Well, mine's fairly shallow. When I was in middle school we read some Poe, and I always really enjoyed the way the verses flowed in the raven. I was also kinda casual goth back then. Guess philosophically I still kinda am, but I wear colors now. Anyway, I memorized the entire poem and could spout it off by memory. There was a certain darkness and longing to it, which I felt portrayed the state of humanity as a whole, so when I got my first e-mail account, theraven, the_raven, and whatever else were already taken, and the_raven39 was a suggestion by the site, so I took it and just kinda kept it. I'm a creature of habit. I also like the concept of the raven as a creature. It's dark and strong, and unlike the crow, it has the advantage of size, and a more aggressive temperment. Crows are just surly little rabble birds. Oh, just as a side note, in the movie, The Crow, the bird was actually a raven. Not important, I just always thought it was funny, like how in Karate Kid, the kid was taught Kung Fu.
