Your handle reminds me of a moon climbing through the night to its peak. I should probably either ask its meaning or google it, but I prefer to think of it as a way of describing the moon's climb;-)

You mix humor and insight without taking things too seriously. Agreat combo!

Sadly, no. I had read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and played the Infocom game some time eons ago in high school and the Vogon poem had always stuck in my mind. As I had [mis]remembered it:
Ah, freddled gruntbuggly, thy nacturations are to me
As plurdled globbleblotchits on a lurgid bee...
Thus, as you see, my handle is really based on a misremembering of what turns out to be the word for piss: micturations. So the next time you look up to the moon and a tear forms in your eye, I hope you'll think of m

I originally befriended you because of your sig and insight comments. The sig was the Twain line about people who can't read have no advantage over those who don't. Plus you seemed to have a great sense of humor;-)

There are several things I associate with you, bestselling author, Master of Plasma, great all around guy; the list goes on.

3. Ah, but I am published! In fact, the publicity office is planning on a news feed and media campaign to coincide with my latest publication. I was just working out the details with them this morning. Oh, wait, you mean a fiction publication?

I remembered you from when I was still little more than a lurker back around, well, the turn of the century;-) When I saw some of your JEs and such I went ahead and friended you.

Funny how it's easy to know why people have made you a foe, but hard to know why they've made you a friend.
Re: (Score:2)
Well, to be honest, I don't remember the exact reason why. Usually I will friend someone either because they posted in my journal, they friended me, or, I really like what they have to say. I went back through your more recent comments and I'm pretty sure its the last one;-) Most likely your sig caught my eye and, once I saw that what you had to say was worthwhile I friended you.

IIRC, I was cruising through JEs and saw that you were taking a writing class. I've been struggling to practice my own writing for awhile so I am drawn to other people who are actually doing it.

How are the coding and writing going these days?
Hmmm... I honestly don't remember a writing class. It may have been my short forray into online college classes, just before I got cancer. A lot of that time is fuzzy. I still write short fiction occasionally. I've got a novel bouncing around the back of my head that I don't have the patience to get out. It's probably a lousy novel, anyway. I'm buried in fantasy cliches.
Coding is going well. I built myself a python module that lets me connect through ODBC to the company's AS-400s. It gives me a lot
