So what about your nicknames?

I'll start with mine!
Well, during school, I was pretty creative and liked subjects like literature and art;
however, I somehow liked physics too, and after graduation, i decided to study physics because ... well, I actually don't really know. Sure it was interesting but maybe i just couldn't stand the idea of me not being able to succeed in this subject, because it was said to be very hard; and after all, tell your parents that you want to start your career with literature, film making and art .... yeah, not that of a great reaction.
And yeah it was hard, a subject with a lot of pressure and high rates of people who quit. But i managed to do my bachelor and thought i was somewhat happy.
I started my master studies, wasn't satisfied, moved to a real bad-ass elite university and just HATED it there; people were working like machines, the atmosphere was just horrible and i didn't like it at all;
nevertheless i completed my exams (it was damn hard...) and covered a lot of advanced courses, looking for the "big love" .. a topic i can go on and do research.
Because that was my plan for life: becoming a scientist, doing my phd;
my favourite subject was general relativity and quantum field theory, and i liked the fact of combining both , hence my nickname "quantumgravity".
However, I never found the "big love" and after a very hard year, i realized that i'm just not a scientist... doing physics was nice, but it will never make me happy for the future, so i'm somehow done with it and still have this nickname, lol.
Now i'm going to start what i always wanted to do... grab a part time job and the rest of the time, i'll make films, write, act....
and think about free software of course!! Won't change my nickname though ;) still think it's a quite fascinating topic.

Ok, now it's your turn :P
