Ponderous Thoughts

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.

Date: 2009-04-04 07:49 am (UTC)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.
