I was 14 and 'beatstick' was taken.

I've been stickbeat ever since. Wherever I want anonymity, stickbeat's my handle.

Sometimes I'll add a dot.

Fontaine is from my favorite video game called Bioshock, which has an old abandoned feel to it so it was fitting. Its also my xbox live name. I added the miss because fontaine wasnt available.

Ganesha is a Hindu deity whose specialties include the removal of obstacles and creative writing. He has an elephant head, so you might guess that he's got a really good memory. These are all attributes of Ganesha's that I'm aspiring to.

Short for Speed Racer

Many years ago I was BIG into drag racing (bracket raced and chased points every weekend) and one of the old timers where I worked at the time nicknamed me Speed Racer. Been using it online ever since.
Contrary to popular belief it has nothing to do with meth.

Well short version is my username is lyrics from a song but having dealt with mental health issues myself I have gained a tremendous amount of inner strength from it and that to me is the beautiful part of it.

There isn't one, really. I just made up the term "unlighted" cause it sounds "exploring'ish" and put a zero after it cause I could. It's fairly lame but it was either that or sexy6t9r, I figured.

I've been using this name for everything as long as I can remember. I chose it while using a random name generator many years ago, and it's stuck ever since. Never had any issues with it being taken already.

Spent a month doing field work with crazy archaeologists and MeoW was my nick-name. Mainly because I had a bunch of epic cat shirts

The number is my former screen name. It's not a phone number. (Well, it might be a phone number somewhere. You could call it and find out.)

I used to work in IT; my co-workers and I made passwords more challenging by substituting numbers for letters that resembled the letters. Another way to do this is to use numbers whose Roman-numeral equivalent is the letter you need.

So, I converted a piece of personal information into a screen name that was really clever and ugly. Afterward I was sorry.

When I signed up for my first internet forum in my teens, I was reading a book about this dude, and decided that "Baldran/de Graaf" would make a good handle. I shortened it here for some reason, and now I use it everywhere.

Interesting. I had meant to ask you the reason for that name at some point.
