A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away… haha, just kidding. Not sorry, have to throw in some nerdy stuff once in a while, eh? The Boyfriend and I finished a chronological Star Wars binge not too long ago (we skipped some filler) 😛

Many, many moons ago… wow, it’s been at LEAST 10 years?! UGH…

ANYHOO! I signed my son (Aiden) and myself up for an Autism Minecraft server. I created my username with a mashup of “elephant” (my favorite animal) and a foreign word… don’t ask me what language I used, what the word was, or what it meant… I’ve slept since then, and not very well haha. But yeah, my username was: Elenachia (Ehl-eh-nay-shuh). Long story short, one of the Admins couldn’t say my name correctly in vc (voice chat), so they called me “Enchilada” aaaaaand… it stuck. Hard. Lmao. So, instead of trying to correct it, I ran with it and changed my username to “TheEnchi.” I also have a habit of shortening names to 2 syllables so it’s easier to remember. Good times!

Some time went by and I had surgery. I got a Spinal Cord Stimulator installed. This meant that I was [un]officially a Cyborg. I toyed with other labels, of course, but I liked that one the best, so I morphed my username into “TheCyborgEnchi” and that’s what I’ve gone with for a few years. By then, I also owned and managed (with friends) my own Minecraft server, tried to start a YouTube for it (there’s legit ONE intro video lol), and the community had a “Good Luck” party on the server for me just before surgery.

And now, here we are, in present day. I’ve given ownership and management of my server to my cousin Emily recently, because I just don’t have the brain space or energy to keep it up any more. She’s young and full of energy and sass, so I think she’s gonna do really great!

But I digress… I have surgery a week from today to have my Cyborg parts removed, and I have been thinking a lot about that. I like being a “Cyborg” – but that title will [un]officially be removed along with the gadget that qualifies me for it. Soooo… what to do?! Well, the opportunity hit me very suddenly when I recently downloaded the chess.com app so I could have my Big Brain Boyfriend kick my ass at chess once in a while (because I’m a glutton for that, I guess lmao). When it asked me to create a username… I recalled that my boyfriend often goes by WearsPants or some other version of that, and thus “EnchiPants” was born! Mwahaha! You can let your imagination run wild with why hahaha. I giggled maniacally as I sent him a friend request on the app and excitedly waited… watching his face, because I’M FUNNY, DAMNIT!

And there you have it, folks… The FULL Evolution of EnchiPants! Kinda funny that it technically means Enchilada Pants… that may come up in surprising ways in the future… HMMMMMM…
