    i've always had a varying amount of cats, anywhere from 3 to 5, and they are always the shelter rejects, usually hyper, overly nosy, helpful, wild cats (i could probably charge admission to my house, it's a bit like a circus sometimes) and my mom asked me why do you always have to pick the "special" ones? So specialkitty was born. I had to add the 7 since specialkitty was taken. It's both my favorite number, and my dalmatian's name.

    Kit was a nickname given to me by one of my best friends in high school and it stuck, 88 is the year I was born and 06 was the year I graduated.

    I came to MFP in the first place to find a site where I could keep my blog and profile private, thanks to my boyfriend's ex stalking me online and in person. I chose my username because I am rising above the negativity and hostility (and outright craziness) of people like her to become a better person and won't let her or anyone else stop me.

    When i joined MFP i was initially secretive about my weight loss (no one can know u failed if they dont know you tried) so i didn't use my name or any nicknames and decided to go for something vague. So i went with darkskinned and my birth year 1988...i kinda wanna change it but since MFP only allows one change idk if i can make such a commitment

    Some friends were talking about cupcakes, and I said I just want someone to call me Cupcake, damn it! A couple of friends were getting ready to change their usernames, and I thought maybe it was time for me to, also, and this sounded like a good one. I thought people would think it was dumb, but I get comments on it all the time.

    Have you ever let the Xbox assign you a name? When I first got my 360 I did the random name thing, and it gave me UranicBuffalo. I went with it for a while, and got a lot of "wtf is that??" when sitting in the various lobbies for games. Good times.

    Mine has been my online screen name pretty much since the Internet was invented. It originated from a joke with a friend when I was wearing a skit that was secured by just one snap. It's a screen name that works well for me since I'm passionate about photography...images I take with one snap.

    Amande is French for almond and is the closest word to my name that I've found in any language other than English, my name is Amanda. Someone had already taken Amande, so I went to google translate and choose almond in Italian.

    A few years ago I was playing an online RPG with knights and lords etc, and I had wanted the name Majik Mike but it was taken, So I tried Majikmiker and it was good. I've since used it for everything. Now there is that movie out and I'm kinda regretting it.....:huh:

    A few years ago I needed a username for a different site, and I remembered an episode of Grey's Anatomy titled "Blues for Sister Someone"; so I typed that in, and it kind of stuck. Over the years, it's become my go-to username wherever I'm registering somewhere where I don't need to use my real name.

    I came across mine from some digital company that just happened to pop up in my google images search for something else. Ever since then, I thought it was cute and matches my jiggly self. :3
