justfran Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 (edited) my sn and sig came from Strictly Ballroom. We had to study the movie for English and I got hooked on it, I think it's Baz Luhrmann's best movie (followed by Moulin Rouge and then R+J). Fran is the female lead in the movie, she's a bit of a dork (but she can dance) and she's Catholic (at least her family is...well, at least her wacky grandma seems to be - dresses all in black with a crucifix round her neck)! I got the "just" from this bit in the movie: Scott: Look, what's your name again? Fran: Fran. Scott: Yeah, Fran what? Fran:...just Fran. and Yep, the line in my sig is repeated throughout the movie. It's first said in Spanish, though - "Vivir con miedo es como vivir a medias" ( I've heard from someone that Tara Morice's Spanish accent is a bit , but not like i can really tell the difference) Hopefully will get around to finishing my Fran avatar.

DemonSlayer Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 My screen name is pretty much the same form my screen name at Onerock, I came up with it about 3 yrs ago when I joined Onerock, it just reflects my favourite pastime of killing demons. My avatar is just a picture from The Passion that I cropped and shrunk in Paint and Photoshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*AnCoRa33*~ Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Ancora is an alliance of young Catholic Girls who have commited themselves to spending 15 minutes weekly praying for the Pope and Vocations. 33 is my family's number....... every jersey number.... is 33!! My avatar is the cartoon, Calvin & Hobbes!! THEY ARE SOOO FUNNY!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAA HHHHAHAHAHAHA!!! My sig is part of a quote I found (I had to shorten it b/c of character limits ) The whole quote is: How many people have to die for us to understand why the Gospel message is so hated by today's world? Only one thing has changed since the first-century martyrs shed their blood: Christians don't live like they care anymore. Our faith is worth dying for. Christ proved that. It is not that Catholicism has been tried and found wanting. It is that it has been found difficult and left untried. ~ G. K. Chesterton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GirlInTheWhiteArmor Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 My sn describes my patron - St. Joan of Arc (she had white armor). Avatar is a pic of her. My sig is a quote of hers - she said that to the inquisitors at her trial when they asked her if she was in a state of grace - they were trying to trip her up and get her to say something to convict her as a heritic. She is my hero!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeenaBobba Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 My screen name: Beena Bobba is the nickname my dad gave me when I was a little kid. He'd call me Jenna Beena Bobba. Actually, he still calls me Beena. LOL. My avatar: I used to have the Rio avatar, but I was getting tired of it. I wanted something more original. I love Eastern Catholicism, and I love icons, so I really wanted an icon avatar. I looked through one of the past threads for avatars, and this was listed by Cure of Ars. My sig: It's a shortened version of a quote from Dostoevsky's [i]The Brothers Karamazov[/i], which I'm reading now. (It's a great book!) God bless, Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
