Something that would strike fear in the hearts of the enemy. i was young....... i came up with RockKiller...... I know retarded right lol. Then i joined my first clan called NLB and rockkiller was too big to fit with the tags so i just went with killer. then after i found out that NLB was a hacker clan that supported and invited hackers i left NLB and wanted to change my name. I was trying to think of a new name and an American red cross commercial came on the tv. so for about a year i was AmericanRedCross. Then i started a clan called GRIM and yet again my name was too big. i shortened it to RedCross and was GRIM-RedCross for many years after awhile i got tired of being called Red so i shortened it once again to just Cross. and that's that!

They would always say they lost to some little old man, and when I finally started playing online it seemed like the logical name. I'm not little or an old man at 52, but it seems like a good fit.

Astronomy is my passion. A night at a dark-sky site with my telescope and a few good friends is the best tonic for the soul that I can think of. When I do public outreach with my club, seeing a child's or a senior's eyes light up when they see the rings of Saturn through the eyepiece for themselves for the first time is immensely satisfying.

I had to come up with a screen name, and Bama was natural because I'm a big Alabama Football fan. Those that have been around here a while knew me as PTBama, because my first clan (of like 5 guys) was Project Treadstone. All those guys moved on, and I played almost exclusively on XI servers for years, so when I became a member the PT stayed in my name for a long time. I finally got around to dropping it a year or so back, and that's why I'm BAMA. Thats BAM-AH (as in Alabama) not BOM-A (as in Barrack OBAMA).

But I'm an Idiot now so here goes. For years I've been part of the Rick Springfield fan community. We were all known by our screen names and most people chose song titles for their names. I chose a portion of a lyric and got a lot of laughs when they saw my name. It was originally BurningBright. Yes, it's naughty. Here's the lyrics http://www.ricksprin...IGetExcited.htm Bama took me to a concert several years ago. As we were leaving he cut his eyes at me and said "Now I know where you got your name from." I cued up the innocent girl giggle. he he he he he Over time, I was embarrassed by my name. I have convictions and I try to be good. I chose the verse you see in my signature to be my theme verse and try to live up to that though I usually fail. So now my name is a nod to the verse......."Let your light so shine......"

This comes from a song my daddy used to listen to when I was growing up and he called me his lil runaway. I was the baby so I was NOT very spoiled..lol..and Im so NOT a daddys girl. When I turned 18 and ready to move off to start my own life, my daddy didnt wanna let his last baby to leave and told me I would just have to runaway. In all my clans this was my name.

Maybe he was dyslexic or something, I don't know, lol. He started calling me Mot, too, and it stuck. I, in turn, called another Tom Mot and it became briefly fashionable to be called Mot if your name was Tom. Fast forward to the internet and the era of usernames. For a while, a username like "Mot" worked just fine, but eventually 3 character usernames fell out of favor. Long about that time I was starting my internet radio station (Girls Rock Radio) and adding "dj" to the beginning seemed a way to connect another part of my professional life to my online persona. But I keep the "dj" part lower case as being a radio Disk Jockey really isn't a formal skill for me (even though GRR is the premier destination for the music of women artists in the rock, pop, and alternative music genres on the internet today,) so being lowercase is my way of de-emphasizing that skill. Plus, it kind of looks cooler with the mixed caps. Unfortunately, 5 characters is still too short in many situations, so I sometimes have to add other stupid shit on the back end to pad it out. That's my story. 2olde2sloe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
