I started running out of ideas for user names, so whenever it's available, I just use my first name, which is pronounced Lewis -- I kind of hate Louie :).
<-- Pronounced it properly from day one, I get one bonus point :)

Louis = more commonly used as a 1st name
Lewis = more commonly used for last name
But, both pronounced the same. At least that's been my observation.
mamba was a nickname in primary school, it came about as we were having sports day and since i was the biggest of the kids i was not the fastest :P. so someone called me mamba (after the snake which is small an fast. there had been a show on tv about them at the time, thats how i think they new the name at that age :P)my other 2 choices could have been spike or sonic as my hair used to grow straight upright naturally and nothing could keep it down.

But you forget our friend Louis is located in Canada where they have the au francais pronounciation influence.
Oh my....papagei...long story.
Back in the Stone Age of the Internet, I did a ton of free websites at Geocities. When I had to choose a username I went with a german word for parrot - hence, papagei. Everything english seemed to be taken and I just decided to stick with it all these years :)
heh heh - I grew up on this stuff at home. We spoke German at home....add that to my papagei post LOL

"Faust" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, General plot (source: wikipedia):
The story concerns the fate of a learned scholar named Faust, who in his quest for the true essence of life ("was die Welt im Innersten zusammenhaelt"), summons the Devil (represented by Mephistopheles, often also referred to as Mephisto), who offers to serve him as long as Faust lives. Mephistopheles may receive Faust's soul, but only when Faust has attained the zenith of human happiness. In the second Part of the Faust tragedy (Faust 2), Faust really does have the pleasure to experience the latter, however, Mephisto, trying to grab Faust's soul when the protagonist dies, is burnt down by the empowering force of love. Faust deserves to go to heaven, because of his unquenchable thirst for knowledge and understanding ("man must strive and err") that exceeds the limits set for human beings.
to make it short, i featured the character Mephistopheles in a theater play (the whole first part of the tragedy btw), we had to perform in the last year of school.
I was the bastard son of Mick Jagger and Luciana Gimenez. Dad's real name is Michael, and so is mine, but "Mick" was good enough for him, so I guess it's good enough for me too.
well I am a Miss and my first name is Crystal soooooo that's pretty much the whole way i came up with my name... a lot of ppl call me Miss Crystal when talking to me, so it stuck..
One of my hobbies is blacksmithing and knifemaking. I was trying to explain the concept of the Neo-Tribal Metalsmiths to a friend of mine and she just couldn't remember it ... so she coined the term Mustardheads for us ...well she is from Missouri.
Mine arises from my surname (Busby) and the fact that my long hair* tended to look like an exploding cat as soon as you put a brush or comb near it. One evening a friend decided she'd have a go at brushing my hair "just to see if it really looked that bad afterwards". When another friend saw it, he collapsed with laughter and started yelling "fuzzy buzzy" over and over. It kinda stuck, then got shortened to Buzzy.
CANDLERAIN = Decades ago, when I first got a computer, I was trying to signup to MSN and everything was taken! So I made up a word with 2 other words that I liked. It stuck ever since. Now, that name is all over the internet. Copycats!!!
I used to be a candle-freak. I had them all over my house. I just loved the mood. Cheap on electricity too!
Rain... I love rain... It must be my melodramatic personality. One of my fav quotes is from the movie 'The Crow': "It can't rain all the time..." No matter how hard things can be at the moment, at some point it will end...
well, I'm most definately jaded and I used to be youthful(started usign this name at about 14 I think). the name has stuck though so I'll probably still be jaded_youth when I'm 80.
Mine comes from a card trading game called magic, there was a card in one of the series called the lightning dragon, I devloped one on the computer called the thunder dragon and used the nickname of thndrdrag as the summoning name of this dragon. All my friends started calling me this, and I guess it just stuck.
