The Pillows - Ride on Shooting Star

In 1996 when the beginning of the internet was just starting to come to us consumers, there was a need for a username.

I had very little talent back then for coming up with anything original (and to this day, I keep finding someone using the name Lexum in MMORPG's, and it's also the name of a sports ball manufacturer in the UK, weird... and a University in Montreal) so I just pounded the keyboard.
lxm, is what displayed, and well... then I added the e and u, cause it sounded the best, and behold, Lexum was born.

Now, to explain my IM name, which I will, also came about in 1996. Lexum was only 5 characters long, and in 1996 Yahoo! messenger needed a username of 6 or more. I was really into Tenchi Muyo! at the time, and Washu was my favorite characters. And well... me being very impressionable at 11 and wishing I could be in the Tenchi universe came up with Washu's Apprentice, or washusapprentice. Which was definitely more than 6 characters.

My current e-mail account llexum@gmail.com was my own fault for adding the extra L. I had Lexum@gmail.com, but I forgot the password to that, and so... I had to come up with something new.

I guess that's it... man I should really start getting onto moving already, the end of the month is coming soon.
