new
the worst part about starting someplace new isn't the 'what should i write about' because if i can type a lot about nothing in one journal, i can do it here, too. i have an endless supply of nothing. and it's not the 'when will i find the time' part, because, since i already don't have time to write as much as i'd like to, it's not like one more outlet is going to make or break all the undone projects and chores piling up around me. no, the worst part is 'what should i call myself'. do i go with an old familiar username from elsewhere? invent something new that sums up, in one clever word, everything the greater anonymous internet world would ever want to know about me all at once? maybe something new but vague and cryptic, hinting at some sort of mysterious inside joke that the common reader wouldn't understand? or do i stare at the sign up window for five minutes and get all stressed and frantic and finally default with my own dull first name?

but isn't it exciting to be able to use just your first name as a blog name? i mean, isn't it? i would think it would be exciting. me, i have never had to come up with any cute little usernames, mostly because i can almost always use my real name as my username. of course, on some of my emails, i have to add something to my name to make it work.
but it also takes some of the pressure off for me to not have to come up with any kind of special usernames for myself. i panic at the thought.
