What's the inspiration behind your username?

Over the years my usernames have always been so cringy and edgy, like something an emo teenager would choose. This time I thought I'd try something that suits my personality. I've always been an antagonist, annoying friends and family alike, making bad jokes, so why not something to do with a jester? But I gotta make it clever right? How about a play on words? Jest instead of Just
Starcrossed · 41-45, F
I chose it because I was just as dramatic lovestruck and forlorn as one might suspect.
It started out on EP as S74RXED since Starcrossed was taken. Since I was still in that 'starcrossed' state [wanting to be with someone but unable] when I joined SW, I kept the name.

@Starcrossed mine has actually been taken on other platforms? Can you believe that? Man that makes me mad, its my name damn it!

JustNik · 51-55, F

JestAJester · 31-35, M
@JustNik hey whatever works
I was completing a Mindfulness Based Living course when I set up my account last year.
Not very original but seems a bit late to change it now.
@JestAJester To a degree you're right.
It can help with mental health issues, in particular anxiety.
But it's for anyone really.
It's about being focused in the moment, not being distracted or stressed by events that have passed or yet to occur.
It's a wonderful way to relax and live if you can.
JestAJester · 31-35, M
@Mindfulness Ive yet to master that, that's for sure
@JestAJester never too late to learn new skills, you're only young.
ArishMell · 70-79, M
No special reason for doing so but mine is a slightly modified form of the name of a small bay, Arish Mell (two words) on the SW English coast. I do not know its etymology. My profile photo is a Google Maps image of it.
JestAJester · 31-35, M
@ArishMell I was gonna say sounds almost like an Arabic name
ArishMell · 70-79, M
@JestAJester That's a thought! It's probably Saxon or Mediaeval English in origin.

Several,
Initially it was a Song title "I'll Wait, I Will Wait, Like A Stone, Wait."
There are several Biblical verses about waiting for GOD.

Psalm 106:13

They quickly forgot His works;
They did not wait for His counsel,

Hebrews 6:15

And so, having patiently waited, he obtained the promise

Job 29:21-23

“To me they listened and waited,
And kept silent for my counsel.
“After my words they did not speak again,
And my speech dropped on them.
“They waited for me as for the rain,
And opened their mouth as for the spring rain

It's a play on the Metallica song "Some Kind of Monster". A song I particularly enjoy.

I like having Herman Munster as my avatar its a good symbol for me.

I didn't think much about it when I was making an account.
My name is Bob and I live in Texas.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
I'm a guy who likes to dress in black, but I have a very hot temper. It also sounds vaguely magical, or magickal if you prefer. The honorific "The Sarcastic" wasn't added until years later. I've also gone by "Lord Shadowfire". Originally, this was because I was annoyed at a passage in "Buckland's Complete Book Of Witchcraft" that said female practitioners are allowed to use the honorific Lady, but male practitioners don't get to use the term Lord. And I was like, "Fuсk you, Ray, I'll do what I want."
JestAJester · 31-35, M
@LordShadowfire sorry bro I like ya and all but it sounds like a handle for an edgelord emo teenager
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@JestAJester I get that a lot, but at this point, it feels too much like my name.
JestAJester · 31-35, M
@LordShadowfire fair enough bud. if it works for ya
