It's an obscure Lord of the Rings reference. In Tolkien's Middle Earth, there were 5 wizards (or "Istari") in all, but he only officially names 3: Gandalf the Grey, Saruman the White, and Radagast the Brown. But in some of his manuscripts, he mentions two "blue wizards" who appeared sometime in the Second Age, but had since disappeared by the Third Age.
Yes, I'm a geek.

Zola, because my other (and much better) half calls me that when I'm being a bit selfish. (He thought the song was "Whatever Zola wants...." when he was a little too stoned one night.)
Q, because my other (and much better) half is a man and we're Queer and very proud of it, I guess.
LaPlaya, because I love the beach and that's where I want to live forever with my other (and much better) half.
A couple of people here know my real first name. Ask them if you're curious.

Posted: 7/31/04 at 8:14pmMine's not too creative. I played Roxie this year in Chicago and it was the best thing I've ever done so I chose that. Simple.

#87re: Creative User Names
Posted: 7/31/04 at 9:07pmOh god--so NOT creative. It's my default on-line account name (initials, and add 212 to avoid the endless bta-1, bta-2 bta-3 thing). Now that I'm addicted to Bwayworld, the pressure to find the right name is killing me....

This is an oldie lol
Anyway, mine is my name, Timm (yes, 2 M's) in Spanish (at least according to the crzy lady I had my senior year of HS). 16 is my favorite/lucky number. The 3 used to stand for something, but I honestly cannot remember what it means.

Posted: 4/29/05 at 2:36pmThe character from Les Miz, both her first and last name. Yes Eponine is a Thenardier. My dream role, although that was before I realized that it is half the female populations dream role as well...

Shameless, because I am!
I'm kidding, it's actually the title of one of my favorite songs. It was written by Billy Joel and performed by Garth Brooks. And if you people know what's good for you, you will not trash Garth!
Again, I'm kidding.

Posted: 4/29/05 at 2:48pmObscure reference to The Producers- which I was obsessed with, a while back (fortunately for the general public, those days are gone). Roger (the director)'s middle name is Elizabeth, and his last name is DeBris. Since I'm a girl, I just made it Elizabeth DeBris (and my username for everything except AIM is some variant of it).

Posted: 4/29/05 at 3:01pmAll my screennames over the years have included some variation of "skittles" because it's my favorite candy and my school's mascot is the Orangemen.

My last name is KANG... and people always say that I'm really outgoing: kangaroo. People actually used to make fun of me with this name in elementary school, but it never bothered me. Who wouldn't want to be a kangaroo? Plus, a lot of my favorite actors {look to the left} are from Austrailia, and so I thought it would be an appropriate tribute to them
