On a good day I’m up around 5 AM, but I often find myself up even earlier than that. I joined my first Lemmy instance during one of these bouts of insomnia, prompting my username.
My avatar is from a worldbuilding project I work on.
The first part is just an alias and doesn’t really have an interesting story
The second part is the airport code of the city I lived in when this account was created. I was actually quite curious if anyone could have guessed that without me saying it out loud
I chose my username when I was still a teenager, originally with the meaning that I’m a nerd, but not like an amazing or extremely smart nerd, nor extremely awkward. Just your average guy with autism and nerdy on particular subjects.
I’ve mostly kept with it because it’s how most of my online friends know me, and I still think it’s part of my identity, although I’ve since developed interests that a stereotypical nerd might not have such as cycling, mountain biking, travelling and hiking.
A long time ago my when my little brother was in first grade, he got a homework sheet where he had to unscramble a bunch of names. I thought this scrambled version sounded cool, and have been using it as username everywhere ever since.
I’m a fan of the poem and have had this name for 30+ years.
M is the first letter in my real name and 137 is my favorite/lucky number. I made my avatar about a decade ago, inspired by synthwave music and style (specifically after seeing waveshaper play live).
We call someone who can’t do anything right, or is “useless”,“un zero a l’esquerra”, a zero to the left (as in the zero in 01, which is the same as 1, making the 0 irrelevant).
I consider myself one such zero to the left, but that’s too long, so leftzero. 🤷♂️
Also… lemmy has profile pictures…?
Kinda/remotely/vaguely is the phonetic version of the surname my best friend gave me some 40+ years ago.
The avatar is a red blob hinting at what I’m into (plus my name) ;)
There’s this epic show called Psych. Hidden pineapples appear in pretty much every episode and movies.
Probably misremembered term from an Anne Rice novel. Google gives me nothing. As such it seems pretty unique.
My name is Joseph, and a lot of kids mispronounce it as “Jofish” or something similar. I can’t remember who actually started the nickname for me, but it caught on. It doesn’t hurt that I enjoy being in and around water anyway.
Somehow it just seemed to tie things together.
It’s kind of the slogan of my state
Moved from one end of my country all the way to another not too long ago, and I’ve felt like a fish outta water since. Or, an Outwatered Fish.
Lemmy has avatars? I don’t see them, and I don’t want to. It’s one of the annoyances with new reddit. I just have no use for them, nor do want to waste space seeing anyone elses.
My username? If you know you know, if you don’t you wouldn’t care anyways.
Mash up of minglewood and August West.
Reference to a bad* movie that I think everyone forgot. Except for me… Making sure that movie won’t be forgotten. (Well, I think its bad)
Never bothered with an avatar.
