rename token?

[cimorene]

The 1s in my username have long plagued me. They're a leftover from when I first got an aim name at the tender age of 14, if you can believe that, and about 11 years old now (the same age as my dog, coincidentally).

The problem is that the usernames cimorene and cim are already taken on livejournal. Last year isilya went to a great deal of trouble trying to get them for me from the teenies who haven't updated them in like 8 years, but didn't have any luck. I've thought a lot about what I might do with a name-change token, like cimorenest or cimorened, both of which are okay but not wholly satisfying. Now I'm thinking about cimness, which is currently my writing journal. It's also my current aim handle and my favourite of several nicknames, because it preserves the desired regal air along with an infusion of whimsy. It would be an exact representation of my personality if it also had a whiff of misanthropy, elitism, or at least snark, but one can't have everything.

So it's not like I need it as backup of my fiction. I have webspace at cimorene.net and plenty of room for backups on waxjism.org and also some emergency backup space given to me by the gracious and lovely anatsuno at cimorene.anatsuno.net as well. So I've been thinking about that.

Oh man, I know the pain of people who won't give up names and that you can't get a hold of. It pains me that I can't have renne so much. :/

I like Cimness too, but you could also just change your spelling. Both cimoreen and cimorine are available. Just a thought.
