Re: What's the story behind your Username? V2
I suppose I'll be social and discuss the story behind my username. It's actually a long story, ironically enough.
Back when I was younger and started to get into forums, the first forum I ever registered for was the GameWinners forums (GameWinners was a gaming site, primarily had cheats and whatnot). Back then, the first username I ever used was "FFire". During my time on the forums (which was... about a year or so I suppose), that name actually evolved, especially as I started learning how to do ASCII art (the art of mixing together letters, numbers, and symbols to create a picture, for those who don't know). At the time, the GameWinners forums were freely providing name changes for those who requested them, and because of this I changed my name a lot, primarily because of the fact that I was doing ASCII art and whatnot. (FYI, about the ASCII art, I still can do ASCII art but only simple ones, primarily letters.) I believe the names I requested were "FFire" to "Goldfire", and "Goldfire" to "Silverfire". The more "special" part of this story is that one point, I eventually came across a GameWinners forum user by the name of "I Am Always Right". At that time, being the kid I was back then, I decided to be silly and have my name changed to "I Am Always Wrong", and that name, as ironic as the name's creation was, stuck to me. (Looking back, I think it's because I don't consider myself special, and that I feel like I do everything wrong in some shape or form, including life. A bit emo, but at least I don't go about bugging people about it, well, like an actual emo person.) Abbreviated, it's obvious to tell that "I Am Always Wrong", when abbreviated, is "IAAW", hence the name I have been using for the longest of times, and has stuck to me like glue. Even when I try to make new usernames, IAAW simply sticks. I guess you can say that usernames, in a way, can be truly personalized, especially since I have almost never encountered a case where my current username was taken, except for when registering for Steam (so I could play with pretty much the only friends in the world I actually have). I guess that's my username story. Nowadays I consider my username "imaginative". Why? Because IAAW can mean anything, not just "I Am Always Wrong". For example, it can mean "I Am A Walrus", and can also mean more... explicit meanings like "I Am Ass Wipe". Truly imaginative indeed. |
