You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Gus has put up a rough list of active names. There's a link here:

Kate let me know, and I'll switch it to whatever you like.

This heart ain't gonna cut itself out

I kind of like OtherKate, but the first thing I thought of was "the other white meat" which made me laugh.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

We have Kat, Kat Allison, kat perez, katalene, Kate P., katefate, Katerina Bee, katewrath, Kathy, Kathy Astrom, kathya11, Katie D, Katie M, katje9, KatsInNuyork, katya, and Katya P.

And yet, whenever the subject of multiple names comes up, Jess is the example that gets used...

Jess M., JessPMoon, Jesse, and JesseBelle (who I imagine must wear a pink cowboy hat).

I can go with OtherKate. I've never been fond of the first letter of my last name. Too many days of being last in line because of alphabetization or something. Stupid W.

Thanks!

Done. You may want to add a note about the change to your tag for a little while.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Don't mean to natter in here, but...

OtherKate, I was unreasonably excited when I got married and moved all the way up to the second letter in the alphabet.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

t weeps for the letter W

Great, now I'm picturing some Sesame Streetesque big foamy W looking all sad and droopy. I'm sorry, W!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

And I'm imagining Vamp Puppet!Angel just decimating that poor W. Two V's anyone?

I do like the name change, OtherKate.
