The Nickname "Anachronist" was a result of my growing unsatisfaction with certain social developments; mainly the development of our TV, our pop-music and so on. I`m using it for years and the meaning it has for me is constantly getting wider. Nowadays it stretches far beyond youth-culture related topics (the sensless all-day-the-same-speeches of our politicans, the concentration on money in every aspect of day to day life and so on..)
An anachronism is something that doesn`t fit in it`s sourounding because it belongs to antoher time period. A old grandfather clock in a brandish new office for example could be considered as an anachronism. An anachronist is someone who does not fit in the time period he is living in. A good friend of mine told me once an anachronist must not be one who is looking backwards, he could also be being ahead of his or her time. I hope the latter is my case
Besides: I like this nick because I think he sounds extremly cool

Well, I come from Scotland and wanted a nick that reflected that.
When I was a kid I learned that Delriata was the Latin word for Scotland. So I used that. Funnily enough, I misspelled it, but kept it for my own nickname.

"Psipsina" is a pet name for a cat, the Greek version of what would be "Mieze" in German. I got it from "Captain Corelli's Mandolin", a book by Louis de Bernières which I enjoyed very much. Somehow I liked the name cos it's funny, and now I use it a lot on the internet.
