The problem with my life is that things happen, and I think, "this could be entertaining!" but then I'm already going on. Like a katamari, I gain momentum and can't stop!
--or maybe I hit a dip and go to sleep for a while, either is entirely possible. :Db
So, there's this question meme that's been going around LJ for a while -- it's one of those things that seems to come and go in waves, the "ask me anything you want!" open invitation. Part of me thinks it'd be cool to do, but at the same time, I also feel like if I do or say anything confusing, it's just because, uh, well. I'm dumb, and there are times where I don't realize that I've already changed the subject because the conversation finished in my head, but not in reality. (No, really, I've been mocked for this before, because at the end of a sentence, I will say something that totally doesn't go with what came before -- it's because in my head, I edited the sentence I meant to say, but didn't correct myself aloud, hence it's like A-A-A-A-A------Z! when I talk. Not always, but a lot of times; I do it less online, because I can at least look back and see what I've "said" and edit before it goes anywhere.
Usually. Uh.
What I've actually got is a question (though I suppose if people want to ask me something, they can, though I'm not sure how well I can answer beyond an armflail and a "but it made sense at the time!") -- I've been online a long time, see. Twelve years, actually, oh god that's half my life. ... no seriously, in about a month, HALF MY LIFE where I was involved with some version of online fandom. God, that's weird. That's very weird.
During that time, I've preeeeetty much kept the same online psuedonym -- at least since I started in anime fandom (which was pretty early on), I've been going by the same "WhiteCat" nickname. Still, along the way, it's not necessarily like I've been keeping my real name a huge secret; there are a number of people who call me by that, rather than any online nick. Which is cool, but my memory is like a sieve, and I can't always remember who I told and who just found out through, I dunno, Jedi mind tricks or something.
And because I'm a big fan of the name thing -- names have meaning, whether they're something you pick yourself, or someone gives you -- so. I'm curious!
How many of you guys "know" me by my real name? I mean, for those of you I'm friendly with (because I certainly don't expect most of you reading really think of me-the-person, which is totally fine XD) -- and you IRL folks don't count :P -- how am I "named" to you?
This is me totally indulging myself, because I'm a dork and I like names, and every now and then, I like to know what people think of me-as-me, rather than me-the-writing. I WOULD APOLOGIZE BUT I'M STILL CURIOUS. :|
P.S. While I'm asking for things, I, uh. I don't suppose anyone knows if there's stupid Thomas-and-Harry-are-morons wacky hijinks fic for the Harry Dresden series, is there? Noooot interested in pairing stuff for certain reasons, but. You know. Wacky hijinks, guys. :( Gods and fishes know I love 'em.
