Thanks all for the welcomes!

Knight no, that is not Arabic. It comes from Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover novels - I am a member of a virtual Renunciate Guildhouse, and Esme nha Maire is my Renunciate name. it simply states that I, Esme, am the daughter of my mother, Maire, although I Gallicised her name to use as the last component of mine. For some years it was a lifeline to me, that online bunch of strong-minded women, and I took a form of the Oath in all seriousness and keep to it to the best of my ability, and always will.

(Chuckle) Thanks for letting me know that, Knight! Esme's a very longstanding nickname I was given, after Esme Weatherwax from the Discworld stories, in the days of Fidonet, so it's short for Esmerelda. I then used Esme as a pseudonym because of concerns over net stalking on Usenet back then, but it crept into the real world, and now I've been known socially as Esme for years, and I like it better than my original name (I very much admire Esme Weatherwax), so i am about to change my name legally to Esme.

Back when I was playing Eve Online for a few months, a couple of times guys jeered at me for one of my characters names, ie: Esme, thinking that it was a misspelt version of 'It's me', which they thought lame -to which I replied that they really ought to get out more and meet some girls, as they'd clearly not met enough to have encountered an Esmerelda before. Oddly enough they suddenly went very quiet, both times.

howdy! i stumbled my way here through google. i’m a baby butch i guess, almost 22, figured it out at 19. i spent all my teen years flipping between identites because nothing fit and i didn’t know what it really meant to be a butch lesbian at the time. and what a ride.

anyway, where i am right now: in college for engineering because i’m a dork who thinks calculus is fun. i had to drop out the first time around because of depression, but i’ve gotten all As since returning.

looking forward to talking to yall! good night!
