Combination of my husband's call sign and mine (was at a remote base where spouses brave - or stupid - enough to stay a while got named), and when we lived in the Mojave we saw plenty of tumbleweeds blowing past...that's kinda the way we live, blown about, going wherever the winds take us...never really putting down roots.

Kinda shiftless and aimless, really, looking at it from that angle...

Like I mentioned before (in one of the threads) I have a dictionary unique to me, about 4 years ago i gave a lot of thought to make up a msn ID that stood out. This is what i came up with and stuck to it since for my all around online id.I guess twisted refers to my personality which can be unruly and rebellious sometimes I'm usually calm and quiet tho

I seem to have a problem keeping the same user name for differant websites. It's like, everytime I register with a new site, my old name is already taken, go figure. As far as "chasing a dream" goes, My biggest dream is to travel europe. I've been all over the USA, but never europe. Everytime I make plans to go to europe, something happens to keep me from going, lost job, travel partners back out, family problems, ect. So it's like I'm alwase chasing my dream of going to europe. It has driven me crazy , But I'm determined to make it to europe this time!

Mine I've had for a while..
I decided I liked the word threshold... but I like turning nouns into verbs, for no reason. So If threshold was a verb, and you put it in past tense, it would become thresheld.
And there you have my username.

I've got a few more: cathartic mist (What if mist could induce catharses? Awesome!) and "igotnofing" (Anyone seen Shaun of the Dead? *points to icon*)

Echeverry is my last name and I have been in military school so it became my nickname. Oh and if it's too long for you to type Cherry is just fine, people have a hard time tryin' to pronounce my last name.

Started using it years ago as an AIM handle--I was *fanfare* uninspired and couldn't think of anything better. It stuck, and here I am.

Hmm am a great lover of all things Foo Fighters but couldn't come up with something original so took a quote from a brilliant Terry Pratchett (another hero) book, Coulour Of Magic I think it was. Goes something like this....

"He could, unlike many of Rincewind's aquaintance, speak sentences with two syllables - if given time and help."

Me gusta Terry Pratchett

My middle name is Rae (because I was born on my grandfather's birthday and his name is Ray) and so I'm rae of sunshine! Although some friends would disagree with that...
