LIL8T: My Dad gave me the handle when I was a young teen using his CB radio. I have been using it ever since. If you can't figure it out it means "little lady"

my original prof is Dakonella.. I wanted a name to end in "A" so I thought of Dakota.. then because my real name starts with a "K" and my mother calls me by my nickname, sounds identical to "Nikita" which used to be my nickname, but with a different consonant at the beginning and in the middle, "N" reminding me of "Nikita", and "Ella" from "Belle" from Beauty & the Beast, so turning it into "Bella".. so in turn making it to be>> DAKONELLA

FabulousKisser because I am.. LOL!!! and the rest of my 125 profiles on POF describing my different ideas, thoughts of the day, portraits, views.. etc..

I've had this name as my email adress for....7 years now. I was a HUGE X files fan, making me an X-phile, or more accurately and xgurl. 213 is my lucky number. I also go by the name midnitetiger on other boards, because Tiger has been an undiscovered nickname of mine for awhile, and I love the night and the moon.

Mine comes from the title of a novel called 'The Torture Garden' by a guy named Octave Mirbeau. There was one particular passage that really stood out for me:

'You're obliged to pretend respect for people and institutions you think absurd. You live attached in a cowardly fashion to moral and social conventions you despise, condemn, and know lack all foundation. It is that permanent contradiction between your ideas and desires and all the dead formalities and vain pretenses of your civilization which makes you sad, troubled and unbalanced. In that intolerable conflict you lose all joy of life and all feeling of personality, because at every moment they suppress and restrain and check the free play of your powers. That's the poisoned and mortal wound of the civilized world.'

Reesie thats my childhood nickname. My real name is Teresa and my mom would call me reesie for short. And then all my friends and family picked up on it. Now its like my only name because its what everybody that really knows me calls me. Eventually through the years the reesie turned into reesie peanut butter cup. And I'm sure you all know the chocolate candy. Anyway it just will always be my nickname.

of corrupt behaviors and attitude!!!

I chose my name when my husband of 20 years left and I realized I was so much happier since he left. I decided I would never again allow somebody to bring me down. And now I'm living happily ever after... forever

I choose mine, because everyone who knew my mom, called her "gentle"...I added spirit because I believe spirits are always around us...so it's in honor of my mom, really... one day I hope to grow up and be just like her....

ok, since it is causung havoc.

1) I AM a jolly hapy soul
2) Have you SEEN my eyes? Coal? *shrugs* suppose so
3) I'm Cdn, often thought of as a cold place
4) I used to very much enjoy snow (uh...dun ask)
5) The Vampire in the movie "Blade" was very much like me in very many ways
6) I'm cool.
7) When frrrosty bites ya..haha.."so cool it burns baby" (akin to frostbite)

SO..um..ya that's it in a nutshell.

The vampire from teh Original Blade is the initial reason I chose this name though. Other than pushin the lil girl in front of the bus..that's me. ;)\

P.S. I don't think he ever really died in that movie.

Mommy of 2 requires no explanation to most, and reflects what is most important to me.
It does, however, get wierd when I get called Mommy on here. Even worse are the emails that say "I'll call you Mommy if you call me Daddy" or "So, do you have any kids? If so, how many?"
So, my name has unofficially been shortened to M2. I'd change it but then I'd always be asked what M2 stands for. lol

M2 - what can you do? but at least your name weeds out some of the more unsavoury types?!?!!?

i just shorten mine to SMG when sending emails. i think lots of people shorten their names when signing off....

I can lay on my bed and see the Renaisance Center (a high rise glass bldg approx. 70 storeys high ) through my balcony door. I was laying on my bed one day, with my legs slightly apart. When I looked out to the balcony, I saw the Renaisance Center looking like an erection between my legs.

I laughed and said "Wow. I wish!"

Hence the abreviated name "Rencen"
I aspire to be that big one day
