This is both a specific and general question, because I noticed AUSSIEABORIGINAL.. and i just pondered.

AUSSIEABORIGNINAL: Im assuming you nick is a description of something you attribute to ureself, am i right? If this is the case, i would just like to ask why you chose this name? THIS IS IN NO WAY AN ATTACK ON U!! Im just curious as to way you chose this as your nick. Okay, so obviously it is who u are, but is it intended to make everyone aware of your origins? if so, why do you feel that this is important for people to know?.... I am just asking, this is all... its just interesting for me, because I have just been studying australian aboriginals, and it is interesting to see who actually adopts the title and who doesnt, and their reasons....


has anyone else got interesting reasoning behind their name?

Let us dissect my screenname, in a literal sense:

Blue - Low spirits; a fit of despondency; melancholy.

Soul - The animating and vital principle in humans, credited with the faculties of thought, action, and emotion and often conceived as an immaterial entity.

Robot - A person who works mechanically without original thought, especially one who responds automatically to the commands of others.
---==========+==========---
So basically, I'm a gloomy spirit trapped within a vessel of conformity. :eek: :(

Other inspirations: Isaac Asimov's books, where the robots are great. The %'s are just because they look cool. :D And..because a robot with a soul is an oxymoron...for now. :eek: (*dun dun duuuuun*) :D

Nova- To be honest i originally got the online nickname Nova from Mechwarrior. I liked the mech called Nova a lot. But in the years after, i have found that it also is fitting because i like space. Also, Nova means new, which fits me because i like coming up with new ideas, etc., as well as the idea of joining an online community as a sort of "new beginning" because nobody there knows me.
