You’d think that with a username like mine, I’d be the only one anywhere.

Well, you’d be wrong:

[http://www.paklinks.com/gs/member.php?u=15307](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/member.php?u=15307)  
[http://cecimoz.co.uk/blog/comments.php?id=A7\_0\_1\_0\_C](http://cecimoz.co.uk/blog/comments.php?id=A7_0_1_0_C)

Neither of these guys are me.

WTF do I have to do to be unique?

I have a twin on LiveJournal. It’s really kinda creepy.

But it’s okay, because I know I’m the One True MagicEyes. No one can take that away from me.

You could start with singing showtunes while riding a unicycle and juggling flaming swords.

If you see someone named Regallag the Ax(e), or just Regallag, anywhere else, chances are it’s me. I use this namer for everything.

I used to use “Some Other Guy” on message boards but couldn’t here because there’s a banned user with that name. So I’m slowly moving things all over to the Push You Down name.

Hijack-  
In the real world Ised to be able to google my name and find myself in the top 10 results… then some f-ing economist became well known who shares my name… That a-hole made it so I don’t appear until about 4 or 5 pages in.
