*grins* I thought you were but many years ago, I was substitute teaching 5th graders and there was little blond boy(named Casey) I sent to the restroom to find the lagging boys and bring them back when she said to me, "I can't go there, I'm a girl!" since then, I cover my butt!

Heh, no, I completely understand. I'm pretty used to it online. The number of people who have thought I am an Asian dude named Wayne...

snort.

...and I keep meaning to ask this: How *does* your name break down? I keep reading it as "kung fu wayne who" but that confuses me slightly...

You're reading it right. The story's not all that interesting. When my family first got internet a looooong time ago, we didn't realize we could have more than one email account on our computer. So my dad set it up and we all used it (for like three months, until I figured it out and made my own). His middle name is Wayne, when he was a kid his mom's nickname for him was Who-Who. (I have no idea.) So the email was waynewho. I started signing off my emails with some kind of adjective/participle/word related to how I was feeling. So, Happy!WayneWho, Studying!WayneWho, Tired!WayneWho. One day I signed KungFu!WayneWho and that was that. I signed up for my own first email as kungfuwaynewho, and the first time I registered at a message board that was my user name. I don't even really parse it out as those words anymore; it's just...my name.

Though I occasionally think I should switch to something else, because I think it's hard to take it seriously.

Hee! Well, that makes sense now, so my brain will stop glitching up slightly every time I see your username. :P (I do love the histories of Internet handles--so many names have these little stories behind them, and because they're not limited to the usual First, Last, and Middle sort of names, the stories are far more interesting!) Anyway I was parsing it as "Kung-fu Wayne, who [did something]," but this makes sense in context. Thank you! (And sorry for making you repeat the story for what is probably the ten-dozenth time.)

:D

The third annual multifandom tentacle_fest is open for prompts on March 15th. The post with the schedule, and other pertinent links is here: http://tentacle-fest.livejournal.com/30351.html

I'd love it if you could include the news in an edition sometime in the next few days, if at all possible. It would be cool to get some participation from Babylon 5 fans. Thank you!

We rotate updates and I'll make sure it gets in the next one. I don't think there was one this week... I'll check and if there is, I'll have her add your info.

There's a massive fan-made B5 sequel going on on both livejournal and tumblr. Here's the link to one of the masterposts if you want to follow it. There's new content added pretty much every week, if not several times a week:
