ESL Blogs

I noticed many my.EC members are using their real name. They write it fully, half of it, nick name only and maybe using abbreviation of their name. That’s no fancy for me, but when it comes to such a philosophy's name, I wonder why did that person choose that name. I hope I am not alone here so I post this to know if some people here feel the same with me. Long time ago I’ve got an experience relate to this, here is it.

Don’t judge a book by its cover, I think i should apply this idiom more often, especially in the past.  Years back I was playing online game. There I joined a guild and met someone with very intriguing name ‘Sad’. I know in online world we could choose name as we like, but I never see such person choose a sentiment name like that. Especially in game world, we usually pick up exaggerating name for example ‘The Lord of Darkness’. This ‘sad’ is a female priest or healer, the strongest among us. All of guild members include me, love her because she was so powerful and easily defeated enemies. I asked about her to other members, all of them knew just a little because she was a taciturn. I was so taken aback when found out Sad is ‘male’. I heard he was a technician, but I wasn’t sure.

One day I got a chance to play with him and had a little conversation, He didn’t talk too much but i could feel his kind heart. He shared me his inventories and didn’t get annoyed by my bad English. At least I know Sad wasn’t ‘female’ sad at all. He just had different way to expressing himself.

After that I almost never asked my self  about one’s nickname until now I post this blog, why? Because it tickled my mind, lol xD
