Day 27 - supersharayah

I don't think I've ever formally addressed the story behind my screen name anywhere. I've been asked a few times why I decided to brand myself as "supersharayah" online, and I've always just explained it to them. I think I might make a video about this sooner or later, just in case someone decides to ask.

The story behind my screen name isn't very long. To be honest it's because I'm super and my name is Sharayah. There you go. Haha. Okay, let's step away from the 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' reference and get to the real story. [Just a side note: I really do love that movie. It's SOO good! haha].

Even at an early age I was a social media junkie. Back in my middle school years, I acquired my first taste of social media through an instant messaging site called AIM. Mind you this was during the time of myspace, which I actually didn't have until my 8th grade year, but that's a whole other story. I used AIM a lot to chat with my friends. And when I grew tired of my screen name, I would just change it. I probably changed my screen name four or five times.

Some drama went down my last year of middle school and by the time I got to high school I decided I needed to have an official screen name. One I wouldn't grow tired of, give out to just anyone or feel like I needed to change every five minutes. I recall having a conversation with a Mr. Brian Thomas McDonald on AIM nonetheless, and during this conversation I asked him what my new screen name should be.

He thought a little while and said "supersharayah". I thought it over and decided it would probably be a good choice. I then proceeded to ask him why supersharayah? And he replied, "Because one day I'm going to teach you how to fly." I of course laughed, but it just kind of stuck. So every social media site I sign up for, I've always claimed "supersharayah". So if you go anywhere online and look up supersharayah, it's probably me. haha.

And also, Mr. Brian Thomas McDonald, if you're reading this, I'm still waiting for my flying lessons! :P
