Nickname explanations?
Barrucadu:
Back in the day (2000ish), my brother and I were avid BYOND users. I went my the imaginative name Mikor, being named Michael, and he tried to use "Barracuda", but spelled it wrong.
Being the imaginative, creative person that I am who never copies anything, I stole the name from him.
pipitugaboy:
pipi used to be my nickname (LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOONG STORY)
But used it back in the old days so I made this...
Now finaly gotten rid of it (I really hate it now xD).
Wish I could change it, since I'm going through as Curapica now =P
But to bad u can't and I don't feel like whiping out my stats on BBT.
Rhodanum:
I went through a few uninteresting variations of my real-life name before settling on this user-name almost three years ago. 'Rhodanum' is a Latin word and it is the Accusative form of the 'Rhodanus' noun -- which is the Latin name for the river Rhone.
I found while translating a fragment from Caesar's Comentarii de Bello Gallico (Commentaries on the Gallic War) for that week's Latin class, during which he spoke about the geography of what is modern-day France. The mention of the Rhone stuck with me simply because I liked its Latin name -- and on a whim I started using the Accusative form as my online handle shortly after the fact (I didn't go with the Nominative -- Rhodanus -- simply because the '-us' ending seemed rather over-used in names derived from Latin).

so you decided to use the latin name that some river has in somewhere in this world, well done!
VisionError:
The First Anime I finished and the one that strangely enough started my addiction was Chaos;Head, and I remembered in the OP 2 words, (The only ones I could understand) were Vision Error. Considering I couldn't get the damn song out of my head for weeks "VisionError" kinda stuck, and I just sorta started using it as a screen name for stuff.
