On a good day I’m up around 5 AM, but I often find myself up even earlier than that. I joined my first Lemmy instance during one of these bouts of insomnia, prompting my username.

My avatar is from a worldbuilding project I work on.

    My name is Joseph, and a lot of kids mispronounce it as “Jofish” or something similar. I can’t remember who actually started the nickname for me, but it caught on. It doesn’t hurt that I enjoy being in and around water anyway.

    Lemmy has avatars? I don’t see them, and I don’t want to. It’s one of the annoyances with new reddit. I just have no use for them, nor do want to waste space seeing anyone elses.

    My username? If you know you know, if you don’t you wouldn’t care anyways.

    Reference to a bad* movie that I think everyone forgot. Except for me… Making sure that movie won’t be forgotten. (Well, I think its bad)

    Never bothered with an avatar.

    Moved from one end of my country all the way to another not too long ago, and I’ve felt like a fish outta water since. Or, an Outwatered Fish.

    It’s from one of my favorite movies hunt for the wilder people. There’s this conspiracy theory dude living in the woods named psycho Sam and he goes on a rant about how form filling is how they getcha.

    I randomly chose my name while playing Mario kart on the ds with friends back in high school and have been using it ever since. The avatar is a portrait I drew of a character in my book.

    I combined my dogs names, Kona and Loki, to come up with KoLoNaKi; but when I actually made the original thing using this name, I mistyped it as KolAnaki and didn’t notice until like a week later.

    Avatar is an early ass AI image gen image of my fursona when they were still a totally new thing and I was checking 'em out. When I have some money to spend, I’d like to get a better one made by the artist who did the banner I’m using on my profile currently.

    Keys on a qwerty keyboard. Just so that it’s different here from everywhere else.

    The only reason I have a username and not an avatar is because I was forced to pick a username but not an avatar when registering.

    I threw down my enemy, and he fell from the high place and broke the mountain-side where he smote it in his ruin. Then darkness took me, and I strayed out of thought and time, and I wandered far on roads that I will not tell. Naked I was sent back – for a brief time, until my task is done. And naked I lay upon the mountain-top…I was alone, forgotten, without escape upon the hard horn of the world. There I lay staring upward, while the stars wheeled over, and each day was as long as a life-age of the earth.
