Mine

is a VERY short version of a childhood nickname, and perhaps the numbers have something to do with my birthday (even though I'm only 21 :roflmao::roflmao: )
 
You could very well be the same age as my dad's sister. she was born october 20, 1964. he was november 20, 1966
 
Hmmmm

maybe we're 19 days apart then.............:roflmao: :roflmao:
 
I don't have E but my son has, so I'm participating on the forum as a mom.
We live in the Netherlands, so Dutch explains my bad English.
 
Lolol

Oh, DM.

I personally think your English is really pretty good. :):bigsmile:
 
LOL I rememberd while I was at Epilepsy.com that most people thought I was a moderator and that I was 11 years old because it used to be CM11 LOL!
Its now Crystal11 of course and I chose than screen name because my name is Crystal and I see the number 11 just about everywhere in almost any situation. Its like an "awareness" number for me. I notice it on the news, on license plates me Mom used to call out, in my addresses and phone numbers, ID numbers, school addressed everything, litterally every day and sometimes it drives me crazy and I say: "Couldn't it be 9 or 12, anything but 11?"
My guide dog's tatoo number is 8uu03 (the 8+3=11) and I got him in New York at Guiding Eyes for the Blind 611 Granite Springs Rd.
I went to the Texas School for the Blind at 1100 W 45th. 1+1+4+5=11.
My college was at 1100 (forgot the street name)
I was 11 when I lived in a house at 2162 (2+1+6+2=11)
There is a store called Switched On which is a synthesizer and music store that just opened up. Their address is 1111 E 11th street and their hours are from 9-11. (9+11=11)
All of these are things I can't change, they just are. I actually have a file called 11 in my Braille Lite/note taking machine- and every time I heard an 11, I write it down. Boy that file is long now!
Just the other day, me and rachel were watching tv and even she got annoyed with the 11's.
"Modern Marvels" show "The number 7 iron plant in the U.S. produces 11 tons of iron each day. A drill is used to create a trench for the iron to flow through that is 11ft deep."
Just that quote there has 11 in it! 7 (from the plant number) 11 (tons) and another 11 (11ft)..
Anyway- so that is why I have the number 11 on my screen name, I'm not 11 years old and I'm not a chat moderator LOL hehehehe

On Epilepsy.com, I would go into the chat room and half the people in there would have numbers after their names and most of the times it has a double digit like 33 or 88. Those are "Factors" of 11 meaning 11 was multiplied by another number.
Oh god.. I could go on all day long! I feel like an 11 freak! LOL hehehehe

OH.. I was supposed to be born July 11th but am a twin and was born 3 months early.

I hope everyone is well,
Take care
Crystal and her guide Umbro

I think I've explained mine before, its a standing joke with a friend who is also my Boss. Her sense of humor is as warped and twisted as mine :noevil: (Thank goodness for that! Especial since I threw up on her after my seizure last week:paperbag:)

Hi All,

The reason for my nickname is because I love chocolate (yes, a chocohalic) - and am female and not married - hence the Miss. (I hate Ms - hate how it sounds and how it looks - and one of my pet peeves is when I get post/mail addressed to me with Ms on it! Urgh!!! Urgh!!! Urgh!!!)

Susan

Miss Choccy

Aicila is Alicia spelled backwards. Alicia is my middle name. I started using Aicila a long time ago because I used to play online rpg's and it was my characters name, which in the game always got abbr as Ace. All of my emails have 1949 attached somehow to Aicila and that number is from my first man # (a way to control who has what tools) from my first base in NC. I didn't use numbers here because I didn't have to (no one had my name, which suprisingly happens a lot). I also like to use D1V3R because I am a diver (well used to be, before E) but I chose Ace for here.
 
Pretty straight forward - I am a fan of THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY sports teams. They are called BUCKEYES for those not familiar with the US states or sports. Ohio is just south of the great lakes in the middle to eastern part of the US.

OSU is one of the largest universities in the US at about 50,000 students including students from every continent in the world.

Funny thing is I got both of my degrees from Wright State University also in Ohio, but with much less of a sports program.

:scholar:



Hey Michigan fans ... :pfft:
 
I chose my name because I had only had seizures (T/C) when I was asleep, so usually at night...(Maybe a catnap at work once...) Unfortunately, a few days ago, I had one that started when I was wide awake, so the name isn't as valid anymore. :( At least I learned kind of what an aura feels like...
 
jesusisonthefountain

The first time I really remember knowing something was not quite right was when I called a friend of mine and told her that on my fountain I could see the face of Jesus (big clue that something might have been wrong with me). During that time I started looking for meaning in everything I did and everything others said (please understand I was never like this prior to my episode at the doctors office that was thought to be a seizure by the medical professionals). So, jesusisonthefountain seemed to be the best name for me. Im fine now but am very aware that I fell throught the cracks with my family and friends during that time. I also know now that the constant rising feeling in my stomache rushing in my head and feelings may be connected to seizures (I am not a doctor so I would never say for sure what I experienced was a seizure). So, in a nutshell thats how I got my name.
