“Mr. Grimm” was a character on an old video game called Twisted Metal. He rode a motorcycle, in a game where all other characters had a car, or truck, or enclosure. I have rode, or been on motorcycles since I was a baby. At the time when I got the name, I was a teenager. I was….... Well, an interesting person in society. I am no angel now, but I am not the scourge of the Earth I was anymore.
I am also a lifelong pessimist, so the “grim” part had a double meaning. I have pretty much stuck with one variation of the name or another when gaming, or doing something online. Some of my older friends would remember a time when I actually went by the nickname. Those times seem forever ago, and it’s hard to believe that I somehow survived that lifestyle…
8, is my number. Specifically three 8’s. I actually got three 8’s worked into my sleeve (tatoo) on 8/8/08. I was thrilled to get my digits inked on the actual day.
My avatar is obviously a generic Fluther one. I guess I like it, as homage to this great place. I’m not sure any avatar would do me justice. I am one of the more unique people on this rock, and often feel like I am an alien on my own planet, or don’t belong. I do love animals, so a jellyfish is just as good as anything else…
