• My Username...

  Before I change my name (witch will be sometime soon) I thought I would tell you the origins of my name.  Of course I'll tell you about the number first.

  So 7 and 9 are my favorite numbers.

  (it does not have anything to do with the fact that 7 of 9 is my favorite Star Trek character no).

  Anyway, I've always had this thing for the number 7, you can find a lot of references, myths and stories about the number 7. Plus, 7 is supposed to be lucky, and it's considered to be the most magical number by some. 

  Anyway, the 9, why I like 9 is a bit of a mystery to me. It probably has something to do with the fact that i HATE the number 6. When you turn 6 upside down it makes a 9 (sometimes considering how you draw your nines).  666 is considered to be an evil number, so my logic was that since when you turn 6 upside down it makes a nine, nine must be a good number because it's the exact opposite of 6.  Weird reasoning I know.  I just plain like the number 9 besides that reason. 

  Anyway, about the name. It started out on an internet message board (that no longer exists). I was known as SailorSunstar (it was a Sailor Moon board). One day I decided to change my name. I was thinking of star names because I love stars. I also love things that have t do with angels. Somehow I put the two together and thought up starlight_angel as my username. That was my username for almost a year.

  When I made this Xanga account 3 years ago it was still my name on those boards so i used to to sign up on Xanga. As you see I have not changed it yet seeing as I have not used this account until 3 days ago ever since the first day I signed up.  I didn't really like Xanga back then and I never used it and eventually forgot about it until 3 days ago.

  My username evolved in a lot of ways. After I stopped using it I was just known as Starlight, then I was known as just Star, or Star-chan for a while.  Then I went through a whole bunch of other unrelated usernames. Eventually after a long period of changing names all the time on those boards I started to think up another name that would stick. I was thinking of the name Stary, that seemed to common to me, then somehow I thought up putting a y after it and it became Starya. I have been using that name for various games and boards ever since I thought it up. I believe it has been almost 2 years since then.

  I don't plan on using Starya for my Xanga account seeing as I use it for everything else. I want to be a bit more creative than that when I think up a new username for this account. I already have a list of possibilities.

  Anyway, I guess that's all I have to say about that.
