My Name is Caleb Niederer

Journal Entry: Tue Apr 15, 2008, 3:13 PM
Hi everyone. I said once I turned 18, I'd tell everyone my first and last name. The reason for the 18 rule is 1) I'm paranoid, and 2) once you turn 18, everything you sign is in your name. It's on-file. If you wanted to stalk me, you could do it whether I kept it a secret or not. So, since my cover's blown and I'm an adult now, I figured I'd mention it.

It's Niederer. Caleb Niederer. It's pronounced "Need-er." The extra "e-r" is in there for no reason whatsoever. Something about it being a Swiss pronunciation of a German name, or visa versa. That said, my username is pronounced "nee-deck." It's the first five letters of my last name plus my first initial. My old school ID name, minus the number they gave us pertaining to grade level. Not very creative, but I liked the way it sounded, it was easy, and it stuck.

Oh, and I have a lot more pictures from my trip to the Caribbean up on my flickr account. It's rare that I'm in so many photos, but at least now I have a current picture of me.

EDIT: Oh, I decided to take :iconczarewich:'s advice and record myself reading a few poems. It's kinda fun. I'll probably do a few more of these (as well as redo "Destroy This Poem"'s performance.) Hope people like this.

EDIT AGAIN: okay. It should be working now. Don't consider this any sort of website I plan on making. I'm really just using it because DA doesn't support HTML and player embedding.

Sad thing about the internet, but it's true. So my paranoia is making me less paranoid about my personal info. Yay paradoxes.

My DA account name is actually derivative from my last name too. My family name is Carewick, but before my forefathers moved from Czechoslovakia it was Czarewich. The name is of royalty but I don't think my family is in any way regal.

Same with my last name. There's apparently a town in Germany called Niedererberg, but I haven't ever visited it. It's funny, but almost everyone is descended from royalty in some form or other, no matter how poor they are now. Even people who are descended from farmers and serfs seem to have some long-lost relative that made a name for himself. I think that's kind of cool. Alas, no regal throne or fortune for my family today, either.

Maybe you'll be the first on the throne :P

Very few novelists wind up in power. Nor do they want it. Granted, it would be cool to be knighted. How cool would it be to be Sir Jacob Carewich or have me be Sir Caleb Niederer? Alas, your name sounds a bit more regal, but it's still fun to think about.

I've gotta admit, I'm going to laugh my ass off if I make any money writing and traveling aimlessly through America and Europe. After all the crap my family has given me, sitting on that throne would be pretty nice.
