What is up with that? Did someting steal your aliensoul? Have you been acculterated to Earth?

(I ain't typing VertigoSchism77 all the time - but VS77 has a lot of interesting squiggles and zags - it also resembles the code name for a biological-weapon-grade virus)

You can still call me alien or Mr. Schism if your nasty.

@Boone--I was told I must live among you as an equal but I get to keep the synthetic clitorisizer.

Mr. Schism, I like it. It tend to pronounce it in Dutch though, and that's not exactly cute.

I decided to go back to aliensoul77 because people were making such a big deal about it.  I am doomed to be an alien.

Nobody gave a shit when I changed mine. I don't know how to feel about that--obviously I am not spending enough time here.

I took note, I appreciated it because I liked it, and then accepted it quietly.

But do you get it? There is exactly one person on the forum that I know gets it, because we were discussing the book that inspired it, and he'd be a fool to miss it.

Sparrows --> headache --> Stark, right?  I was like 14 when I read it, so I might have misremembered.

@Panda--thank you, it's nice to know someone cares!

@Utah--the two things together are a duality. Stark is the bad part of Thad, and he comes to life and fucks everything up--the sparrows are what tell of his coming, to protect Thad, and in the end, take him away. The recurring line in the book is "The sparrows are flying again" and it's in reference to when Stark takes over and Thad pretty much writes without control. I like to think of it as the mystical part of the writing process--not having control over your writing. It was also a book that scared the shit out of me way back when. I revisit it often.

At least you didn't change your avatar as well.  When people change avatars I lose all sense of direction in this forum.

All this name changing. *grumble grumble grumble* How's anyone ever supposed to keep track?

Is it lame that I have used the same username online for ten years now?

I had to stop using my old one xy77boy when I was 25 and was still calling myself boy, I knew I had issues. Kinda like Kid Rock who is in his 40's.

Well it's a relief to know you don't have issues any more, alien.

Why is the 77 on the end of everything, lucky number/inches?

I wouldn't assume anything with him but the position.

My mind must just be in the gutter if that is true.
