Well, I thought this might be an interesting way for people to meet each other. Let's see how many people we can get. You don't give out your full location, just a state, province, or country, or county. As for your nickname, why did you choose it and feel free to give part or all of your first name.

As for me, I live in the U.S. state of Minnesota. I chose my nickname mainly because I couldn't think of a better one and I was holding one of my chinchillas at the time. The letter C at the end is for my first name, Chastity.
So, there you go.

chinchillac
Chas

I'm Angela, and I got my nickname from an old chat program I use to go on back in 2001 or so. I had a really boring nickname on there, think it was Angel or something, so then I decided I wanted something better. So I decided to change it between Jewel and Jasmin, and the vote was for Jasmin and I liked the way it sounded, lol. I wasn't thinking of the Disney movie aladdin at all. lol. People always use to ask me, so you're princess Jasmin? And I was like, oh crap I forgot about that movie, lol. Plus that Jasmine is spelled with an E, but that's not that important, lol. I use to have Jasmin as my user name on the zone a while ago, but then someone hacked into my account, and I had to get a different user name and create another account. So anyway, as for this user name, I like music and animals, so I decided songbird, but then put the 83 on the end because that's the year I was born since I'm 26 years old now. So that's my little story. This is interesting to know. I was always wondering why people chose whatever nicknames they had, if it was different or just stood out, and I dunno why I never posted this question to, but I'm glad you did.

Byron from Vancouver British Columbia Canada. I chose mine because it's a varient of what I used when I first started broadcasting for a station in 2005. But I use renegade rocker every elce, because it was a handle I created in colege in 1996. It started out as eddie renegade for security reasons, because of going out to bars at the time, but that got changed when a lady friend and I were driving to get lunch. I was like this eddie renegade handle works nicely, and she's like you're quite the rocker as well, and renegade rocker stuck ever since then.

Rachel from A really popular city in Los Angeles California.

Okay, I must admit, I don't like my username very much, but can't change it so I must deal with it, I suppose. It's better than Stargazer777 though, definitely...

I am Rachel obviously, am philosophical and I used friendly because... at the time, I wanted to catch people's attention I suppose.

Bozmagic? Boz, short for Bozzle or Boris is probably the most magical, soft, gentle, loving dog I've ever met, yes, he is a Rottie, but with them, it is not, the dogs, it is the bloody irresponsible owners of some of them out there that turn them bad. My user name, simplified, is litterally, Boris magic, magical boris/bozzle/boz, whatever, lol.
