I figured it was just redundant repetition (my favorite kind!) or something. Though your signature would be a better explanation   Cup of coffee for you, friend?  |

Yours is a screen name I've wondered about; thanks for sharing! Medical technology is amazing. |

Dear Second Chance,
So did my Dad 12 years ago. And a third chance, he's got a new kidney too.
Love, elephant

Well.... I collect frog-a-belia. Have been since I was a child. Also, I am known to be somewhat old fashioned and traditional. I also have a blog by the same title, but alas, it hasn't been updated in some time. Got to do something about that!

Mine is simple, as well- "Severian" means "related to Severus." In this case, I like to view myself as a student of St. Severus of Antioch.

I understood it the first time  I chose my name because I like St. Cyril of Alexandria, therefore I'm Cyrillic. I could have chosen Cyrillian, but I thought Cyrillic was nicer because of the relation with the alphabet most slavs use. |

Opus 118 is dedicated to Clara whose portrait is my avatar (I have given up on Orthocat figuring out this quiz/joke). I never could understand how Condoleezza Rice could be so blind to say that she liked Brahms because he is not sentimental (although her performance of this piece in Indonesia back when she was Secretary of State certainly reflects this attitude). I thought it meant that you were Opus Dei member #118! It may be true, but I necessarily have no comment. |
