Explain Yourself

anon:

  1. short for anonymous.
  2. in a short time; soon (as in Shakespeare).

I like the contrast. To me it suggests both invisibility/lack of reality and tangibility/reality.

apaosha you wouldn’t happen to be zoroastrian or did you just stumble upon the avesta?

Stumbled upon.

I was looking for cool names for characters I was making up (I was 15 at the time).

I hadn’t even read TSZ at the time either; whose main character, Nietzsche’s version of the original prophet Zarathustra, has sustained my interest …

I see. I have a copy of his teachings and have yet to find some time to read it, this source of influence for abrahamic religions.
As for the explanation of my name, Rouzbeh was a Zoroastrian during the time of the rise of islam and story has it that after reading up on various religions around the world, he saw islam as the most righteous. I and my family are neither religious nor practicing.
I gone by the name Sorena since childhood, however, the name of a Parthian general who repelled the most notable effort of the Roman army led by Crassus into the Persian heartland in around 47BC but was killed by the emperor soon after due to his popularity.

My name is Shane. My favorite animal has been the tiger for my entire life, and when I was like 4 or 5 years old I used to pretend to be one and to call myself shaneytiger. I made growling noises while I said it.

Damn, I’m leaving the seventh. Let me know if you’re going to be in town in the summer. And check you PM…

Ah, that’s so cute… :slight_smile:
