The Heat - My nickname in high school, and the name of the main character/hero in my comic book.

**Princess Jas** · 12-12-2004, 11:17 PM

Aladdin is my favorite Disney movie, so naturally, Jasmine is my favorite female Disney character. I tried to register as "Jasmine" and "PrincessJasmine" but could not because they were already in use by other people. I also tried "Princess Jasmine" but it was too long. Then, I had to start thinking of a creative solution for my username. I considered "Jas" (the Genie's nickname for Jasmine), but it just seemed too short and I was afraid that no one would understand what I meant by it (I know - a Disney geeks website, and I was afraid that I Disney nickname would be confusing

.) So I thought about being "Princess Jas" but did not register immediately because I did not really like it (once again,

). I decided that I really wanted to register and "Princess Jas" was the best option I had, so I decided to use it. I am so glad I did, because I love this site, and the nickname grew on me. I really like it now, actually my sister, Belle, calls me "Jas" now sometimes. In fact, I like it so much, I am going to use "Princess Jas" on any site I register on.

Ok, so now you have my book

about how I chose my user name, let's hear some more!

Well the "Todd" part is for my middle name which is Todd and the "Breakey" part is for my last name which is.....wait for it........Breakey. Actually the reason I registered that way here and on the DIS Boards is because my brother and sisters are all registered with their first and last names and I wanted to make sure that you all knew that we were related.

I'm 6' 5" tall andmy name is brian so when I first started looking for a nickname to use online (to chat in #radp-friends) bigbrian seemed like a natural, later I wanted to start my own disney website, first on geocities, later I went to a page where I picked my own url, the url bigbrian.com was taken (by a blues band led by a guy named bigbrian)...I had seen a few folks in the chat rooms use nicknames that also clued you as to thier location, and thought that was a good add on to the nickname to make my web address www.bigbrian.nc.com .

I guess JC has always been my alter ego. When I first heard Jiminy sing When You Wish Upon a Star 50 or so years ago it struck a chord in me. So much so, that I would like it played at my funeral. Also, I took the Blue Fairy's charge to JC to heart.

Well mine is not really Disney based, but give credit to WDW for the inspiration.

In 1998 I created an idea for a private cruise line and needed a name for it. After about 100 different names and 2 years later I had it -- Summer Sun Cruise Line (christened June 2000 (first month of summer)). Then I started going to Disney some more and got more and more inspiration. In 2002 I started a free travel company for neighbors, friends and family; and in June of this year the Summer Sun Resort and Spa was added and in June of next year Summer Sun Connex (local/regional airline) will become the final chapter in the company. And, thats how I am Summer Sun -- because of my company.

Well, there used to be a show on Nickelodeon called "Legends of the Hidden Temple," and I flat-out loved that show (almost as much as I love Survivor!). As a tribute to Olmec, the talking rock on the show, I named myself after him. The 26 is for my birthday. Strange, I know...

**BenjaminGeiger** · 12-15-2004, 12:51 AM

Uhm. Do I really need to explain?

**Princess Jas** · 12-15-2004, 01:14 AM

Welcome to DWT, Benjamin! We are glad you have joined our "family." Chat nights are every Tuesday and Thursday at 9 pm. I hope to see you there as well as around the boards!

**Princess Jas** · 12-15-2004, 01:15 AM

p.s. - Lucky you! You live SO close to WDW! I wish Agrabah was that close to WDW.

**bigbrian-nc.com** · 12-15-2004, 10:30 AM

Hi Ben! welcome to the group, it was nice meeting you at RADP IX, good to see that you've found us.

**Stitch** · 12-15-2004, 05:36 PM

Olmec, I love that show! It reruns on one of the Nick channels all the time!

**BenjaminGeiger** · 12-15-2004, 06:24 PM

Jas: It's nice to live so close, but it's offset by having to drive 70 miles each way to and from school. (Yes, that's 70 as in seventy. I attend USF in Tampa.)

Brian: I think we met during RADP-7 or -8 (more likely -7 if you were there, since I spent most of the MegaMouseMeet at -8 sitting in a corner listening to my iPod... I couldn't deal with the crowds). I go by "tanuki" or "Phoon" in #radp-friends. Maybe I'll explain those later. ;-)
