Hey, I'm Charlie!
gratuitous introduction
Well, technically, this isn't just a gratuitous introduction. Wiki formatting would have misrendered this article had I not included text here, because (as you'll note) I am a snob and have therefore chosen to incorporate section headers into my sentences. You will need to readjust your eyes accordingly if you want to view my paragraphs cohesively.
These are the
classes
I took, and the halls I inhabited therewhile:
- LOU 05.1 CODE A, Rob's hall (Ryan 4, I believe)
Since it took me so long to find my home in LAN.2, I never rose to the
prominence
that some of my friends had, but I did manage to:
- keep the ten-year-old Fruitopia in my freezer between '08 and '09, and then drink it (unfortunately, not at Passionfruit, because Debbie had it and she wasn't awake then; I managed to pass it down at an impromptu ceremony outside Keiper after final classes)
- build postctydepression.com and maintain it since 8/27/06! (PCTYD has since spawned things like Project Future, a sporadic webzine called "Forevermore", and a forum community with 300ish members and some 60,000 visits per year)
A great many people have expressed consternation about my
username
which I use on RealCTY, PCTYD, Twitter, and many other sites. It garners more Google results than my actual name.
- It DOES have an official pronunciation: cull-curr-higguh-EER-moh. The third and fourth syllables are generally merged when I say it, though, because I talk fast.
- It can also be pronounced clicker-higga-ear-moe, because Jallegra said so.
- I insist upon using it because I came up with it during my squirrel year at CTY, during Duct Tape Appreciation Day. It's some kind of cipher on my name that we learned in Crypto.
- It's synonymous with ambiguity and frustration. (Don't worry, this is intentional.)
I am forever indebted to Max for teaching me
how "whom" is used
right here on a previous version of this page, and I couldn't bring myself to delete it during this update, so:
I'm not all that important, except for that I run postctydepression.com. And its magazine spawn, Forevermore. And Project Future. Which is kind of a big deal, I guess. It depends on whom you ask.* -* Is it "whom you ask"? "Who" definitely sounds better, either way, but I think it's "whom" here. Somebody please tell me.** -** The proper word is "whom," because an object pronoun is required.*** -*** Thanks, Max. Fixt.
I love
CTY
and I love the Passionfruit. But I love CTY a lot more. Partly because my Passionfruit juice was actually an energy drink called "Venom", and I had been really looking forward to drinking BAWLS.
