Bjorn and Name Changes

Bjorn now has 25 users, and they've seemed tremendously excited about it, for the most part. I've even gotten emails and private messages! This has made me very excited all day. *laugh* My main reservation about doing the site was whether it would have visitors and active members, so I'm feeling a little less anxious. I have a theory that Swedes in general have a somewhat easier time in the US than Americans do in Sweden. I don't know if that's universally true or if I have a skewed perspective from Magnus adjusting so well and hearing people gripe at Amerikanska all the time. :) Anyway, I'm glad to see that it's beginning to go somewhere, and I rather hope it continues. M and I are having great fun with it! He says that now we're Alpha Dorks. ;)

And now for something completely different. Changing names upon marriage was mentioned today, and I remembered something I wrote and set aside for proofreading later on and forgot about. Turned out that I wrote it over a year ago. *laugh* Oops. See, I told you I procrastinate. Anyway, it's fairly decent, though a little more.. harsh than I would be if I wrote it now. At the time, I was feeling somewhat guilty for changing my name when we got married, and I suppose I was justifying it to myself more than anyone else. I have these "ideas" of "equality" and "feminism". (Pardon the sarcasm.) Anyway. Ignore if you wish, just getting it out of my system, since it was meant to be a journal entry at the time. :)
