. . . that MY name is also, Riotous RicHie. At AVP, the Alternatives to Violence Project, WE choose adjectives to describe ourselves. The adjective must be positive and it ought to start with the same first letter as your name. Ought is italicized up there because folks who do AVP are notoriously poor for getting them to do the "oughts."
The woulda, shoulda, coulda, gotta, have to, need to set are curiously absent from longterm AVP participants.
At first I was Righteous Richie, then Random Richie, then Radical Richie and finally, Riotous RicHie. Each of them adjectives got meaning for me. Riotous is the adjective that is pertinent to p'omidyar because many of the questions asked about me here can be answered by reference to my adjective name and membership in AVP.
I am a HARD case. Just as I capitalize the last part of my first name, RicHARD, I live half in caps and half in lower-case. I have been an outsider all my life. From my first interaction at AVP I was accepted; I have never been treated as an outsider at AVP.
Recently, due to Mark Grimes, I have committed to being a full-time member at p'omidyar: A p'omidizen? I hear them groans. God, IF YOU only knew what YOU were going to learn from ME. When YOU think of Riotous, please think of a riot of flowers.

Finally some folks brave enough to enter here where other fools fear to tread!
Wanna pick adjective names and put them on MY adjective name page? I would love to have you pick adjective names. I would love for ALL my p'omidyar friends to pick adjective names.

I'm looking to have a federal holiday. No make that an international holiday.
International Peace Day. On MY birthday.
What you get is an adjective in front of your name that gives people like me two chances to call you by name. Lots of my prison friends call me, "Riotous!" I know they just momentarily forgot the RicHie part.
I got the same problem myself. R

My good friend who doesn't come here is Jumpin Jill. She is a great facilitator. always on-point, on-time and completely unflappable. I know because flap-ability is one of my tests.
I kinda liked Jammin Jean. Sort of a Queen of the Roller-Derby kind of thing going on!

When I was a kid I wanted to grow up and be in the roller derby. I was a fast skater.

Yeah, some places roller derby is a BIG sport and flat-track roller derby is the tackle-no-pads version.
