What does your avatar and name mean?

Well, my name was honestly just pulled out of my butt, literally. I joined the website becuase I used it for about 7 months and always wanted to post, but never did. So one day I said screw it and threw together ElDorito. My avatar is Venom, who is by far the coolest supervillian ever (at least in Marvel...) It flashes nice thanks to Oni! thanks again.. Curious what yours means...

I'm getting in on this thread pretty late, but oh well...here goes...

Abraxas is a gnostic meta-god, encompassing both good and evil. I use it basically as a homage to Herman Hesse (one of my favorite authors.) When I read Demian for the first time at around age 17, it struck a very deep chord in me and left me--yes, I know this is the epitome of cliche--forever changed. Abraxas is brought up in the novel, and it made an indelible impression on me.

The avatar...well up until just now, really, I was using one of Bob Ross. Why? Frankly, because Bob Ross was the Man (and I mean that in the good way--not in the fiendish corporate conglomerate CEO-type way.) And that fro he had...how can you top that? I figured it was time for a change, though, so now I think I'll stick with this one for a while, which is original Radiohead artwork, Kid A-era. Stumbling across Radiohead back in high school was another landmark event in my life, and their music will always have a special place in my heart.

God, I sound so gushy...

my name's eddy, and 1134 is from one of those "magic square" things. basically, a magic square is a bunch of numbers arranged in a square (duh!) that have all the rows & columns & two diagonals add up to the same number (termed the "magic constant" of the magic square). i know, i know- i'm a dorky math geek. this particular magic square was a super-magical square that also had the four corners of the square add up to the same magical constant (which was 1134).

i've been using the 1134 suffix ever since high school- seems like all the "eddy" login ids & email addresses were already taken by the time i became internet conscious (wouldn't have thought so many eddys would have had parents who misspelled their names!), so i had to add something to it to make it unique.

the avatar's from the same game where lucca and the frog are from (chrono trigger)... i saw the "lucca" (aka "girl") and "frog" avatars in the default avatar choices, and thought i'd join in on the chrono trigger references. so, voila- it's magus!

crimson because it was part of a nickname I had back when I was a senior in high school, the crimson goddess named because of my red hair (surprise surprise!) I shortened it to be less egotistical!

The avatar is a painting by one of my favorite artists, Georgia O'Keefe. Always liked the painting. Smilie
