I always used to sign my PPML posts "theartistcurrentlyknownasmel!ssa". That wouldn't fit.

Well, my legal first name is "Matthew," and "Matt" is a common nickname for it. smile In fact, it's the name I generally go by--for the most part, I only use Matthew for "official business," such as when I'm doing something in my capacity as an attorney, entering into a contract, opening a bank account, etc.

Also:

1) I figured that if I didn't claim the name, someone else would--it seems that Matthew/Matt became a common first name in the 1970s and remains that way today.

2) Most (if not all) of the prince.org Staff uses their "everyday" name, so I figured I'd do the same.

One interesting thing is that some people at work have thought that "Matt" is my legal first name--never mind that the diplomas and whatnot on my office wall say "Matthew," my letterhead and business cards say "Matthew," and my name on our office door says "Matthew." smile


OH, I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE EVERYONE WAS ALWAYS WALKING ALL OVER U ...thanks! remember to tip your waitresses

I always tip restaurant servers and pizza delivery drivers at least 20%, unless they've done something to deserve having their tip docked. And since I've worked in restaurants and delivered pizza, I can usually tell when a problem is the fault of the kitchen and not the server.

I also tip haircutters, restroom attendants, bartenders, etc. I've been in their shoes, and it's never nice to get "stiffed."
Please note: effective March 21, 2010, I've stepped down from my prince.org Moderator position.

My name was chosen for me by another Prince fan when I first went online with AOL. I'd been complaining that I didn't have a Princely sounding nickname, and I was thinking of 'The Max' as my name is Maxine. She first came up with 'Igo2theMax' but the name was taken at AOL, so Igo2DaMax became the one!

Max
...I go 2 the max...I'm not afraid...I wanna dance...

chose mine because i'm evil and because there was a time in history when the catholic church banned the pentatonic scale because they thought it was the devil's scale(something about a flat 3rd), i find it ironic that blues and rock n roll were spawned from this scale...look at rock music today omg i think the catholics were right!!
