A Rose By Any Other Name Would Still Be Me

[jackofallgeeks]

So I've been thinking for a long while that Rolias Noom needs to retire. He started out as an alias for gaming with my brothers, then grew into a semi-developed character concept while I role-played in AOL's Red Dragon Inn, durring it's twilight years. From there he became a more-developed character for a story I wanted to tell, and eventually he became me. I've been Roliasnoom for years now, but...

-shrugs- It's almost like I've grown out of it. I kind of want to, I don't know, have a change or something. Not that I have anything against RoliasNoom, it just feels... 'childish' isn't the right word. But he feels like he's from another chapter in my life which is coming to a close, if not already a few pages back.

Anyways, I have my own preferences in the following list, but I want your opinions. Assuming I do change my digital persona, I may go about getting this Journal renamed -- they can do that I hear, though there may be a charge... anyways...

Hee hee, smart girl, though there may be someone who thinks I really should be Roliasnoom. I'm not sure I'd pay them much mind, unless there was overwhelming support for the idea.

Andrew and Jack are actually my top two choices -- I just registered them today. I think I want to keep Joe as my 'workname,' and much as I like the Jabberwocky, I'm not sure it's quite the tone I'm looking for...

As for Andrew being, well, my name... -shrugs- I can kind of see the sense in concealing my identity in that small way, but I'm not sure it'd make much difference, being who I am. Not to say Andrew has a lead over Jack -- after all, I am skilled in many but master of none.

I wasn't thinking of concealing your identity, really. Especially since it's pretty obvious on a quick look through your journal that you are Andrew David Portner. I was just thinking of different from every-day, maybe. Oh, who knows what I was thinking?
