Talk, Talking A Lot, But It's Still Talk

Changed my FF.Net penname back to Contrarian. I switched it to Kaybur for consistency's sake, but after being Contrarian for so long I kind of flinched every time I looked at my profile page.

Interestingly enough, I went to FF.Net with the intention of switching my name, but before I did I noticed that I had a review for my Stranger Than Fiction fic, which I thought I'd read first. Turns out the great majority of that review was devoted to complaining about the fact that I'd changed my penname and asking why I'd taken down some stories. It came across as kind of belligerent, to be honest, and I almost left my name the way it was in the interest of being contrary, but the very fact that I was tempted to do that cemented my decision to switch back to Contrarian. It's appropriate, see?

Yeah, this is all so typical of me. I'll just...go to Biology now. *slinks off in embarrassment*

What with preparing for college and all that, the time seemed ripe for a change.  I guess switching up internet identities yet again was the easiest possible way.  (Actually, I'll take any excuse to do that: the moon was in Aquarius, I dropped a pencil, it's my dad's birthday...it's all valid.)

Besides, over a month without internet access was severely traumatic.  I just need to put that experience behind me.  But it did give me time to start planning - and actually writing - what I hope and pray will become a bona fide novel.  And fractions of ficlets, but the potential book is what really excites me. 

That and my room assignment - I'm in a single!  The sweet land of stuff that stays where I put it!  Turning in my housing application in the beginning of October was the smartest thing I've ever done.  *triumphant laughter*

That said, I'm off to refriend people.
