BACKDATED to the 18th; TEXT, comm ID "Spider-Man"

Funny thing is, I spent most of last year counting down to my 5th imPort anniversary, and in the end I missed it by a good month and a half. Guess that's what comes of having a significant life event close to the holidays.

[ Spider-Man red versus Goblin green… totally counts as festive, right? Of course it does. ]

You gotta love the human -- sorry, the sapient -- capacity for adaptation. Forgetting the day of my own kidnapping.

But for the sake of you patient souls who suffered through my existential moping last year -- how many of you are still here, anyway? roll call! -- let's skip it this time and go with an icebreaker for the newbies.

Two truths and a lie. For those of you who come from universes without awkward getting-to-know-you party games, (a) congratulations, (b) it's just what it sounds like. I'll start:

1. I once picked a fight with a swarm of communist bees.
2. I used to have six arms but a giant lizard helped me remove them.
3. My car once tried to murder me.

Take your guesses.

Wow, that's a lot. That wasn't really my experience growing up. There was a lot of sci-fi stuff on TV and I guess some of that was superheroic, but there was nothing like that in real life. It took a while before people even started seeing The Flash and the others as something other than urban legends and photoshop. Even me.

Oh, and it's someone else I know from home, who also works with The Flash.


[Sadly, Eddie isn't even his biggest fanboy. There are a few others who are bigger fans. Better friends. It was just exciting working with a hero like that.]

I'll keep it in mind.

Being a superhero wreaks havoc on your personal life, I've seen that one first-hand. It did the same to mine and I'm not even meta-human. Well. Wasn't. I guess I am now.

Okay, I'm going to go with 3. You probably know of one, but don't know him/her personally.
