I chose Karikta cuz its basically what I am in the simplest form. I was in church one day and the preacher talked about how our lives were like a movie to God. He said that many of us would be nominated for an academy award but only a few would win. So I look at myself as a Karikta (or character) in a movie for God.

Seems like the name that I normally use was already taken. "Speedo" has been my callsign forever and is what I use practically everywhere.

Don't remember any particular reason that I chose Grunt, it just popped into mind. It's a term referring to infantrymen, mainly caught on in Vietnam.

Need I explain? :)

I chose "Jedi," of course, as a reference to those lightsaber swinging good guys sin Star Wars, but the name "Jedi" is also Hebrew in origin that means "beloved by God." Thus there's a double meaning.

There - a bit of Star Wars trivia you might not have known. ;)

Because it's fun to read. :)

did you know that in german you can make the longest words that actualy still make sense? like your nickname ;)

My little 7-year old cousin came up with "janshkin" one fine day pretty much out of the blue and because I don't have any other nicknames I've been "janshkin" ever since. I chose to use something real just because I can't find anything fictional that would fittingly describe me.

Mandrake has been my online handle for years now, and I'm trying to remember why......

Mandrakes are a type of plant with a root that is shaped like a person. I guess that must be part of it. Of course it's also a Linux distro I had a bit of experience with in 10th grade before I switched to Debian and then to Gentoo. That that might be it too. But I never really liked it, so I don't think that's it. They're reputed to be an aphrodisiac, so I maybe I was trying to seem extra virile.

I dunno, but Mandrake I am. I like it.

Eyesofmystery is also the name of my blog - eyesofmystery.blogspot.com

An ex-boyfriend who isn't a practicing Christian once told me that when he first met me he knew I was special. He said he could see it in my eyes that I wasn't like the other girls he knew, and I think part of it had to do with me being a devout Christian. We're not together anymore (long story), but that struck me. No one else had ever said that about me, so that inspired my blog and CF name!
