Some of you have very interesting user names. I know some are obvious, some are personal, but those of you who want to explain- what does your name mean?

ForeverMourn is something I came up with 6 or 7 years ago when I needed a new screename. I outgrew SlickChick11, hahahahaha.

My brother mentioned ForeverMourn, and voila. Here I am. ^_^

I think I use ForeverMourn on just about everything I am registered with, except YT, BRM01.

There's a tread around here someone for handles, but it's long since been buried. So I'll gladly go again :)

My handle comes from the cyberpunk novel, Neuromancer. In it, Wintermute is a Swiss AI, and one of the main characters. He's also Neuromancer's brother, so to speak. When I was looking for a new handle back in the day, I had just reread the novel, and I took Wintermute as my handle and have been using it since the late 80s/early 90s :)

I searched and searched for a thread about this before I posted but couldn't find it. Cyberpunk novel, Wintermute? I learn something new everyday.

I couldn't think of something creative when I made a username on Xanga....*deleted accounts since then ;)*

Sooo

I thought of nobackspacebutton

In life, there is No Backspace Button.

You can't go back.
What's done is done.

Life is .. life...just keep living.

Learn from the past; don't try to go back.
Make ammends, try harder next time...anything...but there is no going back.
Memories will always be just memories.

Today or no day. =)

I'm hoping we all can be Tivo'd someday.

When you are listening to the radio in the car, do you ever reach for the buttons to replay what you just heard and then get upset because your radio is not Tivo'd?

Can a broken kid every be fixed, or at least patched up? Bree may have some extra bandaids.
