When I was 15, one of my good friends in school started coming up with a new nickname for me every day. My name is Fredrik so they would all start with an F. I can't remember all of them but they included Frop, Frog, al Fresco, and Flex. I thought Flex had a nice ring to it, and I was really into Metallica at the time, the way you're into stuff when you're 15, so I added 'xxx' thinking everyone would understand it was a reference to the song Fixxxer, and not some porno thing.
I guess I was wrong.
But that was around the time I found Grav, and I used that name everywhere for a while. My primary e-mail was even flexxx4@gmail.com for a long time. Ah, those days. It's not a username I use anywhere else at this point, and I considered asking Gondee to change it, but I feel some affection and nostaglia towards it now. Plus I saw the negative backlash that Tunes recieved when he changed his name completely, and I can't just remove the X'es without removing the soul of the username, haha.
