Because [livejournal.com profile] ehzoterik tagged me, and I've got nothing better to do while I wait for the girl upstairs to stop showering:

Explain your LiveJournal name and its meaning. When you're done, tag as many people as there are letters in your name.

In my very earliest writings, I, of course, had dragons. In the multiverse this writing spanned, the most potent good dragons and their evil counterparts formed organizations known as Circles, each composed of seven dragons. The good dragons consisted of Life, Light, Time, Love, Beauty... the evil ones were Death, Darkness, Despair, Space... I honestly don't remember them all. In any case the hero of the group was really the Dragon of Life. After I abandoned my initial writing like the crap it was, I retooled the stories once again, but I kept the same divisions of dragons and the concept of titled dragons being of immense power, and again the hero remained Wraith, the Dragon of Life. At the time my own identification with dragons was also strengthening, so I vaguely took the title on for myself as well. When I finally decided to create a livejournal, it seemed the most distinctive way to identify myself.

Screw tagging people, though, I'll never get 12 people to do this.

Dear Lord...

...and as long as I have known you, it still takes conscious effort to remember you have any other name but this one (and that *includes* Rhydin time).

Oh, and Hi.

So far as the Interweb is concerned, I'd rather it not have any other name but this one.

So this means I shouldn't post your senior picture?

How are things going, by the way? I skimmed a little. You seem to be in much better shape all around.

I still have this one. Do you know, I didn't remember who you had commissioned these from? And all this while I've been reading Dominic Deegan completely unawares.

And these have to be worth a heckuva lot more now than when we got them. I knew I should've gotten autographed prints of them.

You would clean up.

Eh, who cares. The whole point was that y'all liked them.

I hope you're happy, Dragon. I truly do. I'm sorry i wasn't the friend to you i should have been.

I could be better, but I have been worse.

And nobody's perfect. So imagine I'm saying "apology accepted" without the condescending tone of smug rightness that usually comes with that phrase. It's why I hate that phrase.

Thanks, hon.
