The meaning behind your ATS name...

Kelly is my middle name.
Prettybear is my grandmas Lakota Sioux tribal name.

My only regret is that some of my fellow men have hit on me, thinking that I must be female.

I was thinking with "Pretty Bear" you might be Native American, and was going to randomly ask one day.

Wait, you're not female? Fooled me, too.

a reply to: Liquesence

Gee thanks! My predecessor fought at Custers Last stand you know!
he's in the records there.

I sign my name -Kev or -Kevin all the time.. most posts.. to dispel
that "Kelly".

I'd give a lot to change that Kelly to a "Kevin" but there's no way.

When I first came to ATS, I was deeply concerned with keeping my
identity private.. but now my identity is fairly out there.. I'm
wishing (again) I hadn't done the Kelly thing.. my middle name
or not.

That's cool your ancestors fought at the last stand. I have always followed and respected NA culture ever since I was a kid. Myths, stories, culture, and even wanted to learn Cherokee and contacted the Cherokee many years ago. It just all seemed right, something I could Identify with. I read as much as I could, and took in a lot.

So, you picked "KellyPrettyBear" and didn't think you'd be identified as female?

Because, IMHO, I shall tell you lie...
Plus... The hanging tree is my collaborator.

Because I see dead people. Well, their spirits anyway.

Hello Truth Seeker. I have not heard someone say "Im just seeking the Truth" in awhile. And Boy!! Sometimes it Only raises more questions when you realize everything youve been taught or told is a Lie. So to get through the 20 Layers of B.S. And down a Few Lengthy Rabbit Holes Only to Realize your Farther away from theTruth than when you Started. I came to a Semi Conclusion. That Absolute Truths Cannot exist in a World of Polarity. Thoughts on That my Friend??

I was raised on the stories of King Arthur and Camelot, and when I was younger I had recurring dreams for several years about shadow people.

That's what originally brought me to ATS to research the phenomenon.

It means that I fight for clarity, simply stated. Both to try and clear up the confusion in the world, and resolve the lack of cohesion in my self.

There are many frequencies of autism and sociopathy. I'm high functioning but still diagnosed. My name means that I believe Autism is a form of Evolution. I think I'm a prototype for the next step in mankind's evolution. Real brains less influenced by social constructs that hinder, rather than help people being more honest and communicating with one another. They say I have no filter, but that's not true, I do have a filter and on special occasions or circumstance use it, but most the time I leave it in the car because I don't have time to tiptoe around the elephant in the room. Also due to my current and past feats I would consider myself weaponized mentally because I do have a magnificent mind and my body and face are sexy as well, just ask the girls I know.

I'm a Flint Knapper and a dude...?

Mine is stupid but it's better than the last handle I had.....fat bastard on the other sites

My name is a reference to the Butterfly Effect (AKA) time travel. It is also a lyric from The Doors- When The Music’s Over “before I sink into the big sleep. I want to hear, I want to here the Scream of the Butterfly”

My name alludes to the connections I have in the Universe of the Shaman Kings.
