My son knew I was trying to think of a cool username. As I was reaching up to kiss my honey, I made a comment, ?Geez, I?m always kissing up.? My son said, ?that?s a good username mom.?

My Troll Shaman's name in EverQuest (which I quit about a year ago). I just thought it sounded like a Troll name (trolls aren't too bright), and the good ones (Thak, Gug, etc.) were taken.

The more I see, the more real to life my namesake becomes. Doublespeak and Doublethink are the norm, so I went with it.

I'm lucky to have parents who never gave up on me and were secure enough financially to ship my ass off to reform school and then pay my way in college.

I'm lucky to have a job (newspaper photography) that I enjoy, even though I don't get paid enough.

I'm lucky to have an incredible girlfriend who was just declared free of cancer at 24 after a near death experience this summer.

^^ Winner :)
