Tinros is Tolkein's elvish- it means "sparkling water" or "shimmering mist." That's what I get for being a geek. heh. But seriously, I just like water. I'm a fish, I swear.

It's a nickname that I received on my mission, because I baked some "Magic Marshmallow Crescent Puffs" a few times.

My screenname is my real first name. It's also an acronym for Audio Video INput, although I suspect that is not the reason why my parents named me Avin. I do enjoy seeing my name written on TVs and related appliances.

Does the Shrike ever end up being a good guy for sure? I haven't read that series in several years.

I like the time at night where it's quiet except for the breeze through the trees. The moon is out and it's beautiful. That's the only time that I can stand being quiet and alone.

Rico is my last name and also what some of my friends call me. It also means "Rich" or "Delicious" in Spanish.

Everybody always thinks it came from "Starship Troopers" [Razz]

Is that really why it's your SN? I always wondered why you named yourself after a snack cake. [Wink]

It's a name I like(d). It's an African name, not an Asian one. It means "cheerful, full of laughter" (according to babynames.com), which is not strictly true referring to myself, but I like the idea in theory.

It sounds very frivolous, though, but then where else be frivolous but online?

My real name, even though I write under C. A. Bridges to avoid the Ludacris questions. I figure it's fair since thanks to him I can never become an actor under my real name.

Oh, you can be frivolous a great many places. I can give both permission and advice on that.

Annie- I worded it wrong, I meant "where else better than be frivlous but online".

[Smile] I am often frivolous in reality. Such as tonight, when I'm going to join the hordes of HP fans. [Smile]

Does that have anything to do with lack of acting talent?

His or mine?

Nope, he's now registered in the Screen Actors Guild under his real name, which happens to be Chris Bridges. Ah well. I would have been the next Gable, you know.

So do what he did, and register with SAG using your middle name (his first name was William).

Chungwa means orange in Swahili. The fruit, I think.
