Squawk Ident

Sagittarius Horoscope for week of May 27, 2010

Sagittarian writer Samuel Clemens was best known under his pen name, Mark Twain. But he tried many others, including Thomas Jefferson Snodgrass, W. Epaminondas Adrastus Blab, Trismegistus, and Sergeant Fathom. Since you're in a phase when experiments with your persona would be productive, I suggest you dream up a few aliases of your own. I hope that at least one of them will be as wacky as "Blab" or "Snodgrass." Having a sense of humor about yourself will be helpful. It will ensure that your explorations at the frontiers of your identity will be fertile, fun, and never fear-based.

Enough people have called me "Scott" by mistake that I suppose I could adopt it in some fashion. In previous eras, I've been "Brenten Stair", "The Stem", "Stone Tepid" and "Steverino". I like playing with name generator programs too. But don't expect me to change my handle here anytime soon...sad as it is, it fits me about as well as the name my mother gave me.

Last vacation, I was relatively gadgetless. My camera was broken. I borrowed my brother's laptop or other people's computers, granted. But my last trip was somewhat low-tech.
