What's in a name?

So I'm going a bit "out of character" here, but am hoping to find some sympathy.

I don't want to "come out".  Strange that a grown-ass woman has gotten attached to her fictitious persona, but there you have it.  There are times when I "Esmie" in real life.  Oh, well.  All good things.......

This weekend I hope to finish the swap bag and whip of a batch of cockroach clusters and peppermint toads.  Yummm!

Emma Wigworthy said...

Very interesting! I don't want to let go of my persona either - I definitely want to 'be' Emma Wigworthy next time round also. FWIW I'm pretty sure I know your true identity anyway, and sure most folk know mine! The problem is that we could only be truly anonymous pals to new first years next time if we keep these personas after being 'outed'. It's fascinating that I can relate to both personas of the people who I've sussed. The world of Hogwarts has become like a parallel world to me.

Fleur Lovegoods said...

I totally agree with you. I have come to love Fleur Lovegoods and know that, deep down, I am her and she is me. I too would love to remain Fleur next term but how could I remain anonymous? Oh, well, maybe I will grow and change with a new and different identity. Wonder if she will love peacock feathers too!

I too want to hang on to my persona. I've been brainstorming how to make it work for next round. Maybe if I try to be really sneaky and totally secret like those this round that have kept their identity totally secret this round. Hmmm...I think I'll have to ponder this issue more.
