Khephra is a ??? (and another invitation for others to introducce themselves
This makes me laugh, so no one think I'm upset by when this happens, so let me do this little intro.
I'm a 33 year old perpetual college student writer (can't spell though) who is (drum roll please) male. Yep, I'm a guy.

The only reason why I mention it is that I've had this weird thing going on most of my life that I don't seem to understand. And that is that I'm almost always mistaken as being a woman on the phone and through drive-up window speakers.

Some people have told me that Khephra, because it ends in an "a" sounds like a woman's name, well, it isn't.

For those who don't know, Khephra is the Eygptian Scarab God who pushed the sun through the Underworld at night. I picked it years ago and it has just stuck. The reasons behind me using it is 1. I'm a neo-pagan and into all that occult stuff you hear about on the 700 club, but i'm a nice one 2. I really like Eygptology 3. It symbolically means "The Sun at Midnight" which I perceive as being "hope in the dark" 4. And I'm a night owl

Once again, I'm never mad, I just prefer people to know the truth about me, should I meet any of you at a protest in the future.

Oh yeah, imagine a dashingly handsome overweight, short bald shaven man with devilish brown eyes and you have a good image of what I look like. Well, I'm only fudging a bit LOL
