Name Change
Reading my journals, my roommate and heartsister was stricken by a terminal case of the giggles. After I resurrected her, she requested that she be known by her most common online name, Votania.
I rather liked the symbology of having labels representative of the positions in my life that people held-- Sis, Nephew, Neighbor, Dude, Chick, Biosis, Best Friend -- but perhaps I was the only one who appreciated that form of artistry. With those bland labels, I felt I was doing a little more to create something of some small poetic merit.
With the nameless labels, my journal (in my eyes at least) is more applicable to a wider range of people than just my own small circle of friends. Surely I am not the only person to have a friend that I live with who is as close as a sister? I would, though, be surprised if anyone else were to have a friend-as-close-as-sister named Votania.
Journal writing is an art form to me. I don't know who else out there shares my precise viewpoint on the topic, but I do know what I think.
In any case, "Sis" is now "Votania", though I will probably still use both names.
