Well, there are really two parts to my name (:dissapointed: and I don't just mean the words :dissapointed:).
FIRST- -I was called Sam (samwise gamgee) by my first real crush, for always carrying rope or wishing I had. You need rope people! Anyways, the name stuck. Also, after reading the many J.R.R. Tolkien books out there, I realized he is definitely my favorite character. 'sides, thats a fricken awsome name!!!
SECOND- -When I [i]naturaly[/i] signed up with this name here a version change was due. After I signed up but before I replied to the confirmation e-mail, a day or two's time, the version change took place. The account was lost, frozen, locked, whatever word you want to use, it simply did't work. The e-mail was void, and the name was reserved, so I could not sign up again with it. I simply took the nearest thing.
