All this name splainin' has been fun and has inspired me to share "the moment" I fell under Adam's spell. I had quit watching Idol the year Taylor Hicks won. Season 5, I believe. However, my DH continued to watch so I had a vague idea of some things going on. One night as I sat at the computer searching the web for instructions on how to repair our icemaker (my exciting life), I heard this enchanting sound emanating from the living room. Rolling, undulating, caressing, notes with Middle-Eastern rhythms and cymbals entwined with a siren's voice with a hypnotic wail of passion and desire and mystery slithered through the air and entered my ears, my brain, my soul before warmly coiling around my nether region and establishing permanent residence there. I levitated to the television screen on an invisible magic carpet powered by lust inspired by this SOUND and became transfixed on that face, the hair, the nail polish, the leather, a sliver of skin, and an exposed ZIPPER!!! *swallowshardandfansselfatthememory* I fell down the rabbit hole. Hard. Not a chance of me ever crawling out either because I like it here...with all of you!
WOW!!! Now I'm wondering what did your DH think of Adam??? |

When I was a teenager, my favorite book was Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon, by Marjorie Kellogg. Going from memory as I have not reread it in many years, this is a gentle story about three misfits who meet at a rehab center. Junie Moon was burned by an abusive boyfriend, and her two friends are a gay man who was put in a wheelchair by a hate crime, and a man with epilepsy. Together they strike out for independence and new lives by moving in together. When I chose my screen name, I had already named a pet after Junie Moon and I also liked the feeling it gave me to remember and how much Adam brought back memories of that book and the way I felt back then. By the way, the book was made into an awful melodramatic movie which I don't recommend!  I guessed your name! Didn't exactly remember the book, but I remembered the Junie Moon part and always wondered if that's the reason behind your name. |

On late, but I have so enjoyed hearing about everyone's names!! Thanks for sharing..great stories. This is the first and only site I have ever blogged on...ever. When I was asked for a username, I hadn't a clue what that even meant. First name that popped into my head was 'Drycleaner'...to this day, I don't understand what that was about.  My BFF calls me Viv..short, she says, for 'Vivacious'..I can be kinda goofy but I also have a serious side. So the 'lite' part is to remind me not to take life too seriously. I have mixed luck with that one..lol... My avi is universal, really. A person taking a moment to have a private joke with him/herself. I saw that photo of Adam which also has been my only avi, except for robot head when I deleted myself. I am also a computer whiz... Vivlite it is, then.. ![]() |

Hmmm, my name was kinda random actually. I fell in love at "Mama" and watched AI all the way through. Rarely was on-line and had never been on a forum before. Was desperately looking for Adam info and news after AI and found MJs. Lurked for a while and got brave and joined in time for the AI tour. Followed Q3 and gang to Planet Fierce and then Atop. Had a really dumb name at MJs and wanted a better name. Chose stardust because I was very new to the internet and was kinda just floating around in the ether. No other meaning.  |

Just got on and see that we are giving name origins. Yay!! Newer friends on Atop may have guessed why I chose my moniker but folks who have known me for a while know that my name is waaaaaaay longer than it currently appears. During Idol Season 8 and its summer AI tour, I used to lurk at the Other Place. A lot of posters there used to angst over whether or not Adam would have an emo, Elvis, spikey-looking or a messy version of the Elvis hairdo each concert night. When I finally delurked and needed to choose a name, EmoElvisSpikeyMessyElvis had to be it!! See.... I am a 'tad' fixated on his glorious mane and I thought (and still think) that all Adam's hair iterations are expressions of his style, creativity, emoting a current view, etc., etc.... So no angsting for me on concert nights. Instead, anticipation ruled the nights as I couldn't wait to see what the heck he would do with the 'do. Posters welcomed me warmly and we had a good laugh about the name and my hair advocacy. I remember posting, "Adam, wear it and I will name it!" After that, we'd have fun times naming some of Adam's hairstyles and my name got longer with each addition. And boy, was he prolific with them 'dos!! Thankfully, he slowed down cuz my name got way too long. LMFAO!! :D : On the last Season 8 AI concert night, Adam went all out and the Elvis Pompadour TOWERED to the heavens and we had a blast naming that baby: TallAssPompaDo (my avi). The End. ** My full name: EmoElvisSpikeyMessyElvisPepeLePewEdwardScissorhandsSonictheHedgehogFluffyPremoTallAssPompaDoDirtyEmoTswoopBangDangleDeanFloppyEmoGlitterSpikeWholeLottaBefeatheringCockaDoFlauntingFlamesMcEmoIBroughtRazors!LeBedHeadFrankenGumpChromeAshPlatinumFantasyOh, I have not seen your full name for a while. Brings back memories of listening to the Idols Live tour 2009 on cell casts (with terrible audio) and watching Twitter for a hint of how his hair was done. And whether he sang "Whole Lotta Love" with the original lyrics or not [Way down inside... woman]. Yep! Emo or Elvis; Baby or Woman... Oh the memories! Also, back then we would've killed for these clear Ustreams we now have (a la I Heart Festival). |
