I chose this username because I have always been a rather envious person. I originally had trouble coming up with a username, but this one came to me around the end of high school. I'd like to say I'm so much more mature than I was back then, but I can't really say that. This username still fits me in full. I still get very frustrated at the fact that there are others who I see as prettier, having more musical talent, etc. than me. And sometimes if I know a girl who has it all, I come to not like her just because of that. Ridiculous, I know... I feel like I'm still a teenager when I say that, even though I'm not.

People ask me "Symbol? Why would you name yourself that?" This is my story:

 

I used to read this manga Seikon No Qwasar(Don't read it, don't watch it, don't google it don't bing it.) and they used these elemental attacks...except their elements were the elements from the periodic table of elements. Anyway the main Big Bad's element was gold and he had killed the main characters sister...I actually never saw the guy since I stoppped reading like at chapter 25 or something...I don't know that was years ago...

 

Anyway by coincidence I started thinking what would make a good username for the internet right around the same time as I was reading that manga. So I thought "Maybe I should use chemical elements in my username"...or something like that. Also coincidentally I had been on a Disney Movie watching spree and I loved the genie from Aladdin so I named myself GenieGold on the MMO Ether Saga Online. Then I thought to myself since I was coincidentally on a "I don't want to be like anyone else I must be unique and different from everyone" phase I decided that GenieGold was too boring. I wanted to have a name that no one else had ever used before on any other website. So I named myself AzureGenie, because I had just learned the word Azure from reading .Hack(I forget which one) and I thought that it was a unique word that not a lot of people had heard of...which it wasn't...anyway it turned out that someone on youtube already had that username.(And youtube was like my ultimate test because of I figured if it's so popular then of course if no one has the username on that website then no one has the username anywhere else either.)

 

Now actually I already had an account on that website that wasn't named AzureGenie so I had never actually tested my super spcial awesome ultra creative username on that website and I forgot my username so when I went to log in to youtube I thought that my username on that website was AzureGenie but everytime I put in my password it said it was wrong. I later searched for the guy's account and I found out that he had been on the website for three years and since I knew I hadn't joined anytime before then I was like...Darn it that name is already taken! So I went back to the drawing board and changed remembered my idea about the elements that I had sort of scrapped a long time ago because I didn't want to name myself after the bad guy from that manga.

 

Now coincidentally I had been visiting this website called SuperCheats.com but I had gotten fed up with them because they wouldn't fix the rules and they had robbed me of my rightful mod position and I decided I would not be anywhere near that website on the days and weeks close to my birthday so I left for a few months. Anyway I had decided to come back to the website on exactly April 1st so that I could call "April Fools" anytime someone didn't like something I said. Anyway some time between a little before I left that website and a little before I came back I came up with the name Symbol de Au.

Spoiler
 

 

I figured no one had used that name before since it used more than one language and coincidentally I had been taking Spanish class so I knew "de" meant "of" because we used the word a lot. The username was perfect and the best part of it was that the website allowed spaces so I didn't have to sully my perfect username with underscores or X's or numbers which immediately meant "uncreative username" in my eyes.

 

Spoiler

 

Anyway I named myself Symbol de Au and so far the name has never been taken on any other website and if one day it is taken by someone else I'll assume they copied because they found the name to be epic. Anyway, I eventually started shortening it to Symbol because one word usernames are even classier than no number usernames and that's usually what people call me instead of typing out the whole username. Actually my username for this website is still Symbol de Au even though my screen name is just Symbol.

I worked at Subway many years ago and someone joked that I was like a Xerox machine because I tried pretty hard to make the food look exactly like the pictures hanging up by the menu. It just stuck. I changed the spelling to -ocks instead of -ox just for fun.

I am a magician (main profession) and so Sorceror sort of fits well even though it's spelled wrong hehe. I use this name mostly in gaming life.

Well, when I found this fourm I was eating some Doritos (Cool Ranch flavor to be exact [not those horrible Taco Bell things that'll probably give you dysentery]). I was trying to think of a user-name (first thought was "The Duke" when I realized how easily that could be used against me), and I decided that TheDoritoKing (CamelCase necessary) was a fine name to use.

Well my favorite band Rammstein did a song called Rosenrot which is German for Rose Red. Being into my feminine side I though it sounded pretty. Here is the Song in it's beautiful German language
