lauriestein is dead. Long live damelola!

[damelola]

I changed my username. In case you're drunk and wondering what the hell is going on.  Since the Queen somehow overlooked me in the New Year's Eve Honours, I have made myself a Dame.  You'd best believe I am somehow expecting to get boozy with fellow DBE Harriet Walter as a result.   A girl can scheme, can't she...?  

(Also, I like that it could be Spanish for 'gimme Lola'.  Which I'm sure you all say on a daily basis, etc.)

Hahahaha when I first saw your new username on my f-list, I of course was immediately like, "...who on earth is this?" and then when I actually read the post and realised it was you, I was then like, "what on earth is a dameola?" I was pronouncing it dam-ee-ola in my head.

But then I re-read the post and read it properly, and now it all makes sense! While I'm sad to see lauriestein go, a new name can feel like a brand new journal with a fresh start. Hooray! :D

Yes, a fresh start feels lovely. And this way people can stop assuming I think Hugh and Lisa are secretly married and making babies ;)

I aim to confuse!
