Need answers fast! šŸ˜› Okay, so Iā€™ve had faithfool forever and I do believe itā€™s time for a change. So, Iā€™m turning to the teeming millions to help me come up with something different and exciting. To assist your attempts, hereā€™s some information about meā€¦ \*Love all things 70s \*Baseball fanatic (Go Rangers!) \*Consumes horror movies and books like the zombie apocalypse is already upon us \*Neo-hippie \*Favorite color is green \*Staunch GLBT advocate \*Amateur photographer \*Enjoys cooking The best way to sum me up is that Iā€™m a 45 year old 8 year old. šŸ˜ƒ And I dunno what else. Just ask if you need any more, well, stuff. Now, fire away and letā€™s re-christen me. Iā€™ve got the champagne bottle ready! Thanks mucho!! ---

How about a variation on ā€œfool on the hillā€ if you want to stay closer to your current name and like the Beatles at all? Horror movies: ā€œ[The Final Girl](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_girl)ā€ or something like that? Alternately, one of the category names from [TVTropes](http://www.tvtropes.org) may provide some help. ---
