Hello, my name is gelofogo

Hello.

My chosen name is gelofogo, which can be translated as "Coldfire." It seems to fit my temperament. It feels of a kind with "Cassius Hueffer" from the Spoon River Anthology:

"Life was not gentle to him,
And the elements so mixed in him
That he made warfare on life,
In the which he was slain."

I am not slain, but I find myself arising over and over again from my own ashes, like a befuddled phoenix wondering why its tail smokes. As I remarked on the Books forum, one novel I think highly of is Boyett's Mortality Bridge, which opens with a rock star waking up on the shores of Lethe, with no memory of how he got there or what he was trying to do, until a bored demon tires of the show and goads him.

Something familiar there, for me.

I'm on City-Data for its forums, and to find other people who share my interests, which I'll be exploring in upcoming blog posts. I'm looking for people to like. I think the best way to find you is to show you what you might like about me. Attached is a book cover I designed for an essay I wrote: Empathology: How Much Like Me Do You Feel?

Those of you who like book arts might also appreciate this CDF post on origami.
