I'm So Confused! But, I'm better now.

Live Journal is great sometimes, but at other times I feel like it has passed me by. I know that we all have legal names we use to gain employment, receive and use money and credit cards and other grown-up stuff.
Many of us have names we use in sacred space, a name we aspire to really deserve (sometimes, I will concede).
Now, on Live Journal we have even more names! WTF! I barely know everyone's legal name and/or sacred name. How the Hell am I, or anyone for that matter, supposed to keep in memory all of that stuff?
Memory! Ah Ha! I should put this stuff in my Palm Pilot! That way, if I see it often enough, perhaps I can memorized it. I just have to keep my Palm Pilot away from the Republicans. Aggghhhh.
I knew that if I implanted this message on LJ the answer would arrive. Thank you.

Date: 2004-07-27 11:30 am (UTC)Well, for years, I've used dryad as my sort of semi-public "pagan-ish" name, but unfortunately, it had already been grabbed by another LJ user (the bastard!), si I had to come up with something else. It's terribly frustrating when most of your choices, even the relatively speaking obscure ones, are gone.
There remains only liner notes. And heavily annotated coven lists. But then, I have Luddite tendencies anyway. :-)
