Default Re: itt share the story of your username

It's crazy to think I started using the Internet before google existed...I remember logging onto computers back in grade school and firing up Netscape.

Anyway, way way back in the day we got Internet in our home. My dad let me have a little Internet time for a couple hours when I wanted to use it. This was in the dark ages before pictures and movies dominated the web so I mostly did loser things like read IGN's text based site.

I ended up registering for a site in like 2nd or 3rd grade, and I needed a screen name....so I went with my favorite movie at the time, Gremlins, and became "KillerGremlin." Later in middle school I became a fan of the hideous AMC Gremlin, I think it is the sexiest funky car. I've registered KG for email addresses, used it as a game tag, used it for forums....I swear I was the first mother fucker on the Internet using "KillerGremlin." I wish you could copyright screennames because some other KG is out there, at least on AIM....

Anyway, at some point people at AGB or maybe it was GT decided it would be fun to flip their username around. Must have been out of boredom. So I flipped KG and got my much more interesting AIM username which was more entertaining for high school. I also have a couple of other screennames I use...actually just one...but patent pending bitches.

I'm a trooper though. KG is sort of like...me. I mean I can't change names. This name is me, it's like my personality. I feel very attached to it, and will most likely use it the rest of my life.
