Profile name

ChapinaGrande

I see that you all have the most interesting profile names. How did you come up with yours?

I'll start. My husband is from Guatemala. A person from Guatemala is informally known as a Chapin/Chapina. Even though I am gringa by birth, I consider myself an honorary Chapina by marriage, especially since I now have a scar from burning myself while making homemade tortillas. In addition, all the Central Americans I have ever met are very short. My husband is 5'5 to my 5'10, so I am pretty durn gigantic to him and his friends and family--hence ChapinaGrande. My husband always chuckles when he sees me on here because of my name.

I love the show Dexter. And since I'm not a man, I change it to Dextress. = )

Spanntastic12

It's a play on my last name. In high school I played sports and the sports page had a lead an article headlined "A Spanntastic finish" (my last name being Spann) after I scored 8 points in the last minute to win the game. After that everyone kept calling me spanntastic and well I just used it as my e-mail and username since then.

Come on. Definitely a given. Ive been in love with Red Bull since I started high school. So.... it's probably been about 8 years. Give or take. It really does give me wings.

Because I fell down the steps many many years ago and apparently looked like a Slinky toy. The nickname Slinky just stuck and I started using it for everything, only that spelling was taken so I changed it to Slinkee. It evolved into IMSLINKEE (I'm Slinkee) and has just stuck ever since.

So it's my name, Shalea with symphony added to it
