Hugin Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 So as to not interupt other worthy threads I shall say this here. I have returned. I am no longer James Meehan. I am no longer Prodigy. I have grown and changed. What once was is no longer as is proper.I hope to get to know the many of you that have arrived in my absence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wylde Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 I didn't know you before, so now is a good time to say hi!So, What does "Hugin" mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noir Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Hugin (Thought) and Munin (Memory) are the ravens of Odin (the Norse God). They would fly around each day watching everything and then land on Odin's shoulder and whisper into his ear all they had seen each evening.~Noir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I apologize for not managing to meet with you before my absence from interaction. I am available now and you can find me at New Ground most days. I'm happy to say that Devries did an excellent job in keeping my interests protected this past year. Well worth the money I must say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kestrel404 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Welcome back. I hope your dreams were pleasent ones.I have one question. Why did you choose Hugin over Munin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugin Posted October 17, 2005 Author Share Posted October 17, 2005 Why Hugin and not Munin?I do more than remember. Hunin og Munin seemed a tad clunky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugin Posted October 18, 2005 Author Share Posted October 18, 2005 I needed some time to think, to grow. I took care of some issues. As to where, well, that I cannot divulge, I'm sorry. But the where really means little except that someone special decided that I was worth a little effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z-Clark Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Hugin, I would like the opportunity to meet with you at some point – my mother and father speak highly of the help you gave them several years ago. As I have begun to explore the world, I would like the chance to learn from your experiences. When would be a suitable time to meet with you?

Maria 'Serendipity' Fianelli Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Hey, I'm Munin!Sorry, I just got a mind like a steel trap. I ain't forgotten nothin' since eruption and the paraphysicians tell me I never will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned previously, I'm available most often at NewGround in Tokyo. Is this amicable? If not I can arrange to meet you somewhere else. I'd prefer no place within the United States currently.

I ain't forgotten nothin' since eruption and the paraphysicians tell me I never will. A memory that freezes every millisecond like a perfect hologram is a great gift and a heavy curse. I have such a one as well. Every moment of every day I have perfect recollection of every failure and every loss I've experienced since soon after my eruption. The emotional power resides unfaded in each tragedy. Fortunately I've experienced nearly as many successes and joys. In the end there is balance.

Wylde Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Nosy question; is your eidetic memory retro-active? Meaning, can you clearly recall your own birth and stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wylde Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Yeah but the memory of pain is a lot different then the sensation of pain. It would be much worse if he had to continually live through every physical sensation he's ever had... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome back. Thankfully, no. If I actively dwell on a particular memory I can get physical sensations. Emotional impact is much more...powerful in my case.

I'll PM you later about heading out that way. New Ground's in Japan, right? If so, I'll need a ride there. I don't have any of the fun transportation powers.
