i feel like that alllll the time
once every few months
and i always go with it, and get a new username, email, etc.
i’ve done it a few times, this is my third or fourth livejournal username, and yesterday i was actually trying to think of a new one, but i have to get one of those dumb token things or whatever to change to the one that i want.
i dont know why i get like this, but i always like a little re-invention, a little change. its good for a person.

Cute photos! :)

Interesting question!

I don’t think I have. Only in the past few months have I started using a second ID of sorts. But my original (LJ username) has been with me for years. The one before that was trashed because it was part of a phase of mine, a protagonist from a book I loved. So I switched it to be more timeless, something that would encompass me as a whole but not specify anything. I find using the new one exciting sometimes because it’s fresh and new, but I never intend to stray far from the other.

I’m referring to journal ID’s really. Email doesn’t make much difference to me. And when it comes to my journal ID’s, I am who I am. The good, the bad, it makes up what I am whether I like it or not. And to have to realize that and remember from time to time I think is a good reminder. Say, to avoid ever being that person again, for example. Though I can see why someone would want to change if they wrote about a really dark place in their lives and that took up the majority of their associations.

I’d like to consider myself a chronic malcontent. Since I acquired a PC with internet access in 7th grade I’ve gone through so many gaming, community, and role playing handles. I probably don’t remember the vast majority of them. Sometimes I feel like I need to reinvent myself, sometimes I need to come up with something new because I’ve been beaten to a name, but sometimes I find myself just getting plain bored with whatever “persona” I’ve cooked up. I will admit I’ve got a pocketful of trusty handles that have stuck. You just have to go with what works, I reckon.

I like my names, I like fire, it’s where two of my names came from and the third, I just wrecked a lot of people on the soccer field : ) There are somedays I wish I could go back and create new ones but for now, I like mine

the first picture is adorable!
sometimes i do get sick of the perception of my digital persona & i did change it once…it was necessary. i was coming out of a depression deeper than anything i’ve ever known & needed to start anew..it was hard b.c i had to cut off contact with some dear friends, but in the end it was for the best…online personas can sometimes be restricting which is so strange b.c it’s the internet but yeah i think you know what i mean

I’ve done that before! I dropped my old blog and abruptly created a new one. New look. Freedom from the old “focus.” And for the past three months, I’ve pretty much ignored my MySpace life (the one “social networking” site I’ve used).

I think I’m going to drop MySpace, and I’m even considering dropping my blog and going back to letter-writing, both by post and email. I miss writing letters and find I don’t write many when I blog because I feel like I’ve said it all.

Also, I have an ever-widening business to run (which isn’t to say much money to make, just much more to do in order to make any!).

Either way, I think it’s nearing one of those transition moments for me. Who knows? Maybe I’ll just start a new blog. I’ve a number of other Web domains to open….

If you need a change, let yourself have it. No fetters.

It’s a very interesting question. I had so many id’s at one time, a motley collection of pseudonyms and personae. In the end it felt too confusing, and I had to wonder why I was doing it at all. Why not just be me, just be one? So now that’s what I’ve done, determined to be, simply, myself. It’s easier, neater, more direct. I only show what I’m comfortable with, and in a way it forces me to examine who I am. And I like that.
