Hi, I'm natty. I am a certified crazy person. This forum is me being (more) honest about myself, my motivations, and my experiences.

Honesty

I am honest to a fault. It's a coping mechanism. Always being honest makes it easier for me to think. Simple.

My entire user account is built on honesty. There are one or two white lies that I told because I wasn't ready to be honest about some stuff...I will address those lies in this forum and explain my reason for lying at the time.

I'm honest af, but I am known to be misleading & evasive. Like the Sidhe [Dresden Files].

Manipulation

I am fuckin MANIPULATIVE bruh. I can't help it, it's how I was built. I have a design for this forum. This entire user account has a design. If you ask me what it is, I'll be evasive and say something like "saving the world". If you wanna wade through the bullshit that is my post/comment history, it's pretty obvious what I'm doing here.

I am crafting a narrative. I have crafted an online identity. The identity I've built is my authentic Self, filtered through the persona I use with my friends...it's something I've been working on for about 15 years and is still in flux.

Functioning of this forum

None of my posts are static. I'm making shit up as I go along (stream of consciousness) and I will be editing posts to fit the narrative I'm crafting. I've got a mountain of notes I wanna include here and I don't wanna break into those until I've shat out what's currently rattling around in my head.

I don't rush. I am a father, husband, gamer, 9-5 employee, sci-fi/fantasy reader, soundcloud rapper, and certified crazy person (it takes a lot of work to keep my head on straight). There will definitely be periods of inactivity here.
