That's the thing about AKAThisIsUs. You're never quite sure what you're going to hear from us.
Who am I? Jacqueline Havard, though some people may remember me as Child of the Dragon, or Kiddie for short. For those of you who actually remember my name (and kudos for that!! ^^) Dragon's Keep is no longer being updated. I'm keeping it there, but it's no longer being paid any attention to... *sob*. My stories (my originals) will be featured in the AKAThisIsUs site soon.
The Band has written and performed music for plays, other artists, and poets. I, believe it or not, am the one who named the band. I'm a writer by trade (or at least aspiring), and find inspiration wherever I can. AKAThisIsUs is writing music for my stories. ^____^ They're working on some of my characters, as well. I have a number of books on different subjects from Mythology, Alchemy, Astrology, and even my fair share of psychology books. Reading for the book I'm currently writing, and around the same time the bandleader was looking for a name, I found the term "Akathisia." A nasty side effect of antipsychotic drugs, the two symptoms that caught my attention were:
1. Inability to remain still
2. Compelled to move
AKAThisIsUs is a lot of things. AKAThisIsUs is actually a group of musicians who performed together in previous bands with a song showing a lot of promise. The band's proper site which is now up and running is www.akathisisus.com.
Follow me here. Akathisia, which is Greek for "not sitting" is all about movement!! This can mean movement on many different levels: the conventional physical movement of the body, or being moved in one's body and soul. As I explained that to the band leader, he wrote the term down, and then wrote "AKA This Is Us" Thus was the band named, and I was to be overseer of this realm as well as Dragon's Keep. It's my job to spread the word, but I can't do it alone. I'm counting on you guys to help me out here, so be a friend. Tell a friend. Let's get everyone moving!
