A little over a year ago, I joined DSiPaint in dire need of something to do, I found people to talk to and told them everything, pretty much. But one thing I have NEVER explained to anyone was the complexity of my username.
Those who were here with me the whole time, my username varied from rval74 to RVAL74 (on JABINATOR day), but around Novemeber, my username changed to RVaL74. Lots of people were wondering why I have a lower-case "a". Some thought I was being creative, and most thought my name, Rob Valentine, was the full complexity of my username.

No

The truth is, far back in time, 7 years ago, I had the best group of friends you could ever imagine, we'd talk everyday, we'd hang out at each other's houses every night. They're names were Victor, Alrick, and Lauren, hence R (Rob) V (Victor) A (Alrick) L (Lauren). I still hang out with them every day...except one. In September 2010, Alrick had been diagnosed with lung cancer to excessive amounts of secondhand smoke, being his parents were heavy smokers. Around Halloween, he died, coughing heavily at 9pm, he just died. The whole group was depressed. I became socially depressed and hate to talk about this, but I needed to let it out. The reason the "A" became "a" was because Alrick had died and I couldn't talk about it, the most I could do was a caps drop. Now you know, thank you for reading.
