Me I chose mine because I wanted to have the shortest username possible without any numbers. I dunno why but I like it. :P Why did you choose yours? Yeah this was inspired by the avatar thread, go figure.

It has to do with my fascination of the behaviour of vampires. I have pale skin and dislike sunlight, so that's gotta count for something, too.

I was looking around and saw that everyone had a bunch of fancy names like "Drizzt213" or "Sephiroth1349086" and realized that, if everyone else has a really fancy name, then my just creating a fancy name wouldn't stand out. If everyone else has an "exotic" name then it isn't really exotic anymore, and a normal name like "Jim" stands out more. :)

It was the last two words of my email address at the time. If I could change it to something cooler now I would.

When I was 13 or 14 I was a big fan of Digimon, and Gabumon was my favorite character from that show. I've since stopped watching it, but the name suck, so I dropped the "mon" to distance it from its origins.

As for the "Ex", "Gabu" was taken on GameSpot and I hate adding numbers at the end of my name, so I added "Ex" instead since I thought it sounded cool. It has no significance beyond that. :P

wr: wide receiver fade: 1, or a fade route (run around the outside of the cb and up the side line for the td). 82: my high school number I started in 7th grade, second-string in 8th grade, and B-Team back up freshman year. After that year I quit playing...(5'3" 110lbs wide receivers don't see too much playing time)

Idk about you, but I'm still in love with Rikku. :P.

Anyways, Bass was from Megaman and Bass, 7 is my favorite number. People keep confusing me with either the fish, or the fatass from Dead or Alive.

I was nicknamed "chaos" at the nightclub I used to work at; I liked it and since then have used "xaos" as my username wherever possible.

English not good enough, so you had to turn to Greek, eh? :P

Well, at least now I know not to pronounce it "za-ahs"...

I'm not sure, it just kind of came to me. I wanted something that was cheesy, but classy. So that ended up being the French word for cheese.
