i rejoined a community i had been banned in as an alt. the first conversation i had was about a hated a politician named "sanna marin". i changed my name to "sanna" for a bit to make impressions and stuff, and some members and i thought it was pretty funny. the next day-- after i changed it back-- people were still calling me sanna. and so as more people joined, no matter what i changed my user to, i was always referred to as sanna. sometimes i change it to sanner just to add my own twist. sanna is my name pretty much everywhere and (partly because i spend so much time online) i correlate my self and my identity with my username. when i think of myself, i don't think of my birth name, i think of sanna-- so sometimes i think about legally making it that.
