Kaliza's 'Vital Signs'


This is the page where you can find my 'personal information'. I'm not sure what you'd like to know, but if there's something you'd like to see here, please email me.  Unless it is something overly personal or disgusting, in which case please DON'T email me.

Ok, first off, my 'real' name is not Kaliza. Too bad, it's much more interesting than my real name, Elizabeth. I have a very large number of aliases/nicknames, many of which are used only online. Most of my nicknames came from books. I'll give a short list of a couple nicknames and where I got them.

  • Kaliza, which you see here, is from Kalika (which I also use). I originally got the name Kalika from 'The Last Vampire', a series of books by Christopher Pike. The name Kalika is from Kali, an Indian goddess. Kalika is pronounced (by me anyway) Kah-li-kah.
  • Ralka- (pronounced Rallka or Ral-ka) I love this name. It came from a very good book called Cats Have No Lord. In the book, all the animals had a Lord, and Ralka was the name of the Lord of Wolves. He was a villian in the book. Someone actually wrote me asking where it came from. They said they wanted to use it for the name of a dragon in an RPG they were making. I'm not sure if the ended up using it or not...
  • STAR- (yes, all caps) STAR was a name I first used on a MOO. The reason I used it is I had been using the name Sirius (the Dog Star) but my sister took that name, so I wanted another 'starry' name. I couldn't think of a good one, so I picked star. Not just any old star, hence the all-caps, STAR.
  • Tails- Tails is a character from the Sega Genesis game series, Sonic the Hedgehog. I always liked the character, and I somehow ended up with the name. I also have a computer named Tails-- actually I think that's how I got called it first, because my computer had a sticker that said 'Tails' on it...
  • Lucienne- (pronounced Loo-see-enn) This name is the female version of Lucien, which is the name of a vampire from the tv show Forever Knight. I originally chose the name for a school French class. Everyone had to pick French names, and that's the name I picked. The funny thing is, for the next 3 years, my old French teacher would always call me Lucienne when he saw me in the halls (as would any people I had known from the class)... I also sometimes use the name Vachon online, which is from the same show.
  • Xia- This is one of my favorites. I got the name from a silly Young Adult book called 'My Zombie Valentine'. Zia was the name of one of the zombies (they all had names beginning with 'Z'), but changed to an "X"- Xia. It's pronounced Zia. I also use the name Lia.
  • NightStalker- I sorta got this name from a great book called Tailchaser's Song. The characters were all cats. There was one named DayStalker and one named NightHunter, so I mixed the two. I used this name for a character I made up, a mysterious black cat (on a MOO). It fits. I only later learned of the movie with that name...
  • Random- This is a young female character from Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide books-- I think she showed up in Mostly Harmless. I just liked the character and the name, so I used it on the moo.

    Ok, that was kinda a long list... Now, let's get on to my history. There's not really much to tell. I was born and raised in Chicago, IL, and that's where I live. I haven't been to any foreign countries (yet) exept Canada, which doesn't really count... If you really want to know my age, email me. I personally don't think things like age, ethnicity, and appearance are all that important. If you'd like to know what I look like, there are a few pictures on the main page. 

  •  You can pretty much learn anything you'd like to know about my interests by looking through the main page, but here is a short bit anyway. I like reading and writing, especially horror, fantasy, and humor books. Sci-Fi is good too but not straight tech-y stuff. I also like cyberpunk. I love horror movies, even bad ones. I love animals/pets but if you didn't figure that out before now you weren't paying attention! You can find out what else I like to do on the main page (scroll down most of the way.)


Websites I 'subscribe' to
I don't know why you'd want to know this, but here's a list of sites you can find me on!
The links lead to my page on that site (when possible)

  • That's all for now. I really can't think of any other information to put here. Again, if there's anything you'd like to see here, email me.
