As for your changing your screen name being necessarily sneaky or behind the scenes fuckery, I say Oh, Balogna. It's really no one's business. And if you wake up one morning feeling like Cinderella Susan, then your sweet little five year old self is perfectly permitted to force your parents and everyone else to call you that for the next two years. It worked for me.

But is it all right if I shorten your new name to something like Flower?

May I call you Flower if I want to?

Love and crap,

i dearly love Cinderella Susan and want to call you that now! it's too damn perfect for words. two years was not long enough.

i apologize for the over indulgence of cayenne. we had hot wings for dinner before the Saints/Patriots game.

my own family calls me by a variety of names, none of them the one on my birth certificate. i've been "Pete" for the majority of my life with my extended family. my parents called me "OhNo" and "Hardway" for reasons that can be easily (and rightly i imagine) speculated on. when the movie "Finding Nemo" came out they began referring to me as "Dori" en masse and i've never been able to threaten them adequately enough to make them stop.

my name has been legally changed 5 times, beginning when i was 6. at no time was i a criminal or trying to avoid detection by anyone. i change. why should my name not change if i want it to? the name on my driver's license right now is almost exactly the same as the name i was given when i was little. my initials are unfortunate, bringing to mind a rather large, wholly idiotic and sadly well known racist hate group, but i suspect i carry them off by being as unlike one of their members as is humanly possible.

as for calling me Flower...why not? it's better than OhNo.
