my name is an accident. it started out as my rl initials, repeated, but somehow I made a typo. I liked the result, but later discovered that people were mistaking me for a Palestinian woman, so it got modified somewhat. then, I found that it had been "used" (probably by me) when I went to create a login somewhere (maybe this forum) so I added more. I decided the resulting name should be pronounced like the fade-out chorus of The Beatles' "Hello Goodbye".

it happened that, after a brief period of creativity, I found that my desire to create more identities has abated. can't remember 'em or their passwords after awhile, and don't want stray identities floating out in space with no tether to me. I have a Google account but have no idea what the login and password are, for example.

I like hailahh and maybe after awhile, that will become my sole identity and I'll just leave off the others.

I'm aware that Grimhilde was also the name of the evil queen in Sleeping Beauty. Heh, heh ...

Nice! I used to dress up as one of the Rhine maidens when I was little . I think I still have that costume somewhere, I designed it myself when I was 8, and made it with some help from my mom ... Wonderful to meet someone else who was inspired by Wagner .

Nope. That one is Cecil. He worked at Dot's Diner. The character's name I use, technically has no name; just goes by Al's Waiter. He works at Al's Wait and Eat down in Level 31 (Do I sound geeky enough now?).

I'm a huge fan of ReBoot and can out geek/trivia most people I know on it. Check out my old webpage if you want. It's been a while since I updated it, but there's plenty of info on it.

Come to think of it, I have a very small, not very interesting Myst page as well. The whole purpose of it was to write down the journals found in the games. Oddly enough, I'm still doing that with URU. Damn URU and all the journals everywhere!

My avatar name Atier (A-T-ER), is the result of keyboard smashing and strategic deleting. It's the name of a character I play on an online RPG (Dofus). Ati (A-T) for short.

My forum name is from the TV show ReBoot. I've had it for 12 years and have no intention of stopping now. I'm usually called AW for short.

That's all. No big stories for either.

I chose my name 'way baaack when.I'd found an online community called TORC (The One Ring.Com -- a Tolkien fan site) and needed to create a user name to join. I looked around me for inspiration and, just outside my window, a light lavender blossom caught my eye. I chose "Wisteria" and joined up (where I eventually became known as "Wiste").

Then when Uru was looking for beta testers (how many years ago was that??? Seems a lifetime ago!), I needed a user name again. By then Wisteria had become a part of me, so it made sense to choose it again. And with the beautiful settings and the flora of the Myst world, I figured it would fit right in!

After too long a hiatus (I never had a computer that would run the GameTap platform decently enough and I couldn't get the MOUL to run with Vista), I am back, exploring all the wonderful work everyone's been doing while I was too long on the surface. Hello to those I knew before and another hello to all the new people I look forward to meeting!

If there are any Dutch people around that can write phonetically, please translate for me .

I don't know the phonetical alphabet either but I believe it would be "Nahrahmeh" in D'ni

My main avatar is "Luna(nne)" . At a certain point in my life I decided to use "Luna" as my internet name, and it sort of stuck although now I think the reason why I choose it kind of silly. Anyway when I registered here"Luna" was already taken, so I decided to use"Lunanne". I ended up being "Luna"* in one half of the community and "Lunanne" in the other half. "Luna(nne)" seemed to be the best way to make clear who I am to everyone.

* yeah it is technically "luna" and "lunanne" because when I registered , I ignored capitals mostly. I stopped doing that.

<<<<< My username, is my nickname and my initals.

My avatar name, is my nickname, Alien. There is a story about how I was given it (I didn't pick it, it was given to me), but I won't recount that here.

I also have my own logo :

it is an ambigram, it is the same either way up (it has 180 degree centre point symmetry) and spells out the word Alien.
