#meepa

You will never change my mind

I'd rather die then let you make me betray him

The years roll on with or without me

I'm already gone cause I'm living on borrowed

time

You can try to trick me into what you're seekin

Give me drugs and make me start to crack and

weaken

You can tell me lies and you can blind my eyes

and

You can do your best to do you worst and get in

my head

If you know my legal name, please don't use it in public on the Internet without asking me first! This includes tumblr, open chat rooms, and anything else where random strangers may read it.

I do occasionally use it myself. That's my choice to make. Please don't take that as permission to use it! Ask first!

My preferred names are kalany or Meepa (kah-LAH-nee, MEE-pa). Meepa is usually reserved for good friends, but I'm more okay with you calling me that than my legal name. If in doubt, please call me kalany. (You can capitalize it if you like, but I usually don't.)

Twitter and Google+ are special cases. They both are associated with my legal name, and I have followers from RL on there. If you know me primarily from online, I'd really appreciate it if you still called me kalany or Meepa. RL friends, if you're reading this, could you make an effort to call me Meepa on twitter? Thanks!

If we're chatting privately, I'm okay with being called by my legal name, although I still prefer Meepa if you want something "personal". Just, please, avoid using it in public?

I know this probably seems like a weird request; I know many tumblrers like being called by their RL names. I'm just not one of them. I've been kalany online for the last sixteen years, and Meepa for almost twenty. My legal name is who I am to my parents and my professors. I'm just not comfortable with it in an online setting. I'd really appreciate it if you could respect that and not use it. Thank you!
