I only see forward. The past is so far behind, i don't consider it even happened. Any meaning can be ascribed to anything, perspective is everything.

When you ask me my past name, I can't help but shake my head. You have so much to learn in this world, kid.

Names were big in the 00s. You all remember the phrase; "Him name was Bob Hopkins." In the 10's, name theorists named many name theories, but most only care to remember three, or if you're a pedant, two.

A handy mnemonic: pen names are what you call yourself. names are what others call you.

I've had this experience. I used to co-mod an embarassing-to-moderate wiki alongside someone with the handle "futacream". Very jarring.

This isn't surprising in the least but I still wanna know what the wiki was for

This simply won't do. It's nice to see you again, though, Sid.

What anime are you watching?

Yeah, that was a mistake. The people he gave the good names to probably changed them or were lurkers and never posted much.

im permabanned poster niggerstomper58. i first started reading fyad when i was about 12. by 14 i got really obsessed with the concept of “irony” and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like “friend of the family balls” and “i love making GBS threads inside friend of the family assholes” in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing things in the corners of my eyes etc, basically prodromal schizophrenia. im now on antipsychotics. i always wondered what the kind of “ironic” style of fyad humor was all about; i think it’s the unconscious leaking in to the conscious, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenic and schizotypal syptoms. i would advise all people who “get” fyad to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to a mental illness. peace.

Funny story about my old name is it was based on the first online name I had, which I made in my early teens so it was super immature. I happened to be paired up with a girl I had a crush on. We talked on the phone about the assignment and she told me her AIM name so I could chat with her. When she saw my AIM name she made fun of me and asked me if I chose that to compensate for something.
