name for another site and was trying to think of something catchy....

So I just altered the Miss to Mizz (cause Miss just doesn't suit me) and Sabra is actually my real name. It's so unusual that I thought I didn't need to have another name.

:rubberducky:

Waldo, I will think of you as DIAB for a while, I'm sure, but I love Waldo and the reason for it.

When I came up with evolveme, I was high into "conscious evolution," the theory that we are, for the most part, as physically evolved as we are going to get (a theory I no longer necessarily hold), being that more and more people are being born without wisdom teeth, and well, some other things I could bore you with, but won't. Anyway, this theory is that where the evolution for homo sapiens is now really taking place is the brain/mind.

And that if we want to harness our evolutionary potential, we will participate in it by becoming more and more aware, more conscious, so to speak. We will utilize more of our brain capacity and choose to be alive in it.

Anyway, I was on this big kick, right? I mean, like a HUGE kick. I was basically a Ken Wilber fanatic. I've since moved on a little. I hit an existential crisis, you might say, but anyway, "evolve me" is kind of a call, a request. It says, do something for my mind. Challenge me. Help me grow.

Give me something interesting to think about.

(I don't know how/why anyone ever confused it with my saying that I *am* evolved. That seems pretty fucking ridiculous to me, but folks sometimes have. I must be a big inflated meanie, I reckon. Grrr.)

Indeed you do.

I must admit.... it is unusual.

I don't know that we'd ever talked about that before, but I absolutely got it. You love a good mind more than almost anyone else I know.

I was DIAB for over a decade. It's followed me from site to site to site. It's kind of sad to put it behind me, but I think it was time. Necessary in many ways and for many reasons.

So my name is from Tolkien and is because I fell in with a bad crowd in high school.

Okay, so they weren't bad...they were just a bunch of Star Trek geeks gone down a hobbit trail. The guy I dated was called Strider. I'm dark haired and fair-skinned. Therefore I got tagged with Arwen.

So this is actually the name I go by and have in all aspects of my life except business for many years.

I can always tell when someone doesn't know me.

They call me Stephanie.:tarot:

Shush. You keep telling that story about me waving and people will start thinking I'm friendly.

There was only one finger involved in the waving.


Is that better?

My name just means what it says, I am not an average guy, by any means!!!!

I try to keep it simple and simply stated!!!!

My Username
 

When I was in my early 40's (hence, 41) I started visiting online websites and communities that required me to have a screen name or username. Since, at the time, I was working in the refining industry (hence, Oiler) I added a touch of my profession and my age together to get my username. Since the Oilers were still an NFL team in Houston then, most folks just thought I was a big fan of theirs. Not. So there you have it; nothing too spectacular, lol.

Nope,,I'm a Saints fan,,among a few other teams. I was a fan all the way back before the days of the unknown Saints fan, lol. Never did much care for the Oilers,,and I guess Houston didn't either since they left!
