.htaccess fake directory and username

Currently I have this code in .htaccess file to create a fake directory

e.g.

http://www.mysite.com/something.php

will then become

http://www.mysite.com/something

I am using the following code for that

Options +FollowSymLinks 
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d 
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteRule ^(\w+)$ ./$1.php

but what I want to do now is allow users to have a url like

http://www.mysite.com/myusername

that url will then point to this page

http://www.mysite.com/profile.php?username=myusername

I just wanted to know if this was possible?

use this,

Options +FollowSymLinks 
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(\w+)$ $1.php [L,NC]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d 
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_.-]+)/?$ profile.php?username=$1 [L,NC,QSA]
