Username: Blackbyrd2. For a brief while, shortly after losing faith, I spent some time exploring Wicca before discardung it for the same reasons I discarded all other faiths. Wasn't so nice as Raven or Wolf or anything like that, but for that reason I felt more like it was real. Just a simple, unassuming blackbird. I still find blackbirds constantly in my life when times are interesting, and it's a harmless conceit to think they're hanging about watching me. I modified the spelling for uniqeness purposes. I've been using it since about 1999. The 2 is a whole other story.
My name is Albert Guy, named after my grandfathers. Interestingly enough, neither one is actually a blood relative, I think. I know Albert wasn't, (who used to pinch me so hard it hurt) and I don't think Guy was either. What kind of fucked up person names their kids after grouchy step-grandparents??? It's no wonder I have issues.
The Journal is The Terran News Network because for a few years, I was arrogant enough to think I was actually bringing news to people. (And, of course, being on the net, it's worldwide, not provincial. I tried to focus on bringing other nation's viewpoints to my posts.) Well, to be fair, I did post a lot of articles which might not have hit people's radar for a couple more days otherwise. Anyway, I never changed it because there's no other real point to my journal these days. Once I get a new focus, I might change it. We'll see.
Friends, because I've never changed it, and because I'm pretty proud of all my friends.
This IS my default usericon, partly because it looks like me, and partly because so many of my old posts with default icons are angry, angry rants. :)
