Random Questions

Slow morning here, still tired and sore from yesterday's events. Ned Flanders is complaining about his computer again so I'm listening to iPod tunes to drown things out.

So here are some random questions from the internet and other sources....

1. What does your screen name mean?
   
2. Would you like to change your screen name?
   
3. How different are you now than you were five years ago?
   
4. What Saturday Night Live character is your favorite?
   
5. Get Fuzzy, Garfield or Opus.. and why?

My Answers...

1. I was just trying to create a screen name for chatting and stuff. I knew I wanted to reference Kentucky (and the KY jelly reference was unintended but seems funny now), I felt I was more bear than cub, and "fuzz" had a double meaning as I am somewhat furry and also work for law enforcement (somewhat)... so "Kybearfuzz" was born.
   
2. There are times I wish I had given it more consideration and selected something less cumbersome, but I'm known by it by so many and on so many sites, it would seem difficult to change it now. I like to keep it simple I guess.
   
3. Oh, vast difference. Five years ago I was new at my current job and in the closet, a (bigger) mass of insecurities. If you talk to people who knew me back then and asked them to compare old me and current me, I think they'd say I'm more outgoing than I was before. Coming out was a big burden off the old shoulders and it's made me more social. Dating is fun too. So is homeowning. Oooh.. and sex...!
   
4. I will always love Gilda Radner, her Roseanne Rosannadanna always made me laugh. The new SNL crew just doesn't cut it for me.
   
5. I love them all, but Get Fuzzy has to win now. Bucky is plain evil and the cartoonist has a great sense of humor. Honestly, I haven't seen much of the new Opus.

1. What does your screen name mean?
Long time ago, in college, I had a friend that was from Thailand. His family was quite well-to-do, and he had grown up with 'manservants' as we called them. So he was a little... bossy. One day, in a heavy Thai accent he says to me as he's sitting at the kitchen table, "MIKIE! GO GET ME A COKE!" I was in the living room. My response was, "What am I..? Your bitch?!" He says, "No.. you're like a pet... do as I say... like my doggie... Mikiedoggie! Mikiedoggie! Go get me a Coke!" And I've kept the nickname ever since, which is apropos since I like dogs.

2. Would you like to change your screen name?
Not really. Some people seem to think it indicates a sexual preference which is something I never really thought of (see answer#1) at the time. The only other screen name that I really like is "mjm4" which I still have, and came from my first e-mail address of 16 years ago.

3. How different are you now than you were five years ago?
I'm not sure about that. I think my personality leveled out about six years ago. However, once thing that I've noticed is that as the years progress, I have become more and more content with myself despite my many anxieties. Although the body winds down, mentally I find myself looking forward to my future, and enjoying my present more than I did in the past.

4. What Saturday Night Live character is your favorite?
Phil Hartman's "Caveman Lawyer" will always have a place in my heart. But my classic favorites are "Doug and Wendy Whiner."

5. Get Fuzzy, Garfield or Opus.. and why?
I don't like Garfield. Right now Its "Get Fuzzy" because I love the optimistic naivete of the dog, and Bucky the Cat just rules. Like you, I haven't seen much of the new Opus but I really enjoyed it in the past.

Ah, I have a feeling that your Thai college friend and I would not get along well. I'd be telling him to get off his pampered lazy ass and get it himself. Still, it's a good nick you got from it.

I'm a big Bucky the Cat fan. Though Opus and Bill the Cat will always have a special place for me :)
