On the 'Net, I could be Anyone

[bcholmes]

Every once in a while, someone on my friends list will post one of those long questionaires that other people are supposed to answer to indicate how well they know the person. Or they'll fill out a questionnaire talking about how well the people on their friends list knows them (á là "how many of your friends have been to your house?").

It occurs to me every once in a while that most people who know me don't even know what my legal name is. How many people know what "BC" stands for? How many people know know that I have two middle names? I could be anyone ferchrissakes.

Wow. That's neat. Boy name, then, eh?

I legally changed it in... September of 1998, I think. Or maybe it was 1997.

Hm, this is weird and stalker-ish, but I know someone who used to work with you (in KW) and I think he knew what BC stands for and I think he even told me, but now I can't remember. :)

PS - Discussion ensued, as he has a cat named BC, which stands for Bad Cat. *heh*

Erm, it's longish and slightly awkward - I'll email.
