> > My nickname is Quartz, but if there's anybody here that goes by that nickname please make me desist. A year ago I thought I had the COOLEST most ORIGINAL nickname on the planet (and it was on clocks around the country to boot), and then whenever I try to join an internet club with the nickname Quartz, they almost always say "I'm sorry, that nickname's already taken"! Even if the last Quartz hasn't been on the website for 3 years, I still can't use it. Jeesh.

It's really supposed to be written like IDEA agent). Or maybe "Snapdragon the misfit elf", or "Snapdragon" for short. Or better yet, why don't YOU think of some nicknames for me, because I'm lazy. :^)

Now, THAT is a greeting to be remembered! I can't do better than that, so I'll just say, "Hello! Welcome to RinkLand!"

As for nicknames, any of them sound okay to me. Of course, Ellmyruh and its various nicknames are taken, but I don't recall seeing anybody by the name of Quartz or Snapdragon.
