Why Did You Choose Your Username?
 
Sorry if this has been done but I couldn't find anything.
So
mine is hennessy because that's my surname
it was ghostface77 before because I like the name Ghostface from spirited away and wu tang member and 77 the year I was born and star wars released.
so how about your?

Appearance Of A Junky.

Trying to come up with a user name that is different and unique so I can use it for mutiple things (previous forums, Xbox account)

I'm tall, skinny and generally scruffy appearance.
I have an interest in the counter culture and certain writers of this, and the lifes they led.
One Writer in particular was William S Burroughs, and one of his best known books is Junky (which also is the reason why my names Junky and not Junkie).

Not that I look like him, but I like the imagery.

For your eyes only - William S Burroughs

Naked Lunch is very hard reading, as did a lot of his 'cut and paste' stuff.

Junky though is an amazing read - or, if you prefer to be lazy, you can find it as an audio book read by Burroughs his voice is amazing.

Lewis. 25-08-2009 10:18 AM

Mine has quite a good twist to it ;)
I am in love with Leona Lewis and it is her name backwards. If I was called Harry I wouldn't have chosen it, but my name is Lewis.. so it makes sense

Lewis is my name
Leona - I'm in love with her

LewisLeona is Leona Lewis back to front
