I just thought it would be nice to make a little announcement. Thanks to the supreme kindness of **TubaDiva** , I have now had my name changed. But I’m not a stranger. Hi everybody! ---

I changed the Elenia tag because I’ve been using the name Elenia online since I was 17. I am now 29! I thought it was about time for a change, at least on this board. I think I will wait a while before I tell what Anaamika means; some people may already know though. 😉 ---

I missed this the first time, but of course there are! My legal name is the name of a river goddess, and I don’t think she exacts vengeful destruction. Well, then again, I love sushi and shellfish, so I uess I’d better stay away from rivers for a while. Might be tough, seeing as how I live practically on the Hudson.
