Back in 2003 when I joined LiveJournal, I wanted "Kaa" as my username. But some Russian dude already had it. He wasn't using it, but he was parked on the account, and that was that. I picked "kaasirpent" for some reason I don't even know. Why the 'i' instead of an 'e'? <shrug> I think it was because "Kaa, Sir Pent" sounded all uppity an' stuff, and it made me laugh for about a millisecond.

I have diligently watched the 'kaa' account over the intervening time, even going so far as to set up events with LJ to let me know if he basically did anything with the account. Anything at all. I even had a friend who speaks Russian compose me an email to send to the guy, but his response got lost and I have no idea what it was he said. Probably the Russian equivalent of "fuck off."

So, imagine my surprise today when I saw that my notifications I had set up for the user "kaa" now pointed to user [livejournal.com profile] ex_kaa182!

What the—?

I tried [livejournal.com profile] kaa only to find that it has been transferred to someone else! I never got a notice or anything. That ticks me off unbelievably. I have waited—patiently, for the most part—for more than seven years, and then someone comes along who convinces the guy to give up 'kaa' and let him have it?

Gaaah! GAAAAH! GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! <sound of head exploding>

That does it. There's gonna be a name-change. Just you wait and see.

Comeslither? Philosophidian? My other blogs are all Philosophidian. Hmmm.

I feel your pain. Some navel-gazing hippie has been squatting on 'my' LJ since the dawn of time.

I was originally going to go by "kiteflier". Oh well.
