Personae

A sort of life

I go by the name Michael, though mostly people use 'Mike' or 'De Soto.' It really depends on the general mood of the situation I suppose. There was a girlfriend one time that thought 'Michael' sounded more educated, more canny, more intimate, more wise -- basically more than I've ever been in my entire life. It sounded funny to me then, but she took her clothes off for me, and so I ask: What was I going to do? The 'Michael' sound has grown on me in the intervening years. It looks good in print. So, that's what I go by.
