    Well the origins of my nickname I'm not so sure about since I had it since elementary school but it was originally sky. When it was taken on another forum I changed it to skye and when that was taken on xbox live I changed it to skyye and when that was taken on gmail, it finally was skyye06.

    DancinGoalieHero94 abbreviated.
    I tap dance.
    I'm a goalie in hockey (ice).
    And I kick some major @$$ at Guitar Hero.
    94 is easy to guess.

    Im assuming 94 is your birthday. I wasn't aware people still tap danced. You do know that's p***y repellent right?

    back in 97 or 98 fallout 1 came out. I beat it maybe 30 times. Loved the dogmeat character and assumed the nick shortly there after.

    I also go by pixeldogmeat as well.

    first initial last name, its what i use nearly everywhere. hate remembering multiple screen names and which one goes with which site, so always stick to the same.

    that aside, i always find 'imaginary'/random/goofy screen names to come across as not trustworthy. i think if you deal with someone who shows you their RL name, it implies (usually) that that person isn't going to try to deceive you as much as someone who can hide behind a screen name.

    maybe its just me. you know, like how knights used to open their helmet visors when passing other knight as a sign of peace/trust/whatever.

    Geesh, I'm always late to the party!
    What great answers here from my fellow TA members!

    I chose mine from my iTunes account, trying to keep it all consistent.

    I love science, Astrophysics in particular. STRANGE, huh? (no pun for you quark fans out there :p )

    Dark Energy/Dark Matter....
    So, I am 90% of what makes up the universe.

    Eric Carman is the other 10%

    Because everything else out there is already taken. Hence the last untouched nick, Grumps.
