Three guesses why i chose mine! Howls is far from my favourite Ghibli, but i thought turniphead was such a refreshing/different character, and the way he moves is most amusing! I also love him because he turns into a random prince at the end!

Because Kiki is amazing!!

I used to be gigantic_red_bow {Kiki}, though. I think that I was just making use of the fact that this forum allows you to use awesome characters. Like {}.

And because when I was about four, I always wore a red bow around and cut my hair short because I wanted to be Kiki. I WAS Kiki. And my favorite dress was black... I watched Kiki's Delivery Service everyday... Ultimate Ghibli fandom!

Although now, because of my user name, whenever anyone is referring to Kiki simply as Kiki I always think that they're talking about me.. haha...

ahem, way back in the stone-age (abt 1969) when CB radio was just starting to become the rage here in the States, I installed one in my car, a dark green Mustang. It broke my heart to cut the hole in the left reat quarter panel to mount the 108" 'Thunderstick' antenna, but I did it anyway.

I started out using the handle 'little' green pony' then, since I had been called 'Yukon' by my geographically challenged buddies because I had been born in Canada, I tried 'Yukon', but it didn't feel right. "Yukon King'? No, same reason, but longer... Then I got to thinking that the name Yukon King was the name of the dog in a TV series popular at the time about a Canadian Mountie and his dog. What was his breed? (the dog not the Mountie) a Husky... and I have been Husky ever since. (well, OK, fat, but still Husky)

ps
I still have a my CB license (expired and not required anymore) and a Ham radio license as well

Ham radio is a number of people all over the world that communicate with one another, although not necessarily internationally. I have a license which allows me to 'use' the 2 meter band frequency and some others. I used to have a base station that I could talk around my county area. If I had the money, I could have had more powerful equipment and talked to a much wider area, worldwide if the atmosheric conditions were right. When I first got my license, I was required to transmit and receive at least 5 words of morse code. That is no longer required now. My license classification is Tech-Plus because of the code thing. I no longer remember the code as I have just used voice radio. All I have at the moment is a 2-meter Handitalkie that I can reach out 30 or more miles using a mountain top repeater. Since I have had a computer, tho, I get to talk internationally and don't use the radio much anymore.
try looking Ham radio up in wikipedia, might get a clearer understanding that mine...

I was looking up Studio Ghibli on Wikipedia one day and discovered that Gedo Senki was in the making. As a result, I looked everywhere for information about Ghibli, and stumbled across this forum. Because I was a bit Earthsea-obsessed at that moment, I chose "arren", and 18 is just my number. Since then, I've normally used arren18 on other anime forums.

Nausicaa_Cat is because my two favourite animes are Nausicaa valley of the wind and Return of the Cat. When it came to choosing a name to join the forum I just couldn't decide so decided to have them both incorporated!

I used to have a sig showing this (a combination of Nausicaa and RTC) but sadly my inability not to add my signature to my RPG posts has meant im unable to cope with a signature anymore XD

Though to be honest i'm thinking about changing my username to TroutFace.

I just think its more me

And becaue you "Yay!" a lot

This name I created myself when I created some spy team back in primary school, when I was obsessed with detective work (used to dream of being one).

Is pretty much the only other name I have ever used anywhere, with RK being the acronym when character limits are in place.

*Farran* was a black fox that was also an assasin, who was hired by ferago the weasel warlord in one of brian jacques novels, salamandestron.

so i changed it to farren and used it as my username ever since.

he was an interesting character even if he did die rather quickly.

Kazegami was my favourite brush god in a game called Okami. Well, at least it was the one that I thought sounded the coolest. I almost decided to go for Nuregami though. I call myself FluoriteKaz or Fluorite Kaz on most other forums/websites though... the 'Fluorite' being from the Tsubasa Chronicle character Fai D Fluorite, who was the first anime guy I got really obsessed with, and 'Kaz' came from my name here - Kazegami. ^_^
