      I have an obsession with turtles and Terrapin is usually taken so I played with the letters a but and came up with Terrappyn. Most people think I came up with the name after Grateful Dead's album Terrapin Station. Although I did grow with GD playing in my house thanks to my dad and his GD obsession it is really based on my love of the cute little reptiles. :)

      I have a deep seated love of oragami and basket weaving...

      Wow, I'm offended by that profile pic of yours, bikermike. Not because of the derogatory and misogynistic comment in regards to women, but because you forgot to include that anything with balls comes with problems, too. I enjoyed your comment, however.

      This post is so much fun! Thank you!

      Mine seems comparatively lame. Well, just lame. It's a nickname from HS. My first name is Nicole and a friend started calling me Bob Nicolata. Not sure where she came up with it, but there it is.

      I didn't think I could use some of my more colorful nicknames on here, but I see that lots of other people threw caution to the wind!

      Because I make Fun Soaps, in cupcake-styles in bakery scents (like Maraschino Cherry, Chocolate Chip Mint, etc.)...I make them soapscicle-style, and all sorts of fun bakery shapes.

      my username is the same on almost every forum i'm a member of. it's Welsh for "multitudes."

      "Do I contradict myself?
      Very well then I contradict myself,
      (I am large, I contain multitudes.)"

      ~Walt Whitman, "Song of Myself."

      it seemed fitting - i'm a gemini and we're well known for being several people in one skin ;o)
      also, i never, ever get the dreaded "this username is already in use" message LOL

      I was married when I signed up. His email/nickname/messageboard name forever was "puckrogue." After we got together, all my names seemed to migrate to MrsRogue. After we divorced, I was going to change it, but I've become fond of the Rogue part of it. :-)

      I have no imagination when it comes to screen names so I just use my own name. Easier to remember when I log back in. The one time I came up with what I thought was a clever screen name, I couldn't remember it several days later when I went to log in. Never got back into that website ever again!

      My ideal option was taken, so I used the handle I also use on another website. Also, my world of warcraft character is named Safiora and i think Linnea is pretty.

      My first several choices were taken but I recently moved to Ohio and some of the walking trails go through beautiful prairie fields of flowers and grasses. I grew up walking on beaches in Florida but now I'm a prairie walker.

      Tried to use my normal log in name used for most internet sites but it was taken so on impulse I tried the doctor who advised me to lose weight surname.

      Well my name is Lizzy, and I always like to refer to my name twinkie Lizzie Borden as opposed to some of the more up to date and annoying twinkies. Well a friend of mine a while back turned the nickname, LB, to Little Bird [ I'm not at all little but its cute] and so I reworked the spelling and there you go :)

      One day when my husband and I were rough-housing (playing!), I told him that he was beating me to a pulp and he said, "yes, that's all you are, a little pulp!"

      I am a big fan on Pinterest. I saw a pin where this person took two jars and had 1 marble for each pound she wanted to lose, and when she did, she moved it to the other jar. I've seen it on this site since. Since I want to lose weight and am doing the marble jars, I'm "losingmymarbles".

      Filomena is my middle name, but I often have trouble being able to just use filomena as my username, so I added the e at the end because my first name is Emily! : )
