Sorry, if I disappointed any MiddleEarthCrisis fans out there.
I just figured I needed something with a little more ambiguity.

We thought it was funny because Earth Crisis took themselves pretty seriously.
I've been thinking about asking Tom if I can change it.
Truth be told I don't even like Earth Crisis and I've never seen or read Lord of The Rings.
Fun Fact: My favorite stupid band name we came up with was ST/DC.
My avatar is Goliath's head from my favorite painting.

Caravaggio-David With The Head Of Goliath
i went through a huge caravaggio phase when i was trying to be an "artist"

My friend said I looked like a Fred, my real name is nate. So it kind of stuck, hell most of my friend's parents think my name is Fred. Some guy on another forum started calling me Fuzzy Fred because I like fuzz, and i guess it kind of stuck or something.
I don't have an avatar because i'm too stupid/lazy to put one up

Unown's name is better in German. It's Icognito.
My name came from seeing my friend's Joy Division Substance shirt from far away and not recognizing it. I was all confused and announced that bubstance was my official internet name, and so it is. My avatar is Vault Boy from the Fallout franchise. I love me some Fallout.

Bassus lat. bass and
Sanguinis lat. blood

..so my username can simply be translated that
I play that bloody bass.
It all derives really from my old band. And the pic is me on stage. Pretty boring, isn't it.

I thought about coming up with some ridiculous story behind my user name, but the truth is that it's my real name. I guess I was feeling lazy and unimaginative the day I signed up.
My avatar is just some random picture I came across somewhere, but I do like cats. I believe it was actually an obnoxious .gif but I guess I fucked that up when I set it as my avatar, but I never cared enough to try to fix it. Speaking of which, it's probably time for me to change my avatar, I think this may be the longest I've gone with the same picture.
Oh and MEC = Mountain Equipment Co-op, it's a big camping/outdoorwear company in Vancouver.
