    mine sounds more interesting that it is. When I was signing up I was looking around the house for an idea for my user name. My son had a zebra rocking horse in the room, so viola RockinZebra!!

    Years ago, for my AOL account (circa 1993??) - I didn't want to be jsmith48379820282726348, so I kept trying this or that, and was continually rejected with all my attempts because the "username is already in use, please try again". After about 50 tries I sat back with complete frustration and created a combination of two words that couldn't possibly have ever been put together, and voila, AOL accepted it.

    I've been using it ever since.

    There is only one pucenavel - and he is me.

    My name is Mia, and I'm becoming a brand new me! "Brand New Mia" was supposed to be the name of my blog but that never happened (I'm not much of a writer) but it made a good screen name :happy:

    once upon a time, a boy met a girl and they fell in love. Those two people got married. Then had a baby. 6 babies later, they had me. And gave me a name. Then I met a boy. and fell in love. And got married. And got his name. And then I joined mfp years later and used that name as my username.

    'Shelly' is my nickname in the real world (taken from Michele, my given name), and i tend to like to stick with names i will recognize when someone is talking to me *LOL*

    Macchi was a name i adopted for online because it reminds me of my next 'determined to get there' travel destination, Macchu Pichu (i am an archaeology addict) *S*

    The "kimi" part of my name has a long history. In middle school, I had a teacher who nicknamed me Kimiko (a japanese word for flower...I think and close to my real name, Kimberly). I loved it and used it often (still do in fact). In college I used Kimiko as part of a chat room I belonged to. People there started shortening it to Kimi and I thought that was cute! Nowadays I even have a real life friend who calls me Kimi. When I joined MFP, I immediately realized that it was a social site and people would want to call me by "name." I wanted something close to my real name, but not my real name, so I chose Kimi. It worked too, everybody calls me Kimi, even my MFP friends who know my real name (which I don't hide since it's also mentioned on my profile).

    The 131 is simple. My birthday is January 31st (1/31 :wink: )
