I have a giant old slang book that has slang from the 20's and 40's etc. Peachalulu was slang for something terrific which I thought was cute.
There's a long and short version of this story. SHort version, I had a lot of messed up thoughts flying around and I liked to write them out and pray they were never found. Long version Spoiler At the time I first started doing things online, I was working on a story (Scales and Fangs. Was about a demi-dragon got turned into a vamp on a mission. Mary-Sued the hell out of him, but I was like 9.) I'd pop in once in a while on some RP forums, starting on fanfiction.net, and then from there, I became more like a lurker. I know it's BS, but I kinda felt like one of the four horsemen for RPGs, because within days of my showing up and joining an RP group, it spiraled down the toilet. At the time I actually started focusing on what I was doing trying to keep stuff alive, I started making characters with really depressing and/or... controversial backstories... Should I have been exploring these topics at 13? No, no I should not have. But I had too much time on my hands and I was going through a phase where I hated everyone and everything that I could not draw inspiration from. My mother got me hooked on movies like Riddick and Underworld that had a lot of violence, and then I discovered horror movies. I thought they were really cheesy and crap, since there only either low-budget movies with really unrealistic everything or high-end stuff that was really just boring because it was so interesting that I didn't see it as a horror flick, I just thought the monsters were cool af. Combined that with my limited experience in writing, and Jathan's final *or so I thought* incarnation came together. By now, I was more or less established on fanfiction.net, goodreads.com, etc, as a roleplayer, I was on a bunch of forums, modded/admined a few, and I was losing my passwords and information forever because I didn't think to let my computer save the information was a good idea, because of the aforementioned messed up stuff I didn't want anyone to see. I figured out that I needed a consistent motif for this information. And yes, I know that you're not supposed to use the same password for everything. I use two; one for my recreational accounts (roleplay, video games, this), one for my important stuff. I wound up choosing DarkPen14 because I was the sketchiest person ever who sits in the back, wearing all black at all times, writing, at 14.
I got it working at a factory where there were already two Johns and a Johnny, and a Jean-Mi (nickname for Jean-Michel). Confusion would reign when one of use was paged on the shop loudspeaker. So they just took the initials of my name, John LaTorre, and made it a nickname. Thirty years later, some people still call me that.
I think my name pretty much speaks for itself. Put a cookie in front of my face and it's gone in three seconds or less guaranteed! You WILL see crumbs fly.
I'm going to link the three threads of similar nature, incase anyone wants to browse them to see other members response. https://www.writingforums.org/threads/your-username.20925/ https://www.writingforums.org/threads/how-did-you-come-up-with-your-forum-name.157095 https://www.writingforums.org/threads/reason-behind-your-username.127582 But, as for me. I'm going to quote myself:
I like rabbits, and most of my online avatars are a picture of my late rabbit, Alvin. I've had a lot of pet rabbits in my life, but Alvin was a special one. He made me laugh a lot with his antics (this avatar picture is from when he had jumped on my desk trying to get a drink of my tea and ended up spilling it everywhere. His forehead was stained yellow for a few days).
