User Names

I know that one

Good idea for a thread!

Banslug...when my Beach Volleyball team was looking for a team naem to call ourselves, we couldn't agree on anything creative. So the captain had us think of a fruit - BANANA. Then an insect or bug - SLUG. We became the Banana Slugs. I shortened it to banslug for user names on almost everything I visit.

Funny thing is, we found out there is a college somewhere in the US whose mascot actually IS a Banana Slug!

Its Santa Cruz. No kidding, I know banana slugs. And don't ever kiss one, it makes your tongue go tingly or numb.
 
its a yoga style of breathing

Rapid Breath of fire. And its a doozy. The first time I did it I lasted about 15 seconds and I thought my head was going to explode. Its also etched onto my ipod.

Real name is Alisha.
 
Mine is simple--my dad always called me Fig (still does, actually) and everyone else calls me Lainie (though my official name is Elaine). Hence, lainiefig. I use it everywhere except where I go by fitnessfig.
 
Well I get up at 4 am, actually 3:54am every morning to workout with Cathe and the crew. So of course everyone always asks "Do you still get up at 4am...So that is what I am known for. The crazy girl that gets up at 4 to work out. They just can not understand why someone would do that.:D

It's a combination of two of my favorites. Cardio Coach HIIT training and my doggies who are my running buddies. CardioCoachdogs had no flow to it, so hiitdogs it was :D:D

I do get a lot of questions though, if my name means that I beat my dogs :eek: So for the record, no I don't hit my dogs, it is HIIT High Intensity Interval Training.
 
If there's any Howard Stern fans on Cathe's forum, they'll understand my username. It's what Howard calls his producer Gary.
 
Mine is my cat's name Jaffa. I don't remember why I added the s. Maybe jaffa was already taken. Anyway the s was for my other cat, Slinky.
 
"Song to the Siren" was a song I loved by This Mortal Coil, back when I was in art school. TMC's version has a strong middle eastern feel to it and it's just lovely.

Many years later I fell in love with the music of Jeff Buckley and was devastated when he drowned in a river in Memphis. After he died I read and listened to everything having anything to do with him (a psychic told me he was my closest friend in a prior life and that we were wicked drunks...) that's when I found out Jeff's father, Tim Buckley, wrote "Song to the Siren." Blew my mind.

Calling myself SirenSongWoman is my way of honoring a beloved song from a wonderful time in my life and, through his father, Jeff Buckley as well.
 
I used to run alot (my favorite cardio) and like others on this forum it was my only form of cardio. Several of my coworkers and friends had mentioned how crazy I was for how much I ran and the fact that I ran regardless of weather etc. Anyway that morphed into runcrazy and alas it became my screen name. But I can't run so much any more due to a knee issue so I'm some other form of crazy but not sure what that is! (Maybe it's STS crazy right now!)

Anyway, I thought about changing it when the forum changed but I didn't. That's just me!

Jo :D

I am right there with you Rachel! (Well, I get up at 3:59 so you have me beat by 5 minutes. :p) I'm just a morning person by nature and I like it that way. I have time to do my workout and whatever else I need to do because everyone else in the house is asleep.

I know some people who work out in the evening, my husband included. I'm in bed before 8 pm (right after I put the kids to bed) and he's just getting changed to go exercise and lift. I could NEVER work out at night!

I'm right there with you, too. I love mornings. Although I'm up by 4:30 am to workout. I'm in bed after I put the girls to sleep (usually about 8:30 pm). My DH jokes that the girls will be putting me to bed soon:p
 
My screen name is from a vanity plate on the car ahead of me on a very long morning commute into Boston. 40 minutes in, listening to the honks, the very unfriendly gestures shared between cars rolling into the 2 lanes of the Sumner Tunnel I adopted Ly10up as my forever screen name.

When the silly stuff gets you in a knot...Ly10up
