| Because of living in a town named Stella-plage, their habitant is named "Stellien".
My forename is Stéphane (derived from ancient Greek Stefanos wich means the "Crowned".
I think it sounds better mixing both in one "Stellan". In vino veritas

| Will someone take his dial and adjust his brightness?
TV's need a intelegence dial. They have one for brightness, but that does not seem to help.
[edit: Mine broke. there is no help for me.]

| Um, well... the obvious, I wear a blue mask and a blue lame. Out of the colors, they were my favorite choice. I wouldn't even say that blue's my favorite color though.
The not so obvious is that my sorority sisters helped me get into fencing! A couple of them are fencers themselves, the others are always there supporting me. Knowing I have them to fall back on makes it easier to try new things and leave my comfort zone. I know that if I screw up, they'll love me anyway. My sorority's colors are white and azure blue, so I wanted my user name to reflect this part of my fencing "story" too. Fencing for me is about friends, trying new things, and growing. For me it just all goes together!

It's a relatively common name in Sweden.

| Two fold...
My user name goes two ways. In fencing, my two passions are epee and saber. In life, fencing and fingerprints (my job). Pretty simple.

| If you can visit the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C., you can see crystalline structures revealing cumulative accretions formed by a centripetal dynamic in meteor samples. Weapons formed from this iron did not go through the normal metalworking process, yet have a unique pattern reminiscent of Damascus work, or mokume gane. Or, you can go out in your backyard tonight, or drive to the suburbs, and view the Perseid shower--maybe you will end up with a fresh one in your lap (with substances from mega-pre-historic times).
It's not because I'm as fast as a shooting star...

| It's from the 80's..... When Life Gives You Lemons: Make Lemonaide, also to Blueandwhitefencer: what about BlueBird? It might have the effect of making you feel light on your feet when you fence?

| Mine comes from WWI German ace Max Immelmann. He was known for inventing the trick the Immelmann Turn, which is where a plane climbs at a steep angle and then brakes hard and the pilot pulls back hard on the controls to flip the plane around relatively in place--basically a combo of a 180 turn and a flip while staying on the same line (like fencing).
I'm sure I described that inaccurately and an aviation buff will chew me out (it is the internet after all). I chose the name because when a friend of mine was listing moves he could pull in fencing, I decided to mess with him and claimed I was better because I could do an Immelmann Turn. He's still convinced its some sort of parry from Germany.
There, a long explanation to a short name.

| If anyone can explain my name I'd appreciate it. My best guess right now is that it's been through four alphabets (Czech, Russian, Polish and English). | |

I used to sew Championship Irish Dance dresses and used tons and tons of holographic material and rhinestones.. and since I used mostly holographic fabric on the dresses I made, someone said that I was the Queen of Holograms.. So I chose Hologramqueen...
