I'm going to tell you the truth. I suck at telling other people about myself, so I'll just do my
best.
Why invalidchars?: I think I'm going to have to answer this question because a couple of people have
thought that I was handy capped or something (invalid chairs or something like that). I am not handy
capped. Here is the story. I play Starcraft once in a while. I kept changing user IDs in there. I
couldn't keep a constant ID, so one day I decided to pick one and go with it. I decided on __________
(all underscores) but that was taken. So, I went with |_|_|_|_|_|_|. That one wasn't taken so I choose
it. I think the first place outside of battle.net that I used that ID was itsyourturn.com. My name was allowed to be used there. Now this is
a time when I didn't have any email address. I knew nothing about emails. For some reason I thought you
had to pay for them. My old email that everyone of my brothers and I used was the one that came with the
internet access that my dad picked. My
brothers also wanted to play on itsyourturn.com and when they put in the email address, of course they
also put 7606hernandez@msn.com. Well, that wasn't allowed there. They said that only one person could
use that email address. So I sent an email about how we can get around that. They sent me a reply saying
that we can get free email almost anywhere. Well, I felt like a dumbass. Now, back to the original
story. I tried that same name (|_|_|_|_|_|_|) in other places, but it always said invalid characters. So
i choose that as my name. Of course spaces weren't allowed in some places, and in other places
invalidcharacters was too long. So I decided to shorten it. I know C++ (a computer language) and there,
a character is defined as char. So i picked that as a substitute. invalidchars. Damn, I knew that was
going to be long.
