Signe is just my first name.  Since TS has become so popular in most of the games I play, sometimes I'm sorry I didn't make something up.  I waver between amused and annoyed with people trying to pronouce it.

Crash and Destroy

What's behind my username is my hobby. I've been playing guitar for a year now and have gotten quite good since then. I'm on scales etc right now, and I can't even read music sheets coz my degree ain't something related to music LOL

When I hold my guitar, I become a different person.

[Insert Tool lyrics]

When I started playing Everquest I was fiddilng with the random name generator and I came up with something close to this...and then changed it to what I thought sounded a little more cool...a couple years later I found out that it was a Warcraft reference...unintentional, but still annoying that most people probably thought that that was why I did it...I never even really liked Warcraft that much (even while playing WoW my only real thoughts were "I wish this were Starcraft")

There's something kinda sad about the way that things have come to be, desensitized to everything, what became of subtlety?

NO!  You're having a laugh, aren't you?  Just in case you're not, though, - it's Sig-nee!

I intend to live forever -- So far so good!

A game by the name of Demon Stone came out for the PS2, it wasn't very good but there was a character in it, a mage by the name of Illius.  I liked the name and figured I'd use it since almost noboyd will know of the game or the character.

Not much to it really....

Despite the massive amount of predictable skin rash jokes, that's not where I got mine from.

When I decided to play City of Heroes,I wanted a name like one of my favorite X-Men. Gambit. I picked a name that suited my play style, which was wreckless, hasty, madcap....Rash. So thats that.

Honestly, I wouldn't have thought of that.

I suppose.  Some people, even in my own family, pronouce it Seen-ya (like the French) because they don't like the Norwegian sound.  I don't mind too too much and it does provide a perverse sort of entertainment listening to people attempt to say it.  Or maybe that's just my defense mechanism kicking in.
