That’s right... keep digging deeper.....

Ok, the story of how I got "Torn Rose"….

In February 1995 we finally got a new PC that was fast enough to run the game I was just DYING to play, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls:_Arena

(I still have that 120 MHZ)

I wanted a name for my character that would fit into the game like “Conan” but I wanted something more original. I had just bought Toni a dozen long steam roses for Valentine’s Day and they was in a vase on the desk when I saw the thorns on the steams so I thought “Rose Thorn” for a name, but that was too “girly” so I switched it to “Thorn Rose” and fell in love with that name.

3 days later I realized I left the “H” off the name and had wrote “Torn Rose”…. Which I loved even more and took it as my “name”.

When we started working on our site in late 1999 I just started to use it, and for the most part I used just “Torn” but a few places I used “Torn Rose” and just liked it better…

So there.
