Really I group the three of us together in so many contexts, it's baffling that Jay and I haven't met in person yet. What's he like, Th.?B.G.

Of being Theric. Of being whoever exactly I feel like being.<BR/><BR/>In American culture, we don't come of age and choose a new, more appropriate name--we're stuck with the one our parents gave us.<BR/><BR/>But I don't think that's natural. Take me. Take Fobbie. Take Jay-Z. It is part of nature to adopt new names as part of building a fuller sense of self.<BR/><BR/>Christian and Edgy are not synonymous even if they do both refer to the same person.<BR/><BR/>I like Ben's method, and if you're hellbent on putting your name up front, I suggest doing it his way.Th.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16460795570237872290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15688784.post-9913216792980705712007-11-18T12:14:00.000-07:002007-11-18T12:14:00.000-07:00I love wassail season!

And to think that all I want is to be my own person. ;)<BR/><BR/>Actually, I intend to use <I>The Invisible Man</I> as well. I even had another post percolating in my mind last night wherein that would be an appropriate title. Though, truth be told, I have no qualms about reusing titles.Christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02954160939175918093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15688784.post-2122255093697263432007-11-18T11:11:00.000-07:002007-11-18T11:11:00.000-07:00I'm glad you're back!

You've gone to a lot of trouble to establish Edgy Killer Bunny as a denizen of the blogosphere, after all. You might as well keep him around, even if you put your real name on your profile. What I'm trying to say is that everyone should do like me.B.G. Christensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604354633985676126noreply@blogger.com
