**Henry Chinaski** - because of my mild obsession with Charles Bukowski.

**A Rude Mechanical** - A reference to Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

**Slide Away** - The title to my favorite Oasis song.

I don’t think enough people make my happiness a priority. 😃

\*\*Zombies! At the Window!

Zombies! In cunning disguises!

Zombies! En jaunty chapeaux!\*\*

My Steam player name is **Zombies! [Various themed responses here]**. I’d like to change my SN here to one of the many I’ve used, but I can’t be bothered 😃

I know the french is bad, but the 3rd one is my favourite. Just the mental image of Zombies in Jaunty Hats.

I think if I could have socks, I would like to post as characters from my stories. So:

\*\*LimberLinguist \*\*-- for my character Arkady, who speaks five languages and does acrobatics for a hobby, so he can get himself in all sorts of pretzel shapes.

**BrokenFromTheFactory** – for my character Ezra. He has some health problems…

**BleedingEdge** – for my character Linneah. She…likes to cut things. 🙂
