        It's a chess opening. It's very aggressive and risky, so it doesn't really match my personality at all.

          If I ever explained mine I'd get in trouble -- or more trouble than usual (see sig line). So I don't.

          I'm always still in trouble again

            Jedidiah is just who I am, beloved of God. I started out about a million years ago (not long after the forum started) as beeman. That just reflected my interest in bees and my hobby.

              Mine stems way back to the days of IRC and the #ChristianTeenTalk and #WWJD channels (so mid to late 90's). There was another member with the same first name as me, and both of us used first name and initial to identify ourselves, this caused confusion to some of the other denizens, so I picked my favourite Arch-Angel, Raphael from the book of Tobit.

                I like to write music, and I made a game about a girl named Melody. (But it wasn't until after I came up with my user name that I discovered Ephesians 5:19 to go with it into my signature.)

                  My adopted pseudonym based inclusive of one of the most interesting eras of Russian history and an inspiration from of my favorite classic stories retold in multiple movies, two of which I really enjoyed.

                    I'm a fan of sci-fi, fantasy, superheroes, comic books, and decent quality cartoons. In various other venues over the years, in addition to variations on my own real name, I used such monickers as Clive Arno, J'onn J'onzz, and X777 (an oblique, Christianized reference to "Experiment 626") before settling on Norrin Radd, which is now the one I use whenever possible.

                      I'm a Christian and I enjoy reading books. Someone who likes to read is often called a bookworm, so...

                        A friend and I were once going to try and make a comic book once, and Cerebrum is the name of one of the characters. The 123 is because it's often taken already.

                          For some reason I always think of the old indie comic Cerebus the Aardvark when I see your username.

                            I'll have to use that some time when other alternatives to Cerebrum are taken.

                              I needed a username for my first AOL email address. Couldn't think of anything. Turned over Goldie's drum n' bass album Timeless that was in front of me, and that had just come out that year or the year before (1995), and saw the song titled "Adrift", so I went with that.



                              Its weird how much these sorts of usernames become part of your identity. I've met some great people over the years, hung out with them in real life, and they know my real name, but will only call me "Adrift", or "Drifty". That's just how they know me. Its also been a bit of a troll magnet for both some Christians and skeptics who've noted it, and used it to imply something about my faith in a sort of immature one upmanship.
