  • At the time I was working full time and also had a part time job, working a further 18 hours. I felt as though I was 'Always Working', hence the name....which has haunted me since - I've been made redundant from both jobs this year!!!

    Haha mine is lame.

    I like the band Evanescence, but in my goth days i loved them so much i had to have a username and i came up with EvanescencesAngel.

    But that was far to long, so it became Evansangel :)

    And i've used it since like forever :D
  • My name, for the younger ones, is a character from TISWAS, the late 70's, early 80's kids Saturday morning TV show.

    I don't really know why I chose it, but I've been using it for as long as I can remember on PC's. I used it back in the mid 90's on the PC's at work as my high score name in Minesweeper. :)

    I then used it for every forum I signed up for, including DigitalSpy, Net4Nowt (now gone), AVForums, Ezboard (now Yuku), ADSLGuide (now ThinkBroadband), thescream.co.uk, and many others.

    There was a time, before the resurgence of the 80's and TISWAS, that an early search in Yahoo for Phantom Flan Flinger brought up lots of pages of my posts in between the mention of PFF on TISWAS. Most of these posts were over on the Ezboard forums.
    Dave. :wave:
  • I was pregnant with my first "star" bump at the time. Of course, number #2 bump was just as lovely. ((hugs)) my babies. :)
  • Lipgloss is my real life nickname, however it was taken, so I added on the Pink.

  • Mine is a song name called "Kind Of A Girl" yes I spelt it wrong when I joined lol

    The band is Tinted Windows which features a member of my fav band Taylor Hanson from Hanson (other members are James Iha from Smashing Pumpkins, Bun E Carols from Cheap Trick and Adam Schelsinger from Fountains of Wayne)

    Cos I was skint, and I'm a girl (chick), so skintchick was born, although if I could change it I'd use Skinty instead now, as that's what people on here call me.
