People have been posting entries lately about why they're moving to dw, about the differences between dw and lj. For the most part, these are all things i've been feeling. Somehow this time it's different than the migrations to ij or inksome. I did migrate all my old entries here, not because i feel like this is the same as lj in any way, but because i don't want to lose the record of myself. Am i proud of those things? Hell no. Reading through my old journaling is a bit like a walk of shame--i shake my head at that person, wonder how anyone put up with her. But that was me, and as much as i'd like to forget that i was ever that whiny and ridiculous, it doesn't work that way. What i would like to do, though, is possibly go through and mass-lock things. Does anyone know if dw or an external piece of software (preferably mac compatible) can do that for me? A fresh start without losing anything, so to speak.

rui? Short answer: don't quite know. It's an rp character name, which sounds so lame, but it's a name i've become very comfortable being called in the past year. As a girl's name, the internets tell me it means either tears or affection, babelfish translates the kanji used in Hanazawa Rui's name as 'type'. Either way, something in it pleases me. It's a short name, easy to say, to type, and to remember. And, like everyone else, it's sort of shedding a skin. I've been alioth for going on ten years now, the first name i ever chose for myself online. In a lot of ways, it still stands, a gender-neutral star reference that calls back to a character i loved in a book i haven't read for years. It's not that it doesn't fit, precisely. But i'm not that same girl, not really.

I'm considering moving my LJ entries across at some point, and then just going through and taking out the ones that aren't really necessary. Like icon posts, silly memes, other random things that I don't really need in two places. It's kind of like rewriting a personal history, but at least I would feel more organised. I remember when I moved to LJ and brought all my old entries across from another site and it was interesting just going through them all again and seeing how I'd changed, and how I hadn't.

... Though I keep twitching without the "Hanazawa" part to it, l-lol.

It took me months and months to get used to just using Rui. I still can't really manage it in the IRC nick ;;

I need to go find a bunch more icons, though.

. . . my new goal is to pay more attention to what icons I use when ;; Something I rarely do on LJ
