About a few months or a year ago, I decided if I ever got a account on here that my username would be "Avant-Garde".

Taking all these in account, I think the name does suit me. Mirroring aspects of my personality as well as things I aspire to achieve. I'm also glad I got this account when I did, it would've been terrible if someone else had claimed this name! However, I did have other names in mind, all which were based on other french terms/movements.
