    Mine is actually a weird story, when I was in high school, we had a substitute teacher and people were being silly and putting fake names on the sign in sheet she passed around instead of actually taking roll. Someone intended to sign as Super Man but instead signed "Supper Man." My friend and I found this hilarious and decided we'd form a league of Super Meal Heroes! She was Dinner Woman, another friend was Breakfast Boy, I became Lunch Girl. I added the "ie" to the end because my usual was already taken.

    That's a cute story, but being a sub myself, I can't help feeling sorry for your poor sub!

    I'm a substitute teacher too. I never give the kids my real name. I always make something up.

    I think we did actually write our real names on the sign up sheet, but our league of Super Meal Heroes became an extracurricular game for us. I miss being amused by things like that... oh to be... half my age again.

    It was during a time in my life that I felt ineffectual and like my life was pointless. A friend of mine said, "Have you ever heard of chaos theory? A butterfly flaps its wings in Tokyo and starts a chain of events that build to an earthquake in Toronto, and you're no mere butterfly." It was one of the most beautiful things anyone's ever said to me.

    Picked it when I joined a gardening forum for "exotic" plants a while ago. All the plants I love to grow are "weird" looking or have an "alternative" flare to them (bad smelling-yet beautiful flowers, latex sap, eat bugs, odd growing conditions)...I'm not sure exactly why this reminded me of the feminist alternative punk movement of the late 80s (since I'm pro-female, but not an over the top feminist), but it felt right and has been one of my online names ever since. No one else has it either, so I don't have to put a bunch of numbers after it--which is always nice.
