on dxp and why?

Mine originated about 4 years ago when I found this site and at that time I wanted answers about my childhood sweetheart who was back on the scene after many years. Such an addictive site, I eventually looked it back up again almost a year ago. Some of the names here are quite intriguing, so let us in...

I use to be Guessflowers on here many years ago until I forgot my pass word. I got that name from a girl I went to High School with, she acutally wanted to name her daughter Guessflowers one day. My current name is Klover because I love the name and Fish because I'm the best sign in the zodiac!

This was the name of one of my characters on world of warcraft. I chose it because I couldn't think up of anything better at that time.

1st off, i'm a ninja so that's self-explanatory. mu is a nickname my ex gave to me years ago. it originates from a rather popular zen buddhist koan called 'joshu's mu'. that koan is often the first lesson given to aspiring monks.

This kinda describes it.

As a Gem suppose to have two sides "good" and "bad"
well, I am human, I have them both, which in turn means I am a perfect Gem, LOL and I want to be the "good gem" so with that, I strive for it, to keep the "bad" under control and if at all possible, buried, another screen name I have "monkeyonalimb" "saddlesandspurrs" "a possibility angel"

all have different reasons and different sites attached some similar others not so similar, but it does show, as a human, as a gem, i have many "sides" are characteristics that make up lil ole ME! (big grin)

Noire- French for Black, Black is my Favorite color, I'm an African woman.

Capricorn-My Sign

Princess- Nickname given to me by an ex and some family. Royalty by birth, Grandfather was an Igwe which is an African Traditional Ruler so if I were to really live up to it I'd be officially known as a Princess, however I am in the U.S. so that only applies back home.
Put them all together and you get= NoireCapricornPrincess

Many moons ago I worked with a retired cop, I was 20 at the time and very spunky and quick with rebuttals- he would always try to test me with new words of the day- and I’d always have a quick comeback. So the nick name Sassy came....

I carried it for years and when I came on this site that’s what name popped in my head.

Even though I haven’t been that quite Ssasy person for quite some time- but every now and again she comes out.

"Undines are almost invariably depicted as being female, and are usually found in forest pools and waterfalls. [...] Although resembling humans in form, they lack a human soul, so to achieve mortality they must acquire one by marrying a human. Such a union is not without risk for the man, because if he is unfaithful, then he is fated to die."

Right so, hehe πŸ˜„ Although I'm not sure why am I supposed to strive "to achieve mortality"....?!
