Back in 1997, I decided to try out this newfangled thing called "the internet". I got an AOL account, and shortly afterward was stalked online by a mentally imbalanced female. So I decided to change my username to shake her off.
Right about the same time, I got hooked on this new game called Quake 2. I needed to come up with a gaming name so I could play online. I wanted a nickname that was dark and foreboding, to impress the gaming community.
I decided to kill two birds with one stone, so to speak, and use the same nickname for both. So, sitting there at the computer, trying to think of a cool nickname, I remembered a scary story my father once told me about a black tree that snatches up children and eats them.
I liked the name so much that I kept using it. Now, I use that nickname almost everywhere.
I almost forgot: I live in Florida, USA.

Sounds so familiar and all I see is names with the same idea behind it...Blacktree wrote:I wanted a nickname that was dark and foreboding, to impress the gaming community.
I took a "dull" name and don't regret it
