    Young Ily panicked as the atmosphere was vacuumed from the room
    What do i do? She could only mouth the words from her side of the glass and hope that Harry understood.
    "You're in the imagination room," He screamed knowing full well she couldn't hear, "you have to Imagine air Ily!"

    I suppose you think life is nothing but imaginarily

    What it stands for
    It stands for me

    How it came to be
    It is the name I have

    Meaning of life
    What you make it [personally that boils down to some form of regulated hedonism — a bit like regulated capitalism, but with more balloons and fewer suits]

    It means "scream" in Serbian. It's also a portmanteau of my pen name.

    Well, as for my username, it's the name of a band. I like the music, but I'm not, like, a huge fan. I think I just liked the name.

    My username came about with a semi-random foray into Latin years and years ago in an attempt to find a unique, yet unused username for my online life; which turned out to be used anyway.... As you might assume, I have had it since i was in primary school but I have never really bothered to change it thoroughly despite the fact I have since changed some of my usernames to something new - and I kind of wish I could change it on the forums as to round it all of, but that is not so important.

    as for the meaning of life? Well, why does life need a meaning? not everything needs to have meaning to exist.

    My username is an anagram of my full name and I made it because anagrams are cool. As for the meaning of life.. Life is meaningless :)

    This is also my email address, and my username in many places.
    My real first name is Jennifer, but I go by Jenna. Peterson is the surname of the man who filled the roll of father in my heart, but is not my legal name. (19)88 is the year I was born.

    I had an auger drill bit on my desk when I registered. The name sounded pretty cool.

    Madrugada is a Spanish/Portugese word for a moment in a day just before the dawn.
    I love words which don't really have translation in other languages, and, being the most productive at night, it seemed perfect for me :)

    DueNorth: Live due north, know the direction I am headed, just not where I will end up (will also serve as my answer to 'meaning of life' query). Note the raft in avatar with book for sail.

    I messed up when I registered - called myself myself, tho I dropped the annoying end consonants. This error opens me up to exploitation, I am waiting.

    And good to see goths around the house, heh. I actually, probably invented the whole scene with my eye-liner on the bus to school. I began, a punk at fifteen, goths, the tolerable sub-species; if we had a quiz I'd definitely win.

    ...

    This was my favourite picture at 15. I wanted to look like the guy at the front, cried tears in my bedroom because I looked more like the other guy. The curse to be blond.

    A few years ago, I was wrongly informed that Mizuzawa was the japanese for waterfall... With Mizu being water and mizumi being lake, It sort of made sense to me but I forgot to check if it was correct.

    I kept getting the problem everywhere that the username I wanted was taken, so I tried Mizuzawa. because I like waterfalls.

    That sounded a bit rough to me though as a name, so I amended it to Misusawa. Though the down side of that is on certain sites people think I may be japanese.

    Oh and Mizuzawa is actually a a district of Oshu is Iwate prefecture, Japan.

    What it stands for:
    Nothing in particular really

    How it came to be:

    Well, I use a pen name for my written works, and as i hadn't truly settled on the name,i had to come up with a kind of place holder, and it kind of summarises how my manuscripts look - chaotic

    Meaning of life?:
    The meaning of life is to eat, sleep and make as much of an impact on this world as possible in any given way

    WELCOME, fellow Viking.

    My people were certainly Vikings. My Dad was from Yorkshire so I'm definitely a Viking, or a Vipeasant at the very least.

    Mine is just a play on words since I am both a writer/author and a control freak. So therefore it shall be Authority

    Well for me I created this account when I was in middle school so I really don't know why I chose Dilfill other than the fact that no one else ever used that username. :)

    The meaning of life? I think the meaning of life is to enjoy each moment and stay in the present rather than the past or future.
