Recent Name Droppage

You know how you never notice something and then suddenly it's everywhere? Let's take a gamertag I play with a lot: Haste. I play Halo and Halo 2 with this name. In the main story line of Halo 2 (or as I like to call it: the only story line), a character mentions that it is because of HASTE that the first Halo was destroyed. And I thought no one had noticed.

Haste was already taken on xbox live so I used PostHaste as my gamertag online (although I have grown to like it more and use it everywhere, even here). As I was reading the new Runaways (which rocked me until I lay barefoot next to all the socks I own), Brian K. Vaughn used the word posthaste in one of his actiony dialogue scenes. IN BOLD. Could it be he has heard of me?

Fun Fact: Haste and his alter-ego PostHaste live in a universe I created mostly in my head but also on paper. A bit. I adopt their names from time to time because they are my most beloved creation. One day the world will know their story. When the world makes ready for it.
