yeah, sorry about the cleche', but i figured id ask you ALL where you got your screen names from so i could get to know you all a little better. i guess since its my thread, ill go first.



So, any anime fans out there? ever see gundam wing? did you pay attention to it? well i did and i just came to respect trowa, the pilot of heavyarms.



like wing gundam, deathsythe, sandrock, and shenlong, heavyarms is a giant robot that was built to help execute a plan designed by space colonys to take controle of the world and its people. when the colonys felt like they had had enough of the people of erf dictating their lives, they decided to drop an abandoned colony on the planet and send these five machines to aid in the destruction of the remaining erf forces. the plan went wrong and the colony was never droped to erf, but the machines were.



the original pilot of heavyarms was executed by the machines designer because of a conflict of intrest and a whitness called no name opted to pilot it in his place. he also took the dead mans name as his own. trowa was his first name ever. the pilot had lost his family in a bomb raid when he was 5 or so and found alive wandering a field in the middle of a battle. a man saw him and "saved" him from dieing. since then he trained as a soldier and knew nothing else, even what his birth name was, so he called himself no name.



i like the name trowa, but it doesnt fit for some reason, trowa is more of what i am, not what i do which is why i choose heavyarms. heavyarms is a machine controoled by a person, which is how i view my personality here. not what i am, but what i do. sorry for the long explination, but it wouldnt do the name justice if i had'nt

yeah but i dont like to dig up old shit, my wife does enough of that. so it you dont mind typing it again then go ahead, if not dont worrie about it... but dont post a link like im gonna read all the way through it, cuz i wont and you probably already knew that. (t

It's not that much effort to read it!

It's fairer on everyone else, who probably can't be arsed to retype what they did only 3 weeks ago!

If you want the answer to your question, read the previous thread.



Btw, if you can't guess where my name from you need your head examined. :D

btw if you can't guess where my name from you need your head examined twice

Cool sig, by the way reaction.

You should put it on a t-shirt, I'd buy one

Heavyarms, just so you know, there's no shame in digging up old threads it happens quite often and nobody gets ragged for it. If we bore you with previous threads, well, not much I can do about that. I don't think people would want to rewrite what they already did anymore than you'd want to rewrite what you just did. ;) But anyway, because I'm lazy and don't want to rewrite what I previously wrote (and the husband beckons right now... hehe) I'll just cut and paste from the link chemicalreaction posted:

As for my name... Well, in 1996 before my son came along, my husband and I went to visit my folks who were living in London. We picked up a book beforehand called "London By Night." It was actually a decent guide to what was going on, mentioned lots of restaurants, night tours, clubs and stuff. There was one club called "Whirlygig" and from the description, it seemed like a hippy sorta place where people brought their kids and danced or sat around in drum circles. I don't know why, it's not like I went to the club or that I wanted to go particularly - but the name kind of stuck with me. When I hear the word "whirly" I remember how excited I was being able to take my husband to London for the first time, because I knew he'd love it as much as I do. Anyway - flash foward a couple of years. We got a computer and a few months afterward I was thinking about setting up an e-mail account. I didn't go on messageboards or chat or anything like that. But I did want to keep in touch with family plus sign on to the Chemical Brothers mailing list. My husband and I were talking about maybe one day getting back to London, and what would we do with our son if we wanted to go clubbing and my folks couldn't watch him - and he mentions that club "whirlygig," but he slips and says "whirlygirl" instead. So I thought, that would make a great e-mail address. And it sort of went from there.



I've had a couple other screen names but I like everything that surrounds the "whirlygirl" one. Lots of good memories.

wow, i wanna visit that place, ive got two kids myself. parent hood is fun btw, im only 19. (t

Whoa! 19! you're mental, but doing the right thing by looking after the shits. Most blokes just leave, there are plenty of single mums down here. It's bloody anoying, you chat to a bird, get on well then find out she's got 15 different kids by 20 different men (they're mostly stupid, that's why that doesn't add up).



I couldn't have a kid at 19, I love to do the practice of child making, but I put a helmet on.

-> Condoms are cheaper than guns. ;-)

Wow, full circle!

kids are fun, more fun than working on your cars brakes anyway (t. but really, i kinda knew i was gonna start real life early. im happy with the whole family life, sure its stressfull, but then again so is trying to find that "special someone". i wouldnt want life any other way, unless i could've been a rock star, then shit man... i might think about it (t

Motherhood was not something I set out to do, it just happened along the way, and I'm a better person for it. It's just amazing how much love you're capable of giving, or capable of having. Parenthood offers a priceless perspective in this regard. The parenthood thing was scarey at first, there were a lot of "what if's" and nobody tells you that trial and error is the norm - it's the biggest responsibility a human being can take on and being responsible for something so helpless and fragile is a heavy weight to bear. Ah... the sappy factor is taking hold of me... sorry. I don't think anyone can prepare themselves for such a large responsibility no matter how much planning they do beforehand. ;-) I wouldn't have it any other way and I really dig being a mom. I only wish I had more time, then again who doesn't wish they had more time? I don't know how I would've dealt with being a mother had I got an earlier start. I had my own issues I was working on and enjoying my honeymoon ie: the first couple years of my marriage. So kudos to you Heavyarms for taking it in stride and having a great attitude!

thanky! and your right, even 9 months isnt enough time to realize what all being a parent entails. its NOTHING like they say, its nothing like you thought, and its never gonna be the same again but the best thing you can do is realize that as early as possible. have fun with your kids, cus they'll be your best friends for the rest of your life even when your old and gray, looking for somone to wipe YOUR ass. but thats how i describe parenthood to people who ask, "its just another ass to wipe!" (t

I spit on responsibility! Too much of a burden.

A bit more blunt than I would have put it igunua, but yeah, I'm so not ready for parenthood, the thought of it scares the hell outta me. My life is too unstable at the moment, plus I hate kids (that's sounds awful, but they just piss me off), I'm far too cynical to be a parent. It's weird, I think of myself as really mature, but not in the having kids stakes. I guess I plan to get married, and have a mortgage and the rest of it before kids arrived and destroy your plans. I hope I'll be ok with it when the day comes, but from what heavyarms and whirly said, I guess you just adjust when the kids arrive?



Plus, on a slightly more stupid note, there's no way I want to put my g/f through that yet, pregnancy is tough, having a parasite growing inside you for 9 months takes it out of you, and it's not something I'm ready to take the blame for yet.

Hehehe. If it were only 9 months to worry about in terms of children, people wouldn't be taking second mortagages out on their homes in order to send their kids to college when they're 18! ;) If you don't think you're ready for the responsibility, the best advice is don't breed (and don't believe the one-night-stand who says she's on the pill) There are enough shitty parents out there doing a crap job at raising their kids as it is. And you guys are young, so it's not a bad thing at all to be selfish in this regard.



When my husband and I were early 20's, if someone told us we'd be parents before we were 30 we would've laughed in their face and told them to fuck off. We were so *not* the parental types... and we didn't think we'd ever have kids really as we were incredibly self serving and horribly irresponsible. But anyway, as the saying goes, times change and so do I...

Chemicalfan - "...plus I hate kids (that's sounds awful, but they just piss me off)," good coz i am not the only one. They are cute when they are really young. But after that when they start asking questions, it pisses me off. PLZ don't be offended- all the people who love kids. @whirly - i am sure your kid is da bomb ;-) just coz you are.

Thanks chemicalreaction, I know my kid is the best because... well, he came from me belly! X-D



Yes, agreed that kids can be annoying. Well, *other* people's kids can be annoying. When they're your own, somehow they are more like angels and less like the little rug rats they are in other people's eyes. ;)
