It's not so bad. Like Southern Breeze said, most wouldn't have noticed.

My online nick has given me some grief. I came up with "furrycelt" years ago (over 10) when I was leaving NCSU and needed a non-school email address. I signed up with Yahoo. I wanted something that reflected me, so I went with all the things that covered Celtc, Scottish, red hair, etc.. Well, everything I came up with was taken. I refused to take something already in existance and add numbers behind it, purely out of ego of course. Almost about to give up, I discovered that "furrycelt" wasn't taken. I am rather hairy and I am of celtic blood, so why not.

For a long while I thought little of it. Until I would get the occasional *odd* question directed at me out of the blue. And around that time, I happened across a curious documentary on MTV (of all things). Appearently, there is a fetish-sub-culture of people who like to dress up as animals and also do "animal things". They call themselves: "furries".

For the record: I am not a "furry"!!

However, I have kept it cause everyone online knows me as that. And if you don't read anything into it, it still fits me.
