14. Teenage PIA is more accurate.
I'm older than you, my dearest Khash. I mostly resemble Einstein these days ...

24. Check your screen name again, my love...
I know where it came from and what it means.

As for Einstein.... you're much cuter.

Now, how do I get to Switzerland?

Khash.

16. Ha ha ha!
"Mrs.matcom lord of hellfire", versus "Head beotch on wheels" probably not much different!"


With a choice like that, elementary school might be a little difficult. Roll call must have been a laugh riot.

Khash.

12. I'd probably have a lot more people asking me what "Anomie" is...
... and why I am "Lost In" it.

Or a lot more people would mistakenly think I an a huge of crappy Japanese cartoons.

17. Well, my life wouldn't be different at all......
Since Peggy is part of my real name!

I do think that YOUR life would be quite different, my dear Oeditpus Rex...

Since your real name bears no resemblance to your username.....

;-)

23. Not much.
Khash is what I usually go by now.

Legally you can call yourself whatever you want as long it's not an attempt to commit fraud.

And I've used so many names.....

Khash.

27. Probably not much different
Been online for so long that my real name is out there, and my screen name for over 13 years has been the same, and associated with my real name. In the beginning it was interesting, but after awhile, it wasn't a big thing.
