View Full Version : Your signature?

I think here on MTS, one of the cool, but more unnoticed, things, are people's signatures.
So, this is the thread to talk about your signature.
-What does your sig mean to you?
-Is it a quote of someone you know/celebrity?
-Is it supposed to be, cute, funny, interesting, intellectual?
-Why did you choose it?
My quote is; Please don't correct me, we probably both already know it's incorrect.
I made it up, it's supposed to be a little funny, and show that everyone makes a mistake, and sometimes it's better that way, but, mostly I don't give damn.

Mine is a quote from Friedrich Nietzche, and I chose it 'cause I know it's true. You need to know your friends as good as you know your own imagination, to know their thoughts as well as you know the characters you create. That's how I interpret it, anyway.
*cough* I felt so philosophic while explaining *cough*

Mine is a quote from Nicki Minaj's song Fly featuring Rihanna.
I know, I know, mainstream rubbish and stuff.
But that song has SUCH a powerful message. It's about being able to overcome hard times and bitchy people. It's okay to cry and let emotions overwhelm us sometimes, but you've got to keep your eye on the prize and don't give two sh*ts about criticism, because you can't please everyone.
Being it kind of more profound that Nicki's usual "touch my booty, I like to party, gimme your money, haha I met Anna Wintour and you didn't, you're a stupid hoe", I thought it was worth to quote.

My signature is part of a poem that I wrote a few years back about my deceased mother. Basically it means that even though she is not here with me in body, she is still with me in spirit willing to hold me in her arms like she did when she was here physically. All I need to do is reach out to her.

You guys are such deep thinkers. You must have been munching on your philosophical pickles.
@Roseblossom90; I'm sorry for the lost of your mother. That must have been really rough for you.

@ BlakeS5678 Thank you. It was hard but in the end it made my family stronger. And as I said, she is still around when we need her. :)

@Roseblossom90: I am very sorry for your loss. :( It is always hard. But like you said, it does make families stronger.
"If I could have one wish. That wish would be, under the stars, holding each other. As the kiss we have lasted what seemed like a life time. A breathless moment. To only our hearts could ever be told."
As for mine. It is my Romantic side. But it is more like this. It goes deep into my imagination. Its more or less this:
A Vampire holding her dying lover, whom is Mortal. And that said Vampire gets one last night with her Mortal lover. And that is what my signature is about :)
I have a huge imagination. And I like to express it. That is why I have so many stories roaming the plains of MTS. That is my passion, and second is drawing ;) A writer at heart.

Mine is "Common sense is one of nature's great ironies... It turns out common sense isn't so common."
This is supposed to be funny and intellectual, because if you think about it, it is true.

“In the darkness there's always a crack. That's how the light gets in." = a quote from one of my favorite episodes of one of my favorite TV shows. There's a bit more to the quote, "Find the crack". I like the sentiment behind it. I try to keep that general idea in mind if I'm ever feeling upset or despondent over something.

Mine's just stolen from Cracked. A while back I had one from Bogleech that I still really like but it was over the character limit. I never noticed it, and I had it for like six months before I got reprimanded for it. I saw a message in my inbox saying that I had a warning and I was all "OH SHITFUCK WHATDIDIDO?"
Here it is:
"ONE DAY EVERY FIREFIGHTER IN THE WORLD DISAPPEARED. WHERE DID
THEY GO? NOBODY KNOWS! WITHOUT ANY FIREFIGHTERS EVERY HOUSE
GETS ON FIRE AND NOONE CAN DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. EVERYONE ON
EARTH IS HOMELESS AND HAS TO RENT A BAD HOTEL. EVEN THE
PRESIDENT.
SECRET TWIST: THE HOTEL DID IT."
I just like the one I currently have because it's cute as hell, and at the time I was binging on Ru Paul's Drag Race, so I knew what had to be done.
(Oh, and there's also a link to my dA)

My signature: "I am that merry wanderer of the night". Some of you may know it. It's Shakespeare. From A Midsummer Night's Dream. It was by Puck, the mischievous fairy. I'm not a mischievous fairy, but I feel like it kind of represents me. I am an observing type, not a dynamic type. I will go and wander the night merrily, and nobody will care. Because I don't enter the spotlight. And I like it that way. It's a short quote, but it has such a great meaning. The fact that I wander the night, not the day, represents how I like being alone. I'm off in my own world. Always have been, always will be.
I wonder if any of you will take me seriously with this avatar.
Edit: When I wrote this my avatar was Justin Bieber ;)

27th Jun 2012, 4:32 AM
@piggypeach: probably not until you change it, but I honestly don't mind, the avatar is an extension of yourself as you choose to express something about yourself. In the words choosen from a random piece of internet - Haters gonna hate.
My signature will probably not remain the same, I like to adjust it accordingly to my current circumstances... like a tweet that doesn't update often.
My first one though, "my hampster army will protect me ... now where did all the sporks go?" Was a private joke about a fictional army of hampsters that do my bidding.. at least they will when I rule the world... as for the sporks, that is their weapon of choice, which a mate of mine always threatens to disembowel me with if I don't follow through on a task in regards to health (like seeing a doctor)... of which I'm still under threat of... but I have an appointment... yes lame excuse.
The next one, was something about staying in bed and waiting for the right side to present itself, was because I've had a flu for nearly 3 weeks and a series of really horrid things happen. It's still an ongoing saga but its getting better... one day at a time...
This one "*seeing the common Anno in her natural habitat is a rare sight indeed, watch as she lurks under the quilt covers waiting for the opportune moment to....*" was me trying (and failing) to be funny about my previous signature, I think of Sir David Attenboroughs' voice reciting the words and laugh.
As for my next one... I dunno yet. But I'm sure it'll be something equally as lame. :D

I decided to change my signature, to not only to show my blog :D
But also my new signature is actually a poem I had written. And I wanted to share it. The poem is about a depressed woman, who wants to just curl up and die. But in the back of her head, she keeps hearing from a soothing voice, hang on hang on. And when she finally comes too after trying to overdose, she sees her life partner crying over her, repeating "Hang On Hang On"

It's pretty self-explanatory. I hate the fact that EA has added an musical instrument of every musical instrument family except for the winds. I think they need to fix that!
It's a pretty uncreative signature, I know. Usually I use signature banners that I made (which 98% of the time are also bassoon-related xD), so I don't ever really know what to do when I can't use banners. lol

Mine's simple enough:
No need to use my full name, "Selly" will do just fine.
It's just a note to all MTS users - the alias "Selly" is my webname these days (it evolved over about 10-15 years), and I'll respond to it with or without any extras; I only have a year in the username to remind me of when I joined. Why type more than you need to?

As you may have seen, things have changed. So in regards to this. So has the signature. I've changed it too.
A mouth filled with razor blades. Cutting slowly against the grain. I feel warmth of the blood pouring, and pouring. Distress, distress I claim. With this lost and despaired look in my eyes. I can hear, oh, I can hear the cries, and see the lies.
Its from a song I wrote for the band I am in. The song is about sorrow and suicide. I know it sounds like a sad story with no happy ending. But can we live in a fantasy forever? Were the Prince saves the Damsel and they live happily ever after? We could wish that this could come what may, however, there is no happy ending. Surely, the guy gets the girl. But there are fights, and tears. So, where is the happiness? Is it at the beginning? The Middle? Or the End?

I changed my signature to lyrics from one of my favorite Hungarian bands: Depresszió Basically it means:
The unforgivable sin of the border, never I go through it.
If you love sweet home waiting for his arm gently warns.
The mind soars, for whom you are not alert to the height,
the fight is better for whom you are, for me the sweet freedom.

Mine is from Jasmine Man's (Or is it Mans'?) Spoken Word piece dedicated to Nicki Minaj. It's older, yeah, but, I loved it, especially 'cause I did remember her from her "Autobiography" days, and, she was a good, a quality artist then.
I'd put in other lines, but, they're a bit more than slightly inappropriate, and I haven't been here long enough to get away with it.
But (if you're old enough, and stuff like that), here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fm1IieQUmWU If you're into Spoken Word, this is definitely a good one. It's one of my favorites, she says stuff like:
- "Traded in your crown for un-sharpened pencils."
- "Harajuku, Hyphen, Barbie can't, and never will be, called a Queen."
- "There's nothing publicly quite pretty about broken."
- "Barbie, stop spitting toy stories."

My signature is about hurtful words. My friend Aurora said it too me. And I was like, yup yup that is true.
Basically she has been through a lot, herself. And from time to time, she repeats that saying, and lets the words fall away from her. Which I need to learn for myself.
And my gay friend Levente ALWAYS knows when I like a girl or even when I am dating a girl. And whenever he thinks that, I always ask him how in the eff does he knows?
And he always says:
"Its like we have gay telepathy or something."
