Some Disassembly Required, part 5

Brick by brick I am dismantling the whole shebang. The era of Bethany and the NHG's is drawing to a close, and I am the grim reaper come to end it all for keeps. The time has come. I'm going to miss those girls, but I need to move on. And then instead of the five of them (and various supporting cast members), it'll just be me, Sparky, here all alone writing this other blog. It might be lonely going at first, but ultimately it'll be worth it.

The first thing I did was take Beth off of my PO Box. Things had grown to the point where she was getting mail. In my efforts to keep that persona up and running I had her name added to my PO Box, which is ridiculously easy to do. I just told them that my girlfriend, Beth, needed to use my box to have some things delivered, and bickety bam ... she was riding along. But last week I removed her from the box, so now any stray anything that is sent here way should bounce back.

Next is the matter of the Batcave. If I'm abandoning the identity I really shouldn't leave all of those posts hanging around out there in the ether. This blog is one thing -- only a handful of people even read it. That blog is quite another. I never specified which company I worked at for all those years, but there are too many names and details in those posts for me to just let them all stay. So I'm dismantling the Batcave post by post by post. I'm going to leave the shell, and gut the rest. There are things of mine I want to keep from the innards, so I'll be sorting through the wreckage and saving what I need in Wordpad. But eventually, with no warning, that blog will just be an empty lot.

I haven't decided about Myspace yet. There exists five profiles, one each for the core group, and let me tell you those were a bitch to set up and maintain. They may disappear. I may let them remain. Unlike the Batcave, those profiles are really pretty harmless and can't really bounce back on me. I don't have to decide that right now anyway. The Yahoo mail accounts will wither and die from disuse on their own, so I can let time take care of those. The old forum is already deleted. I think that only leaves the four AIM accounts. I need to rig one up for the really real me anyway, and I might do that tomorrow.

In the meantime I'm picking my brain for any other loose ends I might have out there. If I come up with any they'll all be liquidated in short order.

The Wolf (see Pulp Fiction) is on the job.
