I'm just not awake to the "times and seasons" anymore.
I'm now almost asleep

NeonMadman
Like most of the aliases I've used since I first started participating in the internet, it's from a Bob Dylan song. Specifically, in this case, "Stuck Inside of Mobile With the Memphis Blues Again". Apart from that, and the fact that I am a bit of a madman, it has no specific meaning. Here's the lyric:
Now the bricks lay on Grand Street
Where the neon madmen climb.
They all fall there so perfectly,
It all seems so well timed.
An' here I sit so patiently
Waiting to find out what price
You have to pay to get out of
Going through all these things twice.
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again.

FreeFallin
Tom Petty's song was playing on the radio when I made my first post. I identified with both the "good girl" and "bad boy" in the lyrics.
Free Falling also applies to how I've felt ever since starting to lurk on this board about 6 months ago. Plummeting to destruction with a tattered parachute, that parachute being what I believed to be the "truth." Sometimes I wish I had never started this journey.FreeFallin'

Tatiana
Tatiana is my only daughter's name. It came from a book I was reading while pregnant. It was called "Fantastic Universe Omnibus." Copyright 1960. A compilation of science fiction stories. Her name came from the story by William Tenn, "She Only Goes Out At Night." She was a vampire named Tatiana. ( I have to say that her first name, Glory, came from a scripture in Thessalonians..'you are our glory and our joy') Funny that my anointed uncle gave me this book, which I still have.
My real name is April. I use it on other boards as well.
I would REALLY like to know the story behind msil's name! Also slipandslide's.....and why he doesn't like red hair!

Target comes from a couple of nasty accidents I was in over the last couple of years. People just seem to run into me like I have a big target painted on my car.

teenyuck
Well...mine is so boring. No thought went into it. I stumbled across this board and wanted to post. I looked around the room for ideas on names and saw a box of tissues. Yes, they were Puffs. The only brand my spouse likes. So, Puffs Rule....at least in my home!
