What is it with some people?

I love my user name on here. I don't really think it describes me at all, I don't think it really means anything at all... bar the thought behind coming up with it... but it's just quite random, and I love it for that reason.

But why do people often have really, really crappy user names? And oddly enough, they always turn out to be crap writers if they have a BoRiNg user name.

Perhaps:

You need a name to stand out. Something to get you recognised. So, instead of really thinking hard about a cool name, you just steal something from a band/wrestler/sexual position, and then capitalise every other letter. Stands out then, doesn't it?

GrIx ThRaVeS

And then you have people that seem to believe that putting character next to the name make it more interesting too. No it doesn't. You just look like a mong.

<[(~--GrIx-ThRaVeS--~)]>

Then of course, when you still discover your name is still as boring as ever, you try to make it "clever", by changing letters to symbols that look like letters. Not clever. Boring, and pathetic.

<[(~--§®!×-†#®ÅV˧™--~)]>

Oh dear.

It doesn't mean you're original, creative, or anything. Really. Any idiot can go into character map and see a symbol that looks remotely like a letter.

But it will continue, because nobody has the creativity to come up with a decent damn name.

Ah well.

To be utterly honest, I'm not sure. They both look pretty good, but the "mister" bit does also seem cool.

But I can't choose. Least it's not mIsTeR.

I have to agree, i hate it when people use symbols instead of letters it makes it very hard to read.

I'm still wondering whether misterhappy was better than Mr.Happy...

I do rather like the streamlined look though :-)
