Pseudonymous

Since many of us seem to be meta-journaling here, writing entries discussing interests or people on friends' lists, I ask you this:

Tell me about your username. And/or, if it differs, the name you have put into the "title" line.

In some cases, it's pretty obvious; a few of you have simply chosen to go with your actual name or some version of it. But for others of you I'm simply baffled.

And for those of you who are using your real names -- feel free to talk about that, too. What has prompted your bold stand for identity in a world of pseudonyms?

Or something.

Meanwhile, I will write about "fest noz."

( But first, I'll start. )

The Deutsche Bibliothek online catalog rocks my tediously-copy-editing-and-filling-in-bibliographical-details-of-multi-volume-German-works world!


Update 16 minutes later:

Hmm. I take that back: it has been no help at all with determining what year Bd. 14 of Goethes Saemtliche Werke. Jubilaeums-Ausgabe in 40 Bdn., hrsg. v. E. von der Hellen (Berlin 1902-1907) was published. Sadly, this matters in my job.

Obviously one can narrow it down to a five-year period, but that's not good enough. The public deserves better.

Nor is it such that I can simply go and look at the thing on the shelf, as (a) I'm working from home and (b) it's not in the library I have access to anyway.

Oh well. Time to go to the Y soon.


For some reason, livejournal resists the Umlaut.
