A stupid, small thing.
My given name is Juliana, but I spent much of my early life going by Julie and then Juli. I finally figured out that Juliana suited me much better, so I started going by that over 10 years ago. That is how most of the people here know me.
However, people have taken to calling me Juli. Or worse, Julie. I didn't mind the shortening when it was just Zach, but it has spread far beyond my very inner circle, and it's starting to really bug me. I am not Juli. I left her behind manymany years ago. The people who refer to me as Juli are family. I absolutely refuse to be a Julie. That name has way too much baggage and is very not me. I can be j or juliana to the world at large, but I never want to be generally known as Juli or Julie again.
Again, it's small, and it's silly, but it bugs, so I had to vent.
G'night.
