Hmm. Well, a lot of fannish people seem to consistently confuse me with Dana (not that I mind, heh) or think that we're the same person.

Well, that kinda works out well for me, since I get to be temporarily cooler than I am.

Sometimes I amuse myself by thinking about how screwed-up a person a Dashriftna would have to be in order to pull it off.

But yeah, *that's* the twisted part. (Considers changing pseud to Dashriftna.)

Someone once accused me of being Shrift because my site is hosted on Shriftweb. I can only *dream* of being so cool. But I don't slounge nearly as well as Shrift.

And I don't hide my internet identity... I just... it just sort of happened. I never expected to have so much overlap between the other part of my online life and the Buffistas. Anyone who wants to know who I am can look at my profile and there is the pseud for all to see.

As for the "new" name Consuela, well, that's in response to all the people who were apparently calling me "Sue-Ella" in their heads for the last 2 years. Since Suela is derived from Consuela, and is a legitimate college-age nickname, I'm not going to feel bad about it.

Just, um, have mercy on the other Connies around here, and call me Consuela or Suela or Hey! You with the Dog! or cofax ... *grins*

Huh. I always said it as rhyming with Layla in my head and I figured I'd end up being corrected because it was really something altered or Welsh and obvious to all those truly educated.

Yeah? Ha! Who?

It amuses me greatly to see things like this. Because I already do an insane amount of fannish crap, and I don't understand how people could think I'd have the time to construct alternate identities.

Someone on ATF, when I posted there last spring to scold them for badmouthing Maayan for being French and having opinions.

I've since given up: I don't like that place and I no longer care what they think. And the demand that the Save Farscape Team must give up its anonymity in order to have any credibility on the campaign makes me want to bite nails and spit them at people. Not everyone has the ability to post publicly on fannish topics under their full legal name, folks. Feh.

Who in the hell would know who I am on ATF? I'm just saying. I've never been an active participant in X-Files fandom, except for one still unfinished Spike/Krycek story.

Unless, of course, I have a sock puppet that secretly writes X-Files fic and causes mucho trouble.

I love the idea of scolding someone for being French. "You have a language that I get very self-conscious when I try to pronounce!" (And thank you for that, amych.) "You eat snails! You have silly politics!"

I never sought to make you self-conscious. Anyway, you once told me I looked funny speaking French, so I think we're even.

You told me I spoke French like a Spanish cow! Now I can't have lunch at Balthazar's takeout place without going "uh... you know, the ham sammich" instead of "jambon beurre." I'm going to record you saying it over the phone and take it in with me next time.

Everyone looks funny speaking French. Because it's French! That's funny.

Oh, dear. I don't remember that at all -- was I stoned or anything like that? Please say there's some excuse.

I'm hideously ashamed now.
