That is such a Canadian/northern midwest U.S. saying.....like something out of the movie Fargo. I love it.

If you can use ya, dude and eh all in the same sentence (and in that order) without it sounding forced then you should get automatic Canadian citizenship.:D

it's funny...I don't even think of myself as "simply_angelic" anymore...haha I've gotten so used to my nicknames for my nickname. So anytime someone uses the word "simply" I light up...or SA. Like the 2 places that I want to travel to next year: South America and South Africa

I'm excited because I just changed my username to the one I wanted.
Louse is the nickname given to me by the people I live with in Holland. It is apparently a (spanish?.. spelt luis I think) term of affection...hmmm... but I don't mind being thought of as an annoying little bug anyway (louse is the singular of lice)
Plus it is my name, Louise, without the 'i' so I can go on with some philosophical nonsense about disconnecting from the ego, become free from the attachement to the physical,m blah blah blah

I named myself after that John Candy movie "Canadian Bacon" which is a comedy about the US declaring war on Canada because of our weapons of mass destruction hidden in Toronto's CN Tower. It's a great movie!

SuDZ, always that way, with the little "u" and capitol everything else. I was maybe 13 or so, well, from there I started using it for all my mischief with different stuff online for a little while. I was using it for logins on local BBS's back in the day before you could actually have an modem connection to much of anything else. Then I started getting into making some programs, usually malicious ones that I look back on now and think "What was I doing that for back then?" but they always had the name SuDZ in it somehow. Either buried in the code or blantantly as the name as the executable when I was feeling cocky because I was 14.

SuDZ


So if I were to delve into the past and look up some files, I might see SuDZ connected to some things eh? The good ol BBS days.. I miss them sometimes. I had a nice little run back in the day... used to actually have access to some BBS's that were quite far away (800 #'s of course) Although I dabbled into Hacking/Phreaking a bit I was way more of a Warez distributor. Usually games, and such.

And... apparantly I never posted in here. My name Sijuki, I made up many years ago needing a screen name for AOL. I just used all my creative energies and *BAM* there it was. Unique & clever eh? That is what I thought. But, alas, there is apparantly a Sijuki is Germany. This Sijuki apparantly came into existence sometime around when I came up with Sijuki for myself, and just recently I found another Sijuki I think in New Zeland or somewhere's around there. P-shaw. Basically for the most part if you see Sijuki somewhere, it's probably me. So no really interesting story, just an expanded imagination from too many drugs or lack of sleep or something... who the hell knows. I like it, so it will stay forever and ever.

I've had this handle for years on AIM... but I initially thought this up because I had an obsession with the Moon (Diana = Moon Goddess in Roman Mythology), and I spent the greater of my last couple of years in high school napping, hence Bedtime...

so that's it!
