I can't even.

Catching up:

I also think it's distinguishable from JohnSweden, say, because one has the potential for confusion, and I don't think John's pseud does.

Whew!

Also, if there were to be confusion, I hope it would be in the same humorous vein that caused me to go with this nick. I worried that the pseud might be seen as a little presumptuous maybe, but not that anyone would think I was posing as Da j-man.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

I have no idea who the J man is. JohnSweden is you, to me.

Thank you, Deena!

(j-man is joss. JohnSweden is from an interview Joss once gave about Hollywood taking his calls now)

Hee, I just took it for granted it was your name JohnSweden. Until I just read this and said it kinda fast. That's creative, the way a pseud should be, without trying to pass yourself off as something you're not.

Pht. Poser.

My name is utterly factual, and 100% accurate. A starving, deranged eighteenth century noblewoman told me so.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

For what it's worth, I was a little antsy when you turned up, JohnSweden. But I didn't fuss about it for a couple of reasons. 1) joss was already here, as joss, and 2) you turned out to be, you know, cool.

That is funny. Obviously, I'm a bad fan, but it's funny.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

JohnSweden fell into the "I know the guy, don't hurt one of my own!" category.

Same for Princess of Darkness. She's young, English isn't her first language. She's starry eyed and also darling and generous. And she uses lots of LOLs and *g*s in every post. She shills her site, much like the Hellmouth dude. Twas worried about her. One of my own, though.

Not to get all Sally Field, but thanks.

PoD is very nice. Her mom seems very nice in a "this is my very pretty very young daughter and I will kill you, nice to meet you" kind of way.

Apologies for natter, but ...

Where/when did that happen? I am intrigued + also didn't think I had skipped anythything.
