There is a horse named redamber and my mom bet on it at the race track and
won a lot of money and since my name is Amber and my hair is red at the
moment I thought hey why not since sometimes I lack originality and that is
my story, the end.

"Komet155" comes from my car's nickname (komet also means shooting star in German) and 155 is because the car is a Volkswagen Cabriolet which is a "type 155" chassis vehicle.
this was also the designation for a Hilfskreuzer or raider from WW1.
BTW my nickname uses the Japanese term for metamorphosis/change/evolution and my profession. I'm more sedentary now but, in my misspent youth I worked as a freelance writer for a wire service. I saw a fair amount of excitement and once I didn't duck fast enough in Somalia-I couldn't sit down for 2 weeks.

It was the other way around, Kurosawa's film was first. but an excellent film to see is Blood on The Sun starring James Cagney as a newspaper reporter in pre-war Tokyo.

Rasonage...

basically the name comes from a character in my young imagination... the character was all about rage and wrathful vengance (anger issues me? WHO TOLD YOU THAT?!) this was himself as a chiled.. a son full of rage... rageson... ra-son-age...

I was stupid enough to use this an my first online identity and it stuck with me...

I didn't say it was a good idea...

Julya was a name I made up for this horror script I wrote when I was 20.

And its July-a, not Julia.

Sloth
Pride
Lecherie
Envy
Gluttony

some of my favorite etymology words from highschool and one of several names i've used, also a semi-popular mnemonic device for the sins (i didn't know this until after i thought i had created it). i have my home computers named after the individual sins and network devices after the cardinal virtues (juxtaposed in catholicism).

I chose MidnightChild because I'd already tried about 50 other nics that were already in use. I looked at my watch. It was midnight, so I tried MidnightChild. It worked.

I have always been an athlete of sorts. I can pick up a sport and be damn good at it. Should've been a baseball player but then there was her and kids soon to follow so i never got the chance. Still in damn good shape though.

__My photos are on an unorthodox slant being that I seldom smile in my photos I wanted display humour with them. The second part of my name is from the herb for I am a sales person to the food service industry. Yes, I sell herbs and much more. In french it also means "wise", more a joke than anything else but a reference to my culture. The first part is a reference to one of my favorite musician, Dr. John. I took the slang form to add humour.

Gee I love star trek can you tell?!
Vulcan because Spock is the man.
When I was little I wanted to be logical like Spock
but I'm still more like a young female version of Dr. Mccoy.
