ChristianDrew - Because I'm a Christian and my name is Drew. I wanted to do Captain Nemo but that was already taken. Peeps still remember this user-name :)

.: DREW :. - mostly to say .:Keri:. is my best friend and I think she is cool. So it was sort of an honor and respect for my friend.

penNpaper - Because I wanted to be creative with what I have an passion for writing and poetry.

Reason why I always do the "God Bless" tag line because it is just a thing I started doing like if I'm writing a short little note to peeps. Mostly my posts has been encouraging, positive, and uplifting :) so it just my thing that I do :)

GOD BLESS,
Drew

I haven't changed mine, I remember under Erwin, he had the customizer and it was the only way to change your name and it cost 15,000 blessings which to most people they were lucky to earn that posting in a years time so there were often people begging for blessings to change their name. People chose very wisely or just started new accounts to get the name they wanted instead of like it is now some people change every 6 months almost like it is a fashion statement.

I've had 4 usernames (been here about 2 1/2 years). I started out as SilverTheSprite which is my AOL email address and goes way back with me. I just couldn't think of anything more creative when I first came here. I quickly switched to AlleyCatPurrrrs which I kept quite a while. Then I went to Inkabink, and kept that one the longest of all (so far anyway!). Now I'm just .Vicky. :)

As for WHY I change...it's the same reason I'm constantly changing avatars and such. I'm such a multi-layered person, it's hard for me to ever feel like I've really represented and expressed myself. I have to keep 'saying' something different.

If you mean on this site, I've never changed it, nor will I. My sn is my pen name and I see no reason to use anything else. I've used MacFall for about 4 years. For 3 years before that, it was E. Lee MacFall. Before that I used, in reverse order cooresponding to my maturity level at the time, Karbon, Dreadbane, and Grasshoppah72. That's going all the way back to 1996.

I have changed it only one time.. I was using my real name when I signed up, got confused for a Christian author who shares that name... even though he was much older than I at the time (he Home forevermore - to the Lord - 3 years ago)... still not many people seem to know about that passing...and I got this current nick at a time that I was big into Balloon Twisting... just never felt a need to change it... but that's me...
