Names, signatures, avatars

My signature now consists of a link to my website, and a quote from Adam Savage (from Mythbusters).

I might add a reference to Weebl and Bob or similar in the future. Perhaps something about pies and donkeys.

Haha!! I love the quote... Before I actually saw it I guessed it would be that one

.: Name :. It's a reference to the Karma album with the song "Elizabeth".
When I registered on the Kamelot forum few years ago, I wanted to have a kinda kamelotian name so I've choose Erzébet as Karma is the first Kamelot album and also the first metal album I've listened to. Now it's the name I use most of the time on internet. Also some people prefers calling me that way... Don't know why...

.: Avatar :. I quickly looked up for an avatar when I registered and the first photo I've found was this one. Tobias Sammet !! I'm a great fan of this guy and of all he's done with Edguy and Avantasia !! And he's really cute on this photo... *

.: Signature :.
- The first part is some lyrics taken from a traditionnal breton lovesong called "An Hini A garan" that means "The One I love" in english. Most of the breton lovesong are sad, but "An hini a garan" is, for me, one of the most emotional songs... I really love it...
A quick english translation would be : "The one I love, I've lost him forever. He's gone far away and will never come back. And so I'm singing for the one I love."

-The second part are the links to the sites I'm dealing with.

oh, yes, got it now there are Tobi pics everywhere in your PC, so the 1st file you clicked on there was one to be picked up

I chose the name 'Admin' because it's kind of related to my job here . And my icon... well, long story, so I make it short. It is related to my Hungarian ancestors and the funny fact that they belonged to a certain class which had the tendency to... let's say... uhm... breed within the family to keep the blood clean, or, seen more worldly, to keep their political power within the family. Now, even more funny that this kind of small genetical pool leads to exactly the opposite what they intended: The risk for genetical mutations increases rapidly. Especially in Eastern Europe you had certain families carrying a certain alteration of red blood cells - comparably to the German family of the Hohenzollern and their hemophilia -, which results are one explanation for the origins of vampire tales. I save you the medical terms, but my dear forefathers did me the favour to pass on that 'gift', which for example led to the fact that I wouldn't be able to perform any blood transfusions (for example after bad concerts etc.).

And, yeah, in case you want to cancel now your trip to a Sons Of Seasons meeting: It is NOT contagious !

Very interesting? So are you a hemophilliac (I don't mean to be rude )

Back on topic: Is it weird to see pictures of yourself as people's avatars??? Do you care if we use the pictures?

Maybe I should stop talking about clinical symptoms here before it spreads . Let's start a topic 'My DNA & me'! But no, I was just using the Hohenzollern for an example. Nature's upgrade in this case is called Porphyria, although it's genetically recessive (did you attend your biology lessons or not?).

And double no: Why should I mind my face as an icon? Although in your case, Phantom, I didn't recognize myself until you mentioned it. Maybe you should become - like myself - a worshipper of the church of Xandra, Queen of Icons. Check out the topic 'Icons & Wallpapers'.

Haha alright. (I don't have biology until next year in school :P) And as for the picture that you didn't recognize: I know it's terrible. I was like 3 feet from the speakers and the camera was a cheap disposable so I couldn't get a great picture. (You guys sounded amazing on Oct. 20th btw, although the venue was a dump... no offense to you guys).

Argh ! I was sleeping during biology lessons (and Maths... and Physics... and.... hum) Fortunately, Wikipedia is my friend...
But the real question is : are you a vampire or not ???

can i join?

Just don't leave your windows open at night and say "No" when that voice from outside is asking for being invited in.

Now every time I wake up in the night, I'll be in a sweat shouting 'Oliver?! Is that you?!'

I'm scared

be careful... don't go too much on this way... or one morning when coming here you'll find 10 icons of a bloody-vampiric-Oli made by our almighty Queen...

*rushes to close the window and puts on the alarm*

You people make me blush! Stop it! I don't even know what to say. <--- that's my face.

Oh, Waënelin - don't feed me with ideas like that!

I hope it won't ruin my reputation as icon queen.

As contrast to the silly one, I have another one to offer. Thanks Waënelin, for the feedback while I was working on it! Your suggestions made all the difference.
