Amazing film and if you haven't seen it, GO WATCH NOW <3

It's my middle name.
Didn't really feel comfortable sharing my real name.
And I didn't want to not have a name for people to identify me with.
Like having my name as, I don't know "purplepig".. would have been weird because I'd feel like a computer if everyone called me purplepig all the time. It's not me, it's not a name.. so yeah I chose my middle name

^Mmmmm...mangoes...
The Evee part of mine came from Evidamment vivante, French for Clearly/Obviously alive. I made it at a time I was feeling particularly invisible. Later I saw that it was EV...like Evee...the best pokémon after Charmander. I also like the way it ties into Eve, Evening, Ever...there are lots of good Ev words.
The silly is just a fitting adjective...for everything: me, life, pokémon, French...
--EV--

Hum...I don't really know why I came up with my name. But I use it for almost everything.
I first created it for a Monster Hunter account...I think I wanted to have something to do with fire or something...
Oh yeah! I kinda remember. I was obsessed with the pokemon houndoom for a while which is a dark fire type (*nerd...except having the name DarkFire sounds kinda lame and blaze sounded a lot better...so DarkBlaze it is!
13 was added because it's my favorite number (or at least, that's why I add it now. At the time I think it was because I was 13)

Slight embarrassment now.
I joined TeenHelp nearly two years ago, back at the end of fourth year. Soon before my ...joination, I'd been chatting with friends when the topic of eating each other came up (Don't ask.) and one of them remarked that I'd be 'bitesized' because I wouldn't be more of a mouthful to eat, due my size (or lack thereof.) the name stuck for a wee bit (although no one reeeally calls me bitesize anymore) and bitesize seemed an appropriate username around the time. And of course everyone here only knows me as bitesize, so after The Mighty TH Crash of '08, I chose the same one again. Kinda like it now. (:

My boyfriend calls me the Alysaurus Rex. Alyssa => Ali/Aly => Alysaurus. It stuck with other friends too. Which I guess is kind of bad since I know other people who know me use this site and know I use it but don't know my username... Oh well. >w< I think it's cute.

Mine's from a book. It's called 'Dragonsinger' from the Dragon Riders of Pern series.
Because I used to love dragons

my wonderful, smashing, totally fabulous name
okay, not all of those words.. but still, just my name :P
i used to have a screen-name of 'jovv' which was my nickname (jo) plus v's. no idea why i had two v's, just something i had.. it had no purpose. hah.
maybe our relationship isn't as crazy as it seems.
maybe that's what happens when a tornado meets a volcano.
all i know is that i love you too much to walk away.

I kept my name the same as before.
EMO = coz I'm emotional and taken less literally - I like emos and I went through a bit of a phase as one
QEHS = Queen Elizabeth's High School - I was at school when I googled 'self harm' and teenhelp came up

Well. Mosh4Jesus was my original... And complications arose. Then Lily of The Valleys was too long, I believe. So xHolyValorx was the next one in line that I liked. I used it in runescape.

I have trouble coming up with good names, so I just do whatever I can think of. Whenever I'm in chat rooms I use the term "LMFAO" often... So I just decided LMFAOsabrina would be good enough. (If you didnt figure it out, my name is Sabrina.)

Feel free to talk to me if you ever need someone, I know how it can feel to be lost, to be found, to be disappointed and hurt. I also know that it can always get better!
