    ok, here goes...

    I was (well still am I suppose) a huge Metallica fan, and took Sandman from "Enter Sandman".
    As for GStefani, I took that from the woman of my dreams (the Mrs and I have and understanding about it lol) Gwen Stefani. The 24 is my favorite Nascar driver's number, Jeff Gordon.

    So, I basically took 3 of my biggest interests and ran them together.

    Mine means stolen time in italian musical terminology. It's the name of my boat, because that's where I go to steal time.

    Default True Story...

    Some years back my college roomate and I went to all four parks in one day. We rode 22 rides and wandered about the Tree of Life. Hence....22ridesandtheTOL.

    I will admit that we both pretty much melted down after the Movie Ride at the Studios, but soldered on to finish our agenda before going back to fall over at the Boardwalk Inn. Heh.

    It's possible to visit all four parks in one day riding 22 rides and visiting the Tree Of Life. I won't try it again though. ;)

    My first name is Keri

    The "WDE" part is related to my beloved Auburn University and our battle cry during games, "War Eagle". Between Auburn fans and alum, it has transformed into a salutation, much like "aloha".

    The "D" part is not family friendly, but you can guess.

    War Eagle, baby!

    I love that ... I may shamelessly steal it for our boat, which is as-yet unnamed.

    My DD and our late Alaskan malamute (Tundra) were babies together, the little boy next door was 4 at the time and referred to me as Alexsmom or Tundramom depending on the day.

    Mine is a combination of the university where I attend grad school (and graduating from in June) and my first name.

    Not terribly creative, I'm afraid.

    GBBT...Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow.One of the greatest Disney songs.As a kid in the 70's my parents took my 2 sisters and myself to Disey World a few times and I remember the COP in that time and it amazed me. Went back to the World in 1994(at least 18 years later).Spent the most time at MK and rekindled that love for COP and broght back those childhood memories.Always have to see it everytime we go back...make it a point to see it.

    Mine is just a play on my first, middle and last name that I've used forever... but after reading all of your posts I don't think it is nearly creative enough for this message board!

    Mine is such a high concentration of nerdyness that cool people need to wear special gloves to handles it....

    It's actually a shortened version of "Plexing." This is actually a fairly obscure bit of Star Trek lore. "Plexing" is a Betazoid relaxation technique that Deanna Troi teaches to Reg Barclay in one of the earlier episodes of Next Generation.

    Why, you ask, is this in any way relevant to anything?

    You see I also happened to play the Star Trek Collectible Card Game many years ago. Plexing happens to be a card from that game - and a pretty terrible one at that. It ended up in a tournament deck of mine as a joke and actually ended up winning a game for me. Naturally a win off of something that because the stuff of legend in my very nerdy circle of friends and it ended up sticking...

    Since then Plex has been my handle for pretty much anything that requires a pseudonym.

    mine is because I have always loved dragons and stories about dragons ever since I was a little girl, I even have a rather large dragon tatto on my arm. The x is because whenever I pick this username someone always seems to have beaten me to it so I add the x as so I can have the name.
