THE ORIGIN OF MY NAME

Bolded, italicized, and underlined because this is important for future fans :D

It all began in middle school, where one of my friends let me use his subscription to the ever popular popular MMORPG World of Warcraft (ooooooooo, aaaaahhhhh...)

Making my first toon was a huge event in my life, and something inside of me at the time knew that, so I decided to put an enormous amount of effort into naming it. Hearing so much about the game from other friends plus spending time reading the strategy guide on the bus rides home gave me opportunity to preform what kind of character I wanted to be while traversing Azeroth.

                                                         DWARF HUNTER  (woahhh guy, chill out..)

Ok then, what are some names suitable for a dwarf? During middle school I discovered the writings of R.A. Salvatore and the answer was clear to me: DRIZZT DO'URDAN!!! Obviously the perfect name for my Dwarf hunter. (Drizzt Do'Urdan was the name of R.A. Salvatore's most popular character, who's lineage stems from a long line of Dark Elves and had absolutely nothing do do with a Dwarf..)

So I typed it into the name field: NAME UNAVAILABLE. Um... ok, how about Drizzt...
NAME UNAVAILABLE. Uh... fine. What about DrizztDo... NAME.IS.NOT.AVAILABLE.

FINE THEN.

So I settled for the next best dwarf out there... IVAN BOULDERSHOULDER!!!! Who wouldn't want to share a name with such a rough and tumble lone warrior and his trusted sidekick Pikel? (ME BRUDDAH!)

I typed it in: Ivanbouldershoulder and hastily hit the create button!

Character Created: Ivanboulders

NICE hey wait... what?!

Nobody told me about the 12 character limit AND SO "Ivan" was brought forth into the world... of warcraft!

From that moment on, all of my gamer tags and screen names have been variations of the original:
Ivan the Boulder, Ivanshoulders, Ivan the Shoulder, IvanMeteor, Ivan, Ivan the Sediment..ious

All of them Ivan and something to do with a rock or a shoulder.

So what have you gathered about me from this second post? That I am a gamer? An idea sharer? or maybe a fan of fantasy and possibly sciencefiction?

Well yes that... but most importantly you should have picked up on the fact that I am impulsive and act before I think... but hey, at least I think, even if it comes second.
