7/6/09 05:05 pm - Time for a change
You know, I’m contemplating a name change (for my LJ name) and a total re-vamping of this journal. Something FFXII, because you know if you have an obsession why not take it to the absolute max?
It has after all, been five fucking years since I got an LJ (good god has it been that fucking long?) and while Pet Shop Of Horrors is and always shall be one of my personal top three anime/manga things ever, it has been five years where my journal layout has consisted solely of that. I desire some change. Appearance wise. PSOH is still my totally number one dominating thing I write fan fiction for. Some things will never change.
As for my penname I’ve had that for an extraordinarily longer time then my LJ. Probably about nine or ten years. It was the first name I started using when I very first got into fandom and writing and subsequently stuck with it. In case one can’t tell, the name derived from Hinoto from X/1999 which I was so very into at the time. Which is fucking hilarious when I think about it as it completely reflects the time period in when I first discovered manga and anime and was a total (heh, embarrassing and clichéd) newbie.
I’m still going to keep the name for my writing on FF.net since I don’t wish to totally change it and it will be to confusing for those keeping track of the Lady Hinoto moniker for story purposes. But I figure for my LJ I can be someone… different … as it were, but still the same. When I first got my LJ it never occurred to me I could have a different penname for it and I must admit I wasn’t the most original thinker so I probably wouldn’t have
So what the fuck, I’m going for it now. Again I desire some change and I feel more mature and I want my LJ to reflect that. It sounds fucking stupid and silly but I feel like I’m stuck in a comfortable de-fault place and past and it looks like I’m still that same person I was when I’m not. I want to move forward.
So I’m going to be changing my LJ name and hopefully the look and layout and hopefully come up with a tagging system. Probably won’t delete my past entries because, despite my desire to start anew, I can’t bring myself to totally chuck such history but I’ll probably lock them for friends only.
I still got some shit to square away first before I go and start screwing with everything. But if you suddenly see Lady Hinoto gone and in place an Esper name don’t be alarmed, that’ll be me. ^.~
