Well. I am a wench. And quite jaded. I wanted to make something I had not really used before, back when I joined the place that shall not be named, and it sort of stuck. I also really love the color green. If it makes you feel any better I am a much happier person today than I was then. Still a wench though. ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

I chose mine because one day I had nothing to do and was super bored, so I just stared at ceiling and blackedout. And mind you I wasn't tired or anything neither did I sleep, I just lost consciousness because I was bored.

[โ€“] EndlessApollo@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

There was a now deleted YouTube video by OneMinuteGalactica called "Apollo launches his viper funny" where Apollo from the original BSG tries to take off, but the launch tube just goes for miles and miles while the bridge crew and other pilots scramble to figure out what's going on. I thought the reference to it was funny and sounded cool when I was 15ish and it's pretty much stuck

[โ€“] Emerald@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

My username originally was Emerald_Earth, because I saw the old Lemmy.world logo with the Earth (that had green on it, like am emerald). I switched to Emerald when I realized it was available. Short and sweet.
