OmniTense was in reference to an old poem I wrote, or rather to a harsh review of that poem. (poem called "Ode to the Dreaming Solipsist") In which I shifted tense in every line. A critic of mine noted that it was written in "Omni-Tense"

Sinister is a reference to a long tail of my history. Involving one of my spelling words from homeschooling as a child that I became infatuated with at the age of six. I had trouble spelling it, the story goes, so my father worked and worked and eventually got me to spell it out with green/bluish finger-paint on my door.

It became a tradition to have the word on my door. Which I eventually carved it in the wood.

S like a Snake
I like Ice
N like Nice
I like Ice
S like Snake
T like Tail
E like Eel
R like Rain

Was how I worked it out.

When I would get angry, my dad would actually address me as "Sinister," calling it my "Animus". When I first joined a forum I stuck a picture of Sephiroth and combined it with the name Sinister.


I guess when you think about it, I'm both Sinister and OmniTense.
