« Santa | Main | Cypheroid Says »

missing entries of my vacation and undeciperable secrets

Nov. ?, 2006
Changed my screen name from NarutoNinja to Cypheroid. This was done partly because Naruto was over used and that I wanted something unique so I came up with Cypheroid.

Cypher is usually spelt with an "i" (Cipher), however, a "y" in the word looks cooler and is still considered correct. I wanted a suffix with this word to make it unique and came up with Cypherex but a google search on that pulled up a lot of info. Then I looked up a list of suffixes and found -oid, meaning to resemble. I googled Cypheroid and found that it was used in an animated series from 1986 called the Inhumanoids. Cypheroid was the name of their 6th episode. So it turned out that I didn't totally come up with the word first but I didn't care. It was mine! Since it was still considered something relativly unused, I felt safe to use Cypheroid as a new screen name. From now on, I will be known as Cypheroid.

Went to Golden Gate Bridge and walked across it and back. It took nearly 2 hours. Had dinner at Calzones.

Driven for the first time in California in an unfamiliar car. It was slightly nerve-racking but fun at the same time. I couldn't tell the difference between 20mph and 35mph. I'm not sure if it was the car, because it was so close to the ground or not. I'm more used to driving higher off the ground and I can tell the difference between 10kph.

Played Bocce ball with Adam, Mike and Winona at night at the Yahoo! Bocce ball court at night. We played till it was nearly midnight. I had quite some fun and the atmosphere was really pleasant, it being at night and calm.
