Why did you pick your user name?

it's from an anime, FLCL, she's a strong anarchic character I have some affinity with, odd, alien, including the spelling variants and people having very different impressions of the same person, confusing, confused?
 
I suppose I can be a bit of a gas bag at times. So there was that, the inside joke of "Fu" relating to the "Five Elements of Ninjutsu", and the potty humor of the current head of a certain martial arts organization farting in a senior student's face during a demonstration.

Since choosing this username, I've learned "Fu" has some other cool meanings and that a "Fu Bag" is a good luck charm used while travelling. But mainly I'm known for being a windbag.
 
University nickname. I have a motel and of course being at uni they decided it was a bordello so I got boards.
 
^ except it's a guy character (even with the Siouxsie hair!) i still have another username for my youtube and Discogs which is a softer side to me, but am getting more militant as i get older, could develop into one of those anarchist grannies by retirement age

Forgot to say, that I always felt I could relate to Blade. You know, by all appearnces human but being on the outside looking in. The oddball, outsider, in between two worlds, human and vamp, being both but neither. I live that way too. Never really felt like I fit in anywhere, and rejected when I tried. That was especially true in grade school, where i was abused so much (ever had anyone try to set you on fire or threat to drive by your house and shoot at you? I did) that I quit in grade 10 and so I don't have a high school diploma cause i didnt graduate. less so true in university (and karate) where I did make friends and allies. and even dated quite a bit. But I still feel like that quite a bit. like an outsider. And I always wanted to fit in, to BE a full person in society. I never had a bf that lasted more than 6 months. Like Blade at first, i wanted to BE human. I was impressed though, when he learned that being who he was, he was able to help society better than if he became human and lost all his daywalker powers and his half vampire. he didn't cry and sit down and say boo hoo.

I guess this is another reason I love my username. I relate to it.
 
Eh, the name "Yoda" was taken, so I mixed my favorite martial art (aikido) with the beginning of my Scotish last name (mac).
 
I tried to put my usual username in(Curly, for my hair) but it was taken, so I just used "forero" which is the word used on another board to mean a forum-goer.
