Name that Dracoluvah

[dracoluvah]

 Identity crisis!

I don't think that  really fits who I am anymore.
I had chosen that name back pre-slash days, when I was a DM/HG shipper.
Last night I finally felt that I had come up with a perfect name, that is until I told my husband.
He yelled at me because my last name is part of it.
So now, I'm tired, and cranky, and sad, and cranky, and have

I went for the name of a goddess that most closely matched me as a person. Of course, it was taken, but I added numbers and voila! Might be worth a try.

PHOTOGRAPHY/SCRAPBOOKING:
ATHENA (a-THEE-nuh; Roman name Minerva) was the goddess of crafts and the domestic arts and also those of war.

READING/WRITING/ART:

Saraswati is the goddess of art and literature, the mother of wisdom and knowledge.

WRITING:
In Egypt the art of writing was the gift of the Goddess Isis, Maat, Menos, or Seshat - no point confusing people with a similar name; in Rome, that of the Goddess Carmenta or the Fata Scribunda ... (page wouldn't open for the rest).

Thanks for the goddess info.

Somehow I feel far from goddess status on anything I do.

[sesheta_66]

Okay ... to qualify, I figured it wasn't so much to say, "Look at me! I am goddess, hear me roar!" It was more to empower my inner writer.

There. That makes me sound much less arrogant and full of myself. Hee!

Oh my goodness! No! I didn't mean it as a backhanded compliment to you. I just don't even feel worthy to even attempt the writing craft.

YOU ... YOU are amazing!

And it makes sense to pick a name with meaning behind it. I was just having a low self esteem moment!

*snickers* No worries, hon. I didn't take it that way at all. In fact, I was bemused by it, but thought I'd better explain that I hadn't really thought of that when I chose a goddess name. At the time, I had thought of a book called The Goddess Within which suggests that all women have a goddess inside them. So from there, I chose the one that would best describe me.

Hee! Don't fret at all.

How is that book?
I've heard of it before ;-)

(Oh, and I'm actually totally into goddesses. I actually got to teach a bit of it this year)

[sesheta_66]

Not sure. I haven't read the book, but have heard of it and the notion that we all have that power within ourselves as women. That's what my mind went to as I was trying to figure out a user name. Otherwise, I'd still be trying to figure one out. ;)

You are too cute!
