I'm not quite sure right now how I ever adopted this callname. "I came. I saw. I conquered." In my case, it's more "I came, I saw, I Felt I WAAAAAHOOOOOO THAT IS ME ME ME...." It just felt One with my Spirit, Heart, and Mind. Sat extremely well with my old bones. What the hell, this is one of those situations where the crystal clear memory of the "when-how-&-why" of something can't quite be described in mere words. You can visualize the reason(s) graphically but you can't quite see it in words. Can't quite put a finger on it, but it's THERE. Scythe has been one of my nicknames since I was a child - amongst other nicks, that is. For about 5 yrs I haven't been giving away my real name easily to newly-met folks, usually this will apply to the handful I get to know from the Net. Most people would know me first as Witchblade, formally as Witchblade Scythe. Lately it's been shortened to "Witchie" and "WB". Very few actually have the habit of calling me "Scythe" unless I sign off more often than not, using "Scythe".
