Oh come on Jedz, we all know you're middle name is "Wan", mr. Kenobi.
Ok, I'll let y'all all in on a lil' secret. Once upon a time, many moons ago, my name *used* to be Steven King! Seriously, that is what's on my birth cert. A long time ago I had my name changed; for many reasons, one being because I was sick of the "Oh you're that author blah blah" comments I used to *always* get (and have gotten my entire life). Nikolas was originaly my middle name, and Zane is a long forgotten family name.
So, the point of the story is; I can *empathize* with your friend, Steven King (mine was also with a "v", as opposed to "ph"), but it's nevertheless kinda funny hearing someone comment about that name (being that I'm so familar with it), from a "third party"-eye's view! heh. (did that make sense?? lol)
Well, it's funny and strange, but now you all know more about me than many of real-life friends. All ya need now is my drivers license number and social security number and I'm totally screwed
