Straight from wiki because I'm lazy.
Impulse- "a wish or urge, particularly a sudden one."

Though... I think I picked it was simply because I couldn't think of anything and I just took a name from a Gundam and I thought it sounded cool at the time. Eheh. @_@;

I knew it! I knew it came from Gundam SEED Destiny :bellyroll:

Laika 06-09-2011 08:16 PM

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laika

Laika means Barker, aka the loud one, I don't think anyone I know would have a hard time agreeing that I deserve the name.

Laika was also the dog the soviets launched up into space on November 3rd 1957. She was the first animal in space and pioneered the way for human space travel. Kinda sad that the dog was pretty much fated to die in the name of science.

Similarly, I had some pretty bad health problems when I was younger and I had a similar fate. Now that I'm still alive I'm working on my way to doing something big in the name of science.

Also I was born on November 3rd. Probably just a coincidence since I'm not a girl :iono:

Was my mule character's name in FFXI. I liked it, so it became my gaming/forum handle.

dominican 06-10-2011 06:30 PM

ummmm, I'm dominican. It's also my tag on every other forum I frequent (which is a lot) My gamertag is dominicanbbq.

I choose Dominican as my online name because if you see me in real life, I look like a white guy. After some people learn of my name, they think I'm greek? italian maybe? No one ever guess that I'm Dominican, ever. Hence why I use Dominican as my tag.

How is the Dominican Replublic compared to the rest of the Carribean Islands?

Old School Toyota's

No school like old school!

Pretty much the same in terms of weather. We're one of the bigger islands but we share one side with Haiti, which is ok I guess. As with most other islands, tourism is the main source of income, followed by Nickel other precious metal deposits. If you'd live there, having a sports car is almost impossible due to the conditions of most of the roads and the way people drive. SUVs rule the road over there. Also, gas is like 5 dollars a gallon

farugah 06-17-2011 03:53 AM

Farugah is a character in a book I'm in the process of writing.
its also my gamertag for most things now.

Andrea Cristiano 06-19-2011 05:59 PM

mine is my first and middle name Andrea meaning manly and Cristiano meaning Christian

Want.FR-S 06-19-2011 07:16 PM

My screen name shows my desire to get this fr-s car. No, not the scion fr-s. I got my name when Toyota registered the trademark back in may/june 2010.

Franisco 06-20-2011 07:05 PM

Mine actually came from a typo put on one of my old baseball jerseys. My last name is Francisco; they missed the first 'c'

What is the meaning behind your username?
 
What does it mean/how did you pick it?

I'll give you a short story behind mine. I met a girl from my rival high school during an Academic Bowl competition. We had some mutual attraction initially :wub: . Few days later she hit a car in her blind spot while merging and sustained cuts/bruises/a cast. As she recovered I tried to console her thru AIM (it was the new rage back then) and made up a screen name "switchlanez" as a play on her incident and my last name: Lanez. Long story short she lost interest and dated some nerd on her team. I learned to be less a "nice guy" and more a "jerk" and got with a less studious, bad girl type shortly after. And my username stuck with me for years. The end. :happy0180:
