Guilty Parties

If anyone is looking for other PW people on there I'm just on by my real name - Marcia Allass.

I have no idea how I got talked into being on there but I blame comics, as that seems to account for 90% of my friends on there, followed by about 5% army and 5% ex boyfriends and assorted randomness.

In fact I almost wholly blame Warren Ellis for most things to do with my life post-getting on the 'Net. He's my doppelganger and should be ashamed of himself for leading me astray into forum modding and random booze-ups in London.

One of my high school friends sucked me in to Facebook -- and now a bunch of my grad school cohorts and I whine about our workload together on there.

If anyone wants to add, you can find me under my real name.

Cathryn Gasztonyi

Yeah, my last name is teh complicated -- it's Hungarian :P

Do people say "Bless you!" when you introduce yourself?

XD

*snickers*

It's not quite that bad. It's pronounced Gastony -- so basically, it sounds just like it looks, but without the extra letters.

People generally just assume I'm Italian.

Unless I pronounce it Gos-ton-ee -- which is how you're really supposed to do it. And I avoid doing that, because me and my fake, eastern european accent amuse me a little too much.

:P

What's really funny, is people who are trying to pronounce it when they're reading it -- I get all kinds of amusing things.

I have a stupid name myself, so I feel quite comfortable making fun of other people's names. It's my only joy in life.

Leigh Carney on Facebook, Ave Maria '08 or Edison '07 networks, if anyone cares to add. I'm the one listed as "in an open relationship with Miles Edgeworth". Message me and I'll add you.

(("Hilda" is actually closer to my real name and what my family calls me, but the one my mama gave me is the same as a popular politician and the jokes got old, so I changed it to a variant of my father's.))
