What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

Ok, about my name:

My school's mascot is Bevo (a longhorn). A couple months years ago, my friend was taking an informal poll about when people thought he would die (he's pretty old)(Update: He retired and a new Bevo came in to take his place (Update Update: It has been a while since I edited this. The formerly new Bevo has now died of cancer. They're looking for a replacement)), and that got me thinking about what he'd be like as a ghost...(don't ask--there was a somewhat-logical thought process that led up to this)


Since he seems to be always sedated in public, I figured he'd need to get some of that energy out; plus, he probably wouldn't be too happy about being constantly drugged up: hence, he'd be angry.

Add it all together, and you get BevosAngryGhost!

While the current Bevo's not dead yet (Update: yes he is), I like to think that I'm more the spirit of Bevos past, all the way back to the first one.
