I'm very excited about the move to dreamwidth. I haven't been following anything, as I am an slug outside of work at the moment, but I love the idea of having a system built around hour we think we'd like to use a social networking site. I'd go set-up an open id account, except I really don't want my account under 'wickedwords at livejournal.'

See, I'm thinking of changing my name. Well, not exactly my name, more like...my journal name, and maybe my email. I've been getting a lot of spam lately, and so I've been toying of moving over to gmail as I should have done years ago. And if I do that, well, I want to plan for the future, and maybe finally get my email, my journal name, and my pseud to somehow align.

Then again, maybe it's just time to go to bed.

You can poke around, comment & stuff like that with your openID, and then when you make your proper journal, it can be any name you like. In the not-too-distant future you will be able to associate your openID profile/accountlet with your main account.

I hope this made sense!

For a long time, I wanted the same email/journal name/pseud, but when I signed up for gmail my pseud was already taken and I ended up choosing something completely different.

Now, I'm starting to see that as not necessarily a bad thing. I've become a lot more paranoid over the past 12 months or so about fannish outing in RL -- not that I'm high profile enough to attract attention (thank goodness), but the fact remains that I really, really wouldn't want my work colleagues (or my boss, arghh) knowing about my fannish life. And for that reason I've started to see advantages to having a few slightly different names online -- if someone knew the email address that I use for all my fannish correspondence and googled it, it wouldn't take them to my LJ, for example.

It's confusing, isn't it?

I have two pseudonyms, plus my regular account. It would make my life easier if I would merge them all. I just don't quite know how I would do it. Especially since one name has been around for almost 20 years, but it is a way different, 'wicked' fandom association. ;-)
