Asherman is the name I use on my writing and pictures everywhere.
Within the computer network of the City I worked for addresses were assigned by adding a persons first initial to their surname. Now my first name doesn't begin with an "A", but one of the names I use often is "Al". City employees began calling me Asherman, and it stuck.
I use names as I need them, and to fit the occassion. Most of my documents say I'm Norville Wesley Sherman, but that's not quite right. My actual surname at birth was was Cargile III. I carry the same first and middle names as my father. He was called Joe -- among many other names. I believe he did some sensitive work, or at least he could tell some pretty mysterious stories. The Truth, as they say, may possibly be found in some dusty file that will NEVER see the light of day.
What's in a name? An onion is an onion is an onion is a rose.
Just call me Asherman, or the shortened version is Ash. A couple call me Grandad -- that works.
On Abuzz I was PFKFLYER. A friend came up with the friendlier, more feminine nickname, Piffka.
Why does pfkflyer sound so familiar to me?....And I don't remember it from abuzz. Sounds like something from the past.
I was tryin' to log in at the NYT (spent months lurkin', decided to join in . . .) and used the name Cuchulainn, and got a reply that i should add . . . 01, or some such nonsense. So i tried Finnmccoughal, and got the same message. In frustration, i typed "Sentanta," which, although a marginally acceptable variant, was none the less a typo. Again, the idiot program wanted me to add digits. I sent them an e-nastygram about their idiot program, and was rewarded with the reply that they had logged me in with "Sentanta." Well, i later found i could change the name, so i corrected the spelling. Coming here, i simply used a name others would recognize.
I am Heeven.
A friend of mine called me this once and I liked it and so adopted it as my email address. This friend and I tease each other rotten and I am guessing she meant to say "heathen" and it came out sorta wrong. After some belly-laughing I asked her what insult she was trying to get across and she said that I am the devil with some angelic characteristics, so "Heeven" (a mix of Heaven and Hell) was quite appropriate!
