The Doctor on: Gamertags

I feel that the next thing I should explain about myself is my Gamertag. A Gamertag is a username, one used by  just about every computer nerd out there. It is your signature, more or less, the one thing that distinguishes you from all the other pasty white guys who still tell stories about the one time, where they saw this girl. Yeah, it was cool. Anyway, the idea of a Gamertag is that everywhere you go (virtually speaking, of course) and everything you do (we use this term loosely, there is not much 'doing' when you just sit in front of a screen drooling) has the same name. I, for one, am the great CTRknight. If you see a CTRknight anywhere online, its me. Or some creep who thought it would be cool to steal my name. If you see a CTRknight that is not me, please let me know so I can hunt him down and give him a sound talking to.

The name originated when I was in fifth grade, and I chose it for the game 'Runescape', and the name tells you a lot about me. One, that I am Mormon and quite proud of it (the name has actually set up some missionary opportunities, where people e ask what 'CTR' stands for and I get to beat them over the head with mormon.org) and two, that I was quite the impressionable youth and thought that the romanticized concept of the knights of the round table was fairly awesome.

I feel that this post is a bit lacking, so I will explain one other thing about myself. My goal in this endeavor is to create the illusion that several different people are writing this blog, or at least one person with Multiple Personality Disorder. Over the course of this blog you will see a teenager who thinks he is hilarious, an old grandmother who is just the nicest person and loves everything, a harsh political analyst, a total nerd, and quite possibly a dozen other people. They really are all me, but I am just weird like that. You will, regrettably, have to live with it. Or don't, but I wouldn't suggest it.
