It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I was Fred P. on Table Talk. (Very, very, very briefly.)

In other news, turns out I have a compressed spinal cord. Should be correctable by routine surgery, but I'll probably be off work for a week or two. Hoping this corrects the pain, tingling, and numbness in my left arm and hand.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Other early handles that I don't use at all anymore include dundus (Jamaican for albino) and Xaymaca (indigenous Jamaican word for Jamaica). I think I had AOL handles under both names. Everything else I used ten, fifteen years ago, I still use.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ouch, Fred!

I have some non-my-name logins floating around now, but it's pretty much the first time I've done that.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

My first AOL screennames were all Mulder###, Mulder912 being the one that stayed with me post-AOL.

I probably have ten handles in current use. Wait, now that I think about it, dundus is still active. I use it at AO3. Maybe closer to 15 active, really.

I should probably take lunch. I need a break.

I'm sorry, Fred. I hope the surgery goes well and you heal quickly.

I chose Calligrafiti as an online handle about 10 years ago and never really felt the need for another. Calli's just a nickname of that.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ouch, Fred! I hope the surgery is easy on you and does the trick.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I think that all of my online names have been some variation on my actual name. Either my real name, or a nickname, or a version of my name in some other language, and I've used my Hebrew middle name for several things.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

My stomach is upset. It has been for, like, three days. It does not like camp food, apparently.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My handles are separated by swathes of plausible deniability. Oceans and oceans of the stuff.

Why am I still at my desk? Good god, y'all.
