Mine stems from my hotmail address. My name is pretty common so tons of variations of my name were taken. I tried many other things that I like but alas, many other people seem to be into Star Trek or Jimmy Buffet enough so that the email address for MrSpock or CheeseburgerNParadise were also taken.
So I started with animals. By the time I got to zebra I was pretty flabergasted. Zebra was taken would I like to be Zebra673? NO! zebrazebra? zebrazebra is taken would you like to be zebraebra97? zebrazebra123! Congratulations zebrazebra123 welcome to hotmail.
So now I’m zebra. When I found out tha UK people say the word as if it rhymes with Debra, I was a little taken aback.
Anu-la is what my parents used to call me when I was a baby.
It’s pretty stupid because I stuck my real (well, real nickname) name in there, which I rarely do on the internet. Generally I go by monkeywearingchaps or monkey online.

Dan Rydell: Come with us.
Casey McCall: Where?
Dan Rydell: El Perro Fumando.
Casey McCall: “The Smoking Dog”?
Dan Rydell: Yes.
Casey McCall: Why?
Dan Rydell: If you wear something blue, you get $2 off a giant blue margarita.
Casey McCall: You know, I make a pretty good living. I can actually afford to wear what I want and pay full price.
Dan Rydell: I’m not promoting the economic upside as much as I am the opportunity to drink something giant and blue.

What can I say? I’m a fan of blue drinks!
I was going to go with Only Mostly Missus since that’s how Only Mostly Dead referred to me, but I wanted to be my own person.

My college mascot was the Orediggers my number on the football team was 77. yep creative jock type over here. By the way if you look up the team there is a poster from our confrence championship in '04 that has a great shot of my butt in spandex.

And all this time I thought you were a Cockney fan of prostitutes.
I have a tattoo of a Leafy Sea Dragon on my left upper arm. All but location probably pretty obvious. Wanted to use something gender ambiguous. I am female. Writing. Like. A robot.
I knew a dude who would always say “No doubt!” when somebody would testify. So this name is a pun on that, and suggests that I’ve reached the limit of my thinking, which happens a lot.

I have a vaguely clever LJ name that was from an old CompuServe acct, but I didn’t want to use that here. Instead, I thought I’d highlight my break from my Catholic (not catholic) upbringing. I’ve always wondered if I could actually get someone to excommunicate me. I think I’d enjoy the ceremony.
Anyway, when I feel like figuring out a way to define myself by something I am instead of something I’m not, I’ll probably change it. Plus it’s long (although oddly, not long enough; I needed one more character to put breaks between the 3 segments).
