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.
I'm probably going to try Ubuntu once I can get my trial version of PartitionMagic running well. I'm brand spanking new to Linux though.

I am actually a flightless bird who enjoys sticking his head in the sand. When my head is not in the sand, I am tireless in my seeking out of some infidel to crusade against.



(actually it was the winning team name that i led at camp a few years back...)

I've chosen Starlight because I sort of like stars and that kind of things ^_^ When I can't register somewhere as Starlight because it's already taken, I think of something else, such as, for example, Miracle or Rainbow Crystal ^_^ I like these screen names, because they sound somewhat... I don't know how to explain it... mystical?

i used to always go by the name iargue2... but then one night the Lord brought me to a stand still... i was going through so much... and i just went to my bedroom to turn on some music to calm me down... and my best friend's family had bought me a cd for christmas... i popped it in and the song that came on was walk on water by audio adrenaline... the Lord spoke through it to me pretty much telling me to have faith (this was the first time i had ever really felt God leading me ) and I broke down... ever since then... i've made it a thing of mine... that i'm gonna have that faith talked about in that song... also... something to think about... everyone talks about how Peter lost his faith and that's why he started to sink... but i look at it completely different... he still had faith that if he called out to Jesus... Jesus would save him... and no matter if i have faith in myself or not... all i need is faith in Jesus... and if I have that... knowing that Jesus is within me... it'll replenish the faith i need for myself

When I joined a year or two ago I was a huge LotR nerd. I still am, but not quite as much. Anyway, Nienor (knee-en-or) is in the Silmarillion. Her name means Mourning in Sindarian. I liked the name, and I like her brother Turin a lot. So I went with it. Besides, it's not a very common user name :)

When I was about 13, I was thinking of a memory aid to help people pronounce my last name (Neve). So I looked down at my knee, made a "V" with my two fingers (like a peace sign), and came up with my little routine: hold up my knee with my V next to it (Knee-V). People have a tendency to remember it better that way.

Mine's Quenya (elfish :))...and I originally created it for a LoTR fan forum....cause nearlly everybody there was able to understand the meaning :)

it consists of 2 words: ainu = God and -hina = suffix meaning child/ daughter....

everyone being able to translate that would have found out I'm a christian....and I just used it on here so that everyone can find out I'm a big Tolkien fan :D
