ferrousland.com

why 'ferrousland'?

it started out when my original online nickname was angel. when it came time to register a domain name for myself (as is wont to happen when you spend as much time online as i do) angel.com was obviously not available (actually, i never checked. i just assumed that such a name wouldn't be) so i had to think of something to add to it. shroom helped me think of a new nickname which would then also become the name of my site.

i have a few piercings, so i was thinking of 'iron angel, 'metal angel', etc, you get the point. none of those were quite right, until shroom suggested 'ferrous angel'. that is, ferrous as in ferrous metals, those which contain iron. now this is not entirely suitable when it relates to piercings, since you really wouldn't want any ferrous metals through holes in your body, but it had a nice ring to it, so my new nickname & my site was thus called 'ferrous angel'.

here is where you'll rightly point out that my site is called 'ferrousland', not 'ferrous angel'. originally i registered the domain ferrousangel.com through one of those places which keep the rights to the domain name & simply use a forwarding mechanism to point to wherever your site is hosted, since i only had the free website hosting which is given with most internet connections.

when i did eventually get paid hosting, i had to think of a new domain name & 'ferrousland' was it.
