my own personal book of revelations
Dec. 19th, 2002 09:26 pmGawd, I never thought of it before! Isn't it important to claim my own name?
I've started actually using Elisann in a couple of places (Lisanne was just too close to the real thing), shortening it to 'Lis when it would seem too formal to use the whole name. It's kind of like Me 2.0 - not the name I never liked when growing up, but at the same time enough like it that I feel I'm purposely naming myself that, rather than having it thrust upon me like so much greatness (spot the Twelfth Night ref!). This is actually having an interesting effect.

Dec. 19th, 2002 10:34 pmso what's wrong with changing a name to reflect one's current state? is there something in the great book of all things bad against that? sure, i guess, confusing for people on mailing lists.. but if I named myself "Elisann Tulgey" at the moment, after the Tulgey Wood in "Jabberwocky" (which is rather how I feel at the moment - dark, confused, but with wonder and fantastical things hiding in the shadows), would it be somehow wrong not to keep that when it passed? to keep changing my name or part of my name as circumstances dictated?

How Annoying Are You In Your Online Diary?
brought to you by Quizilla
You are somewhat annoying. Don't worry about it; it's probably just a phase. Are you seventeen yet?
Um, I'm 24 - especially considering I answered Are you over the age of seventeen? with Yes, since I am.
