At this point I should point out I was like 9 at the time.
But I came up with Magnoodle. Don't ask why. It had something to do with his ability to kill people, go figure, a noodle.
And there it lay, forgotten for a few years until I was about 12 and writing this story. A sci-fi fantasy spy comedy. My story telling skills were still evolving into, you know, skills. Anyway, I needed a name for the villain. I randomly pulled Magnoodle out of my ass as a place holder. It stuck.
The next year I got online full time. First website I started hanging out on full time? Nick.com.
Yeah, the nickelodeon website. Well I needed a username. After trying and failing to figure one out, Magnoodle got pulled from my ass once more. And it really stuck.
In the years since, I'm damn near 20, and everywhere I go, Magnoodle is my username. It's my email, my myspace, and my username on every single forum EVER.
I realize now it's more than slightly retarded, but, like the "anything69" username, it's the only thing people know me as.
But, to save time and humilitation, on the forums I spend the most time, they call me Mags instead. To the point where a few people call me mags in person.]]>Dec 1st 2009 2:56PM
