Nathamlin

I created an alternate personality on Flickr called Nathaniel Hamlin. Hamlin in honor of Amie who turned me on to Veganism. Nat because of Matt. Then after Nathaniel Hawthorne, with sister Charlotte and brother E.A. (Edgar Alan). EA committed suicide. May have sexually abused Nat. But not that much older and consensual as far as that goes.

Nat's mother is Mundy Gato's soulmate. Mundy is the character I created for my play about the Jonestown massacre. Mundy is sometimes in college and sometimes an adult in Key West. Lots of promise, now teaches high school. Sometimes he's written really cool poetry...why not? Yes, he's a famous poet but not a wealthy one. Divorces, drugs, no real money in writing poetry no matter how well-esteemed. Not unless branch out and do all sorts of marketing shit and workshops and performance art... he's as crushed by life as he was crushed by death as a young man who ran away the night of the Kool-Aid.

He wrote the note.

So he feels responsible for all the deaths in Jonestown, including his mother (always) and best friend, lover (sometimes), infant (sometimes)... sister...maybe.

Belinda is like Schrodinger's cat. Gato is her name too.
