I've been using "Gawain" as an alias on the web to one degree or another for years. I'm just a fan of the Arthurian tale of "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight". Once upon a time, I used Beowulf a bit, but not anymore...
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

Well I started AFF in Spring 1999. At the Halloween Boogie in West Point, VA I did my graduation jumps. So on Saturday night we had the big Halloween party, and I came dressed as Speed Racer, because people have always said I look like that cartoon character.

As the evening wore on, everyone got kinda likkered up, and I wound up jumping through a bonfire in full Speed Racer costume.... Click here for evidence. Since then, my nickname at that dropzone was Speed Racer.

Mine is really easy...

All my friends call me Rus and I am the only person I know of who spells it with one "S". There are a couple of other Russ' around here in the music community and when folks were talking about which one they started calling me "THE Rus" as a way to distinguish me from the others... :P

Yeah, it's fine, we'll walk down the line. Leave our rain, a cold trade for warm sunshine
You my friend, I will defend... and if we change, well, I love you anyway

I got my nickname at age 12 when I hit 6' tall. I dedided to take the name away from them in a sort of affirmation thing. That way all the "little" people could just go screw themselves and try to pick on someone else

Its a tall thing

My family used to call me 'Ant' when I was a little kid.
Oddly enough I am now 6ft and 190lbs.
But also because when I look at a big way when they see me as an ant I see them as SkyAnts.
I also don't like to identify myself to early due to the fact I have been stalked by at least 2 ex-girlfriends.

I was emailing a friend about skydiving I told him".....and then the canopy opens and you float to the ground like a multicolored snowflake" he started calling me snowflake. About that time I was signing up here and I liked the irony(theres a better word can't think of it now) of the name so I used it.
