Sojourner1 is about a single guy who goes on interesting, but challenging and trying sojourns to many countries to all far sides of the world during the course of his lifetime. He is always one lonesome fellow and is presented with great challenges, sometimes almost beyond comprehension, to overcome, but is proud of how much more he has discovered about the world over his peers who stay home working in a cubicle or on a sales floor.

Since travel has been the center of my fascinations over the years, I got the idea for my moniker from my travels over the years while staying single with the gut feeling I will always be the one on a solo sojourn. I think, if I live long enough and somehow build a little wealth, I can buy a small house to retire to and write about it all to share with others a unique insightful perspective on humanity.

The Bond-Girls are my heros, the female versions of "Homo universalis". Brilliant, practical, witty, sexy, gorgeous, mysterious and dangerous... My role models.

Mate, I'm sure you're a nice person, but should you ever decide to write your autobiography, be sure to hire a ghost-writer.

Your posts, while never unpleasant or mean-spirited, are consistently littered with confusing and incomplete thoughts/sentences.

It really is quite hard on the eyes.

In any case, best of luck with your plans.

Cheers

I like to eat, eat, eat apples and ...

Shananas?

I know - far from witty, but it's all I could come up with at the time.

Back home, I am one of fifty gazillion Sarahs in my circle of friends. Hence, just another one of the Sarahs. It's sort of nice to be in Korea where I don't run into another Sarah every two seconds.

*FUN FACT: All of my friends named Sarah go by some sort of nickname because there are so many of us. I am the only one who has never had a nickname, so sometimes my friends would call me THE Sarah. *

DRAMA OVERKILL is a recurrent theme in mainstream Korean pop culture:

the waterworks that come pouring out in every other "heartfelt" movie, the waterworks that come pouring out in every tv drama, the "sa-lang-hae" that gets belted out in nearly every cheesy pop song, THE PHONY OVER INTENSE EMOTION!!!!

Kinda dumb, I know, but that's what popped in my head when I was signing up.

Hopelessly Human is the name of a song by Kansas. It's on their Point of Know Return album, of which the cover is my current avatar. That's just what popped into my head when coming up with a name to use for the forum.

Oh, and my current signature is the first few lines of the song.

I've had the handle since 1993, which is when I first started practicing Korean traditional archery. After you hit the target (145m away) a perfect five times in a row, you are given a martial nickname (muho 무호) at a special ceremony. The director of my club gave me the nickname chungho (청호), which means bluelake because I come from the Great Lake State of Michigan.

Arrow right now i'm listening to: melt banana - circle jack (chase the magic words, lego, lego)


Best answer so far-I was thinking of any KITH character and while my favourite character is Jerry Sizzler, this name just sounded better.

Right now, I'm listening Is Is by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs
