Curly- because I have super curly red hair
Girl- because even though I am 27 years old, I still feel like I am growing up, and obviously I am female :-)

wolverine is the best character from X men !

Nothing hurts him not even UC LOL

Wolverine- No, PHOENIX is obviously the best X-men character. At least in terms of powers. She's basically god. Personality-wise I love Nightcrawler though.

Mine is pretty boring too.... Susie because that's my name, and the buddy part came from my Stepdaughter Heather, because I used to call her Heatherbuddy, so she started calling me SusieBuddy... :)

Mitzi is a nickname for Dimitri, in Greek. I spent a few years in Greece when I was younger, and ... well, anyway, great memories!

Okay, that's it, I changed my name. My previous one was too boring and used my initials which apparently is a security no-no.

I wanted to just be "Serenity" (I have problems with anxiety which greatly impacts my UC, so serenity is what I strive for) but it was taken so I went with Serenity Now which is from my favourite Seinfeld episode.

Serenity Now, love the screen name...and the Seinfeld episode. As my friends like to say, there's always a life moment that coincides with a Seinfeld episode...or is it the other way around?

Serenity......nice name change! But I have to admit...I had to go back and reread the posts on this thread to find out WHO you WERE! LOL :)

After reading everyones I think I need to change mine.  I am so unoriginal.  Off to think of a new one.

Posted 2/16/2010 6:02 PM (GMT 0)
Okay I changed mine-still not very original but more so than the last. Snickers is my beagle and he was born May 2006.

My username is usually subduedjoy. Joy, because that's my name. Subdued, because I was in remission when I created the username (my inflammation was subdued) and I'm on Lexapro (which causes some of my feelings to become subdued). And then, I'm a strong believer of the Chinese philosophy of Yin Yang; thus, subdued joy.

It's just subdued here, because my inflammation is subdued.

One thing I noticed from reading how people selected their screen names, there are quite a few people on the board who are Pittas. Pitta is one of Ayurveda's doshas. Pittas are fire-y. Their skin can usually turn red easily. They often like red, to dye their hair red, to wear red, to drive red cars. UC is a Pitta disorder. The Pitta internal flame needs to be calmed down.

BTW, I drive a red car. I used to be dual dosha--Pitta and Vata. I've done much during these last few years to calm my fire-y personality. Now I'm Vata dominant, but I still have my 14-year old, red car. I think my next car will be blue. I don't like blue as much, but it is more calming.

I like Serenity Now also. Who did you used to be before you became who you are now? Ha.


Levi:



My middle name is Matthew. Matthew (you know, from the bible) was also known as Levi, so all my online names are "Levi" or "akalevi".

Subdued; that is very interesting. Funny thing though, I used to buy only white cars. A few years ago, I was wanting to change everything in my life around, and so I bought a red RAV4 because it was so different from anything I'd ever do. People still laugh because they can't believe I drive a red car. I still would have chosen the sand or blue color over red! ;-)

Hee hee!  Guess I gave you a little mystery to figure out!  Firstly, not sure why my sig disappeared when I changed my name.  I had to find an old post to copy & paste it back in.  In doing so, I discovered that even my old posts now carry my new screen name.  Interesting!

I was ack2009, to Levi and anyone else who is curious.

Han Solo, because I'm a nerd, because I was feeling very alone with my UC when I joined, and because I was determined to be tough about it and not lose my sense of humor. I can't believe it was available!

Subdued, how do we calm our fire-y Ayurveda personalities?

Go for walks, meditate, swim (in cool, not hot water).

Avoid stimulants.

Don't eat spicy foods.

Wear cool colors.

Try not to get angry about things by learning how to think differently. Learning about disoriented thinking and how not to draw negative conclusions about things helps.

...

There is a suggested diet for cooling the Pitta dosha, but I don't feel it's an appropriate diet for colitis. Diet is very individualistic when it comes to colitis.

Gav'smom, I am Gavin's mother, docter, nurse, advocate, and friend. Has anyone watched the movie My Sister's Keeper? The part in the movie where the mother and sister are talking to each other about how the mom is the crazy -- mother; because she feels if she isn't she hasn't done her all for her child? Yep, that's me. The poor medical profession will attest.
